A receiver pin is provided for attaching a ball mount to a receiver on a vehicle. The receiver pin includes a body having an insertion portion and a retaining portion. The insertion portion is sized for insertion through aligned openings in the ball mount and the receiver. The retaining portion extends at least partially laterally from a proximal end of the insertion portion for limiting axial movement of the inserted body in a first direction. The insertion portion also includes a transverse receiving aperture at a distal end for receiving a retaining clip to limit axial movement of the inserted body in a second direction.
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/690,597, filed Jun. 15, 2005, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
An assembly comprising a plurality of linked members configured to inter-operate with a cord member. The plurality of link members are interconnected such that the body of one link member passes through the inner surface defining a void of the other link member. In this way, each link member is connected to its adjacent neighbor. A load-bearing flexible cord member is configured to interoperate with the plurality of link members in such a way that a portion of the cord member passes through the inner surface defining a void of a least one of the link members. This provides an improved attachment method over existing chains, and individual cords.
