Abstract
A safety cover for a trailer hitch which has a tow ball and a draw bar. The cover serves to protect and to cover the trailer hitch and to prevent injury to those working in the vicinity of the trailer hitch. The cover is first comprised of a shell which is dimensioned to be large enough and deep enough to cover both the tow ball and at least a portion of the drawbar. The shell is fabricated from durable material and is configured to have no exposed sharp edges. Inside of the shell is a filler material. The filler material is a malleable substance such as rubber or plastic. The filler material fills the shell and forms a base. The filler material includes a cavity which is shaped to closely receive the tow ball and draw bar of the trailer hitch. This allows the cover to fit over the trailer hitch with minimal play. Finally, a fastener is placed at the base of the filler material proximal to the back side of the of the cover. The fastener further secures the cover onto the trailer hitch by wrapping under the drawbar.
