ABSTRACT:
A telescopically extendable and collapsible bumper-style bicycle carrying rack for motor vehicles. A pair of bumperette housing members disposed in spaced apart relationship are secured to or form a part of the bumper of a motor vehicle. Telescoping support members are members are mounted within the bumperette housing members and are vertically extendable therefrom. A cross brace member is transversely mounted to the tops of the vertically extendable support members for vertical movement therewith. A plurality of bicycle hanger members are adjustably positionable along the length of the cross brace member to enable rapid placement of the hangers for accommodating the size constraints of the particular bicycle to be carried thereby. The vertically telescoping support members may be manually raised and lowered, in which case manually operable latching members lock the telescoping parts in their extended operative position, or can be automatically raised and lowered by means of a motor assembly. The apparatus is aesthetically pleasing and out-of-the-way when disposed in its non-supportive collapsed position such that the vertically telescoping support members are collapsed and encompassed within the bumperette housing members, the cross brace member lies in close proximity with and parallel to the bumper, and the bicycle hanger extensions are folded flat against the cross brace member.
