ABSTRACT:
The specification discloses apparatus for mounting a loadcarrying apparatus such as a basket (10) to the carrier rack (12) on a conventional bicycle. The clamping assembly (22) includes an upper jaw (26) and a lower jaw (28) dimensioned to engage the horizontal support member (18) of the carrier rack. A bolt extending from lower jaw (28) through the upper jaw (26) is provided for compressing and releasing the clamping assembly. Rotation of a knob (68) threaded through the bolt outside of the upper jaw permits adjustment of the compression exerted by the jaws. A separate releasable locking assembly (24) connected to the loadcarrying structure is provided for receiving and engaging the nonhorizontal support member (20) of the carrier rack. The locking assembly (24) contains a pair of coaxially mounted discs configured to interlock with one another in a variety of rotational positions. A mounting disc (30) is rigidly connected to the loadcarrying structure and interlocks with a locking disc (32). The outer surface of the locking disc (32) contains a channel (34) dimensioned to receive the nonhorizontal support member (20) therein. Angular slots (38) are provided in opposite walls at each end of the channel (34) to engage the nonhorizontal support member (20) in the locking assembly when the loadcarrying structure is rotated relative to the rack and the horizontal support member (18) is restrained by the clamping assembly (20).
