ABSTRACT:
To permit universal attachment of a luggage carrier (2) to a bicycle frame (1), and particularly to a cross element (9, 69) secured to the rear fork (6a, 6b) of the frame, a clamping element (22, 322, 422, 622) is provided for joining the end portion of the luggage carrier to the bicycle frame. The clamping element is formed with an engagement surface (24, 25, 26, 71a) fitting on, matching and engaging a portion of the cross brace (9, 69) with a projection-and-recess fit. The clamping element and the cross brace are attached together, for example by the same screw which can hold a caliper brake. The clamping element is, further, formed with at least one recess (35, 335, 62, 74, 75, 71), shaped and dimensioned to receive at least part of an extending end portion of the luggage carrier and extending essentially at right angles to the rear fork. This end portion may be formed by a cross element (13) or by free ends (411, 412) extending from the luggage carrier. If formed by a cross element, it can be received in an elongated groove in the clamping element, and clamped therein; if formed as projecting end portions, they can be passed through suitable reception openings and retained by set screws.
