ABSTRACT:
A multi-purpose carrier for external attachment to a land vehicle, said carrier conceived for carrying objects which are too large or cumbersome to carry inside the vehicle. The carrier comprises a retractable platform which holds the objects, wherein the platform is rotatably pivotable through two separate movements; one such rotational movement being about an axis which is parallel to the longitudinal front-to-rear central axis of the land vehicle, and by this latter rotational movement the carrying platform is lowered at an angle with one end juxtaposed adjacent the ground near the vehicle so that an inclined plane is formed to facilitate the loading movement of the object onto the platform from the ground, and from this latter inclined position the carrying platform is then rotated upwardly to a level position for the carrying position. The other rotational movement of the carrying platform is about a transverse axis which is perpendicular to the longitudinal front-to-rear central axis of the vehicle. This latter rotational movement is used to tilt the platform, when empty, into an upright vertical position adjacent the side of the land vehicle for storage positioning when not used.
