ABSTRACT:
A luggage carrier for attachment to the rear side of a vehicle and including an external bottom frame having channel means for pivotally supporting the carrier on a receiver post projecting rearwardly at about the level of the vehicle bumper. The luggage carrier further includes an internal frame having a bottom subframe portion, a pair of lateral subframes and a forward, vertically extending subframe. A rigid panel is secured to the forward vertically extending subframe. An arcuate closure subassembly is pivotally connected to the upper side of the forward subframe, and is pivotable to a position covering the opening at the top of the luggage carrier. The internal frame is covered by a flexible fabric sleeve or encasement, and vinyl pads are interposed between the fabric encasement and the frame to smooth the flexible fabric of the encasement. A closure support subassembly is foldably mounted internally in the luggage carrier and can be folded into a position to prop the closure subassembly in a contents-accessing position.
