ABSTRACT:
A carrier rack designed for mounting to the rear of a motor vehicle is described. for the mounting of bicycles, brackets on the rack provide a four-point support attaching to the wheels of the bicycle, one above and one below the center of each of the front and rear wheels, without contacting any finished surfaces of the bicycle other than the wheel rims. The brackets are pivotally mounted to the frame so that they extend outward perpendicular to the frame when in use and are rotatable into the plane of the frame when not in use. Manually operated locking features secure the support arms in either of the two positions. Also disclosed is a carrier rack frame which engages the rear bumper of the vehicle and has straps to secure the frame under tension to such features as the top edge of a hatchback window and tow loops beneath the chassis. Unique methods of securement to these features are disclosed.
