ABSTRACT:
A utility rack is designed for attachment to class II type trailer hitches mounted adjacent the rear bumper of a vehicle. The utility rack is designed to provide additional storage and transportation space to modern down-sized vehicles. The utility rack has a mounting bar which terminates in a straight portion having a free end dimensioned for insertion into a class II type trailer hitch. The mounting bar has an upwardly inclined portion having an end which terminates at an elevation substantially above the trailer hitch. An upwardly opening V-shaped transverse support strut and a vertical support column are connected to the mounting bar and support a rectangular platform having a horizontal steel mesh surface. A pair of tail lights are mounted in steel reinforced guards on a rear edge of the platform. A conventional wire harness is utilized to connect the tail lights to the vehicle electrical system. The utility rack may be utilized for transporting game animals and a wide variety of other items.
