  • the embodiment of the first unit shown in Figure is generally very similar in construction tothat of the first unit of the Figure 3 first unit.
  • the first unit shown in Figure 4 has been more schematically represented. It is thought that additional description of Figure 4 is not required since it would essentially be a repetition of that of the first unit of Figure 3.
  • Figure 5 schematically illustrates a second unit construction which inso far as the engagement thereof with the associated first unit is essentially the same as that involved ith the second unit of Figure 3.
  • the primary ditterence between the two second units is that he u per end ot the second unit of Figure 5 does not involved the ball like connection for use with caravans but terminates in a push locking head only which- is adapred ro be locked into its downward locking position by means ot a key operated lock.3.
