Abstract
An interchangeable hitch ball assembly includes a towing ball with a mounting aperture and an annular race in communication with the mounting aperture. The assembly also includes a post having a base, a threaded axial bore and a plurality of openings in communication with the axial bore. A ball bearing is received in each opening. A threaded plunger includes a first segment of relatively small diameter, a second segment of relatively large diameter and a cam surface extending between and connecting the two segments. The plunger is held in the axial bore of the post and is displaceable between a first position allowing the removal and installation of a hitch ball from/on the post and a second position securing the hitch ball to the post while allowing relative rotation of the hitch ball on the post.
