Abstract

A display rack for displaying trailer hitch balls is disclosed. The display rack includes a first elongated member, where the first elongated member includes a first portion, and a second portion; a second elongated member, which is approximately parallel to the first elongated member and includes a first portion and a second portion; and a connector member, which is coupled on a first end to the first portion of the first elongated member and coupled on a second end to the first portion of the second elongated member. The first elongated member and the second elongated member are spaced apart in a manner that accommodates the display of at least one trailer hitch ball.

       5 . The rack of  claim 1 , further comprising a layer covering at least a portion of an exterior surface of the second elongated member.  
   
   
       6 . The rack of  claim 1 , wherein the connector member is connected to the first and second elongated members in a manner that provides for the spacing between the first and second elongated members to be altered.  
   
   
       7 . The rack of  claim 1 , wherein the lengths of the first and second elongated members are adjustable.  
   
   
       8 . The rack of  claim 1 , further comprising a securing member; 
 wherein the securing member is coupled to the second portion of the first elongated member and the second portion of the second elongated member;    further wherein the securing member can couple the display rack to an object.    
   
   
       9 . The rack of  claim 8 , wherein the first portions of the first and second elongated members are horizontally lower than the second portions of the first and second elongated members when the rack is coupled to an object.  
   
   
       10 . The rack of  claim 1 , further comprising a front plate; 
 wherein the front plate is coupled to the connector member;    further wherein the front plate can accommodate the display of information.    
   
   
       11 . The rack of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second elongated members are rigid bars.  
   
   
       12 . A rack for displaying trailer hitch balls comprising: 
 a) a u-shaped frame comprising: 
 i) a first portion,  
 ii) a second portion, and  
 iii) a third portion;  
   wherein the first portion and the second portion are approximately parallel to one another and the third portion is positioned between the first and second portions;    further wherein the first and second portions are spaced apart in a manner to accommodate at least one trailer hitch ball.    
   
   
       13 . The rack of  claim 12 , wherein a cross-section of the frame is circular.  
   
   
       14 . The rack of  claim 12 , further comprising a layer covering at least a portion of an exterior surface of the frame.  
   
   
       15 . The rack of  claim 12 , wherein the lengths of the first and second portions of the frame are adjustable.  
   
   
       16 . The rack of  claim 12 , further comprising a securing member coupled to the frame, wherein the securing member can couple the display rack to an object.  
   
   
       17 . The rack of  claim 16 , wherein a first end of the frame is horizontally lower than a second end of the frame when the rack is coupled to an object.  
   
   
       18 . The display rack of  claim 12 , further comprising a front plate; 
 wherein the front plate is coupled to a first end of the frame;    further wherein the front plate can accommodate the display of information.
