ABSTRACT:
A detachable carrier for use on motor vehicles such as cars, trucks, and the like. A lower hollow post is pivotably connected to an upper hollow post that carries a cross piece on which a pair of hangers are mounted. An anchor bolt is fixed on the lower post for mounting the carrier on a conventional trailer hitch mounting bracket. A locking pin cooperates with superimposed locking holes to lock the carrier in the upright position. A counterbalancing spring and a stop-limit chain are mounted inside the hollow posts. The spring is a coil spring in one embodiment and a leaf spring in another embodiment. An assembly is provided for adjusting the counterbalancing spring force applied to the posts.
