ABSTRACT:
A simple, yet sturdy bicycle and ski carrier for attachment to a vehicle trailer hitch includes an inverted L-shaped post, the horizontal top arm of which receives brackets for connecting articles to the post, a frame at the bottom end of the post, and a mounting block for attachment to the rear end of a trailer hitch bar. The frame includes a rod extending between parallel sides for insertion into a transverse groove in the front of the mounting block, a sleeve near the rear end of the frame rotatably supporting cam plates, a lever for rotating the cam plates, and a linkage between the lever and the plates, for rotating the latter between a mounting block engaging position for securing the frame on the block and a release position, permitting removal of the frame from the hitch.
