Abstract
A self-locking scissor coupler, provision for holding guide poles, for attaching a trailer to a trailer hitch ball. The coupler includes a body, a pair of movable jaws, and a bail. The body attaches to the trailer. The pair of movable jaws are pivotally mounted to the body and normally biased open. The bail is pivotally mounted to the body and normally biased down so as to allow the pair of movable jaws to be normally biased open when the bail is lifted up and disengaged from the pair of movable jaws, and when the pair of movable jaws are engaged by the trailer hitch ball, the pair of jaws close causing the bail to drop, engage the pair of movable jaws, and maintain the pair of jaws closed, thereby automatically capturing the trailer hitch ball in the pair of movable jaws.
