ABSTRACT:
An article carrier assembly suitable for detachably mounting articles to a vehicle such as bicycles, and the like articles. A rigid tubular frame structure is fastened to an externally mounted vehicle spare tire. The carrier frame assembly has a vertical telescoping portion that attaches to a horizontal upper support which has two outwardly extending tubular sections that are at right angles to the vertical telescoping portion. Also contained on the horizontal upper support are one or more outwardly extending support members which contact and support the article being carried. The tubular frame assembly is bound in place by cable or cord of sufficient length which passes through the lower portion of the vertical telescoping support and is wrapped around the backside of said vehicle spare tire and attached to the two horizontal tube sections which rest on the vehicle spare tire tread. The binding or clamping effect is created by way of a threaded bolt of sufficient length which goes into a complimentary nut affixed to the lower portion of the telescoping vertical section whereby when the tension bolt is turned in one direction shortens the telescoping vertical support and binds carrier to said vehicle spare tire.
