ABSTRACT:
A carrier support arrangement that attaches to a vehicle between a rear bumper crash bar and mounting pads that are provided at the rear of the body of the vehicle. The carrier support is formed of a transverse support bar that has a modified hollow tubular beam construction, with attachment lands its ends. Tubular socket members receive attachment rods of the associated carrier. The tubular beam construction if formed of an upper member and lower member welded together. The web portions of the beam have a series of triangular cutouts, leaving a series of diagonal struts. This construction achieves a weight savings without sacrifice of strength or torsion resistance.
