Caping blade

A trailer hitch guide for use in guiding a trailer hitch socket onto a cooperating hitch ball mounted on the platform of the recess in a step-type bumper of a vehicle for towing the trailer. The guide has a plate from a first surface of which a pair spaced apart guide walls extend, the guide walls having a first portion extending substantially normal to the plate and a second portion diverging away from the space between the guide walls. The plate carries a pair of threaded connecting members which act to connect the plate to the riser wall of the recess, and a pair of threaded abutment members which act to abut the riser wall. The connecting members and the abutment members are adjusted to position the plate against a pair of stop members secured to the platform spaced from the hitch ball, the stop members being located so that when the plate engages the stop members a trailer hitch entering the space between the guide walls and just touching the plate will be properly located for coupling with the ball. The plate may be removed and stored after each use.
