ABSTRACT:
To permit universal attachment of a reflector to any type of luggage carrier, for example having a rectangular frame (1) with bent-down struts (5, 6) extending from longitudinal bars or rods (2, 3) in a transition zone (25, 26), a pair of engagement and holding elements (14) of essentially triangular shape are provided, preferably unitary with a resiliently deforming connecting plate (16) and made of plastic, and having internally projecting clamping elements (15) fitting around the frame parts in the transition zone. For assembly, the resiliently deformable connecting plate is deformed until the clamping elements snap around the rectangular frame, or the support struts respectively, and further resilient deformation is prevented by screwing there against a stiff reflector plate (13) carry carrying the reflector structure as such. The upper surface (125) of the holding elements (14) which fit against the frame in the transition zone may form an extension of the carrier surface. The holding elements can be made to fit the curvature of the transition zone of standard support struts, or may be formed as small projections for universal fit against the support struts or frame elements of any type of carrier for retrofitting such a carrier with a reflector plate.
