ABSTRACT:
A cycle and/or ski rack for mounting on vehicles comprises a set of branches in V-shape (2, 3) interconnected at the acute end of the V-shape by a mutually spacing connecting link means (7). Mutually pivotable gripping and holding means (8A, 8B) are arranged at the connecting link means between the branches of the V-shape for gripping a holding device, such as a ball (1) associated with a trailer towing hitch behind a vehicle. The V-shape branches are held in a mutual position by a toggle joint-like cross link connection (4, 5, 6) comprising in particular two parallel link arms on at least one side of the toggle joint. A releasing arm (6A) is designed with an extension (6B) extending from the releasing arm in the direction of the releasing movement and is adapted with a further extension (6G) which extends further in below a member (45) positioned below the releasing arm in the area of the toggle joint mechanism.
