に不都合を生ずることもない。According to the present invention constructed as described above, since the winding means is linked to the towing member, even if the vehicle-to-vehicle distance between both vehicles equipped with this device is reduced, the winding means is immediately connected. Since a predetermined amount is wound up, the towing member does not sag, and the towed vehicle can be towed safely, and even when used on snowy roads, muddy roads, etc., there is no contact with the road surface. It does not become dirty or cause any inconvenience during storage after use.
