Abstract: A hitch-mount bicycle carrier including a vehicle engaging frame, an elongate support member coupled to the vehicle engaging frame, a foot, and a trigger. The vehicle engaging frame has a proximal end configured to be coupled to a hitch receiver of a vehicle. The elongate support member has a longitudinal axis and a distal end. The elongate support member is configured to move between a plurality of orientations relative to the vehicle engaging frame. The foot is fixedly coupled to and extends distally from the distal end of the elongate support member. The foot defines an interior space, and the trigger is disposed within the interior space. A distal end of the foot is the distal-most end of the bicycle carrier. The foot and the trigger are configured to be gripped by a user, and the trigger is configured to translate linearly.

Abstract: A load carrier bracket for coupling a load carrier foot to a vehicle is disclosed. The load carrier bracket has a vehicle engaging section and a trough-shaped coupling portion. The trough-shaped coupling portion extends from the vehicle engaging section in a longitudinal direction of the load carrier bracket and has a holder engaging section which is configured to be releasably engageable with a holder of the load carrier foot. The trough-shaped coupling portion is continuously convexly formed in its longitudinal direction such that it is configured to apply higher forces on an outer surface of the trough-shaped coupling portion.

Abstract: The roof rack foot for a roof rack for a vehicle as disclosed herein comprises a body and a cross bar coupling member. The body comprises a support surface. The cross bar coupling member has a length extending in a longitudinal direction, and a height extending in a height direction. The cross bar coupling member comprises a length adjustment member. The length adjustment member extends in the longitudinal direction and has an elongated body portion and an axially aligned first end portion. The cross bar coupling member is configured to engage with the first end portion of the length adjustment member and to enable the length adjustment member to be fully or partly inserted into a cross bar end cavity when the cross bar coupling member is received in a roof rack cross bar in a retained position.

Abstract: A child bike seat includes a seat body having a seat shell for accommodating a child therein and a support structure for supporting the seat shell. The support structure includes two parts, with an edge portion of the seat shell disposed between the two parts of the support structure for holding the seat shell on the support structure. A method of assembling a child bike seat includes providing a frame part, arranging a seat shell for accommodating a child therein on the frame part, mounting a cover part to the frame part such that an edge portion of the seat shell is disposed between the frame part and the cover part.

Abstract: A roof rack foot for securing a cross bar to a roof of a vehicle, the cross bar having a bottom wall with a slot and a cavity for forming an abutment surface, the slot having a centerline, the roof rack foot having a supporting surface for supporting the bottom wall of the cross bar, a first and a second clamping portion for clamping the roof rack foot to the roof, the second clamping portion having an anchoring arm and configured to extend through the slot into the cavity and lock the cross bar to the supporting surface by engagement of the anchoring arm with the abutment surface. When the cross bar is locked to the roof rack foot, the anchoring arm stands upright on the abutment surface and at least partially extends away from the centerline of the cross bar at an extension angle.

Abstract: A child transport carrier includes a lower frame, an upper frame, a rear frame, and a first upper seat support. The lower frame includes a first end and a second end. The upper frame includes a first end and a second end. The rear frame extends from the second end of the lower frame to the second end of the upper frame. The first upper seat support includes a cross-member extending transversely across the first upper seat support and having a first end and a second end. The cross-member is configured to move the first upper seat support between a first seat position and a second seat position. The upper frame extends from an upper end of the rear frame and the lower frame extends from a lower end of the rear frame.

Abstract: A stroller and foldable frame assembly for a stroller includes a locking mechanism adjustable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking mechanism is configured to releasably lock the foldable frame assembly in its use configuration and/or storage configuration by releasably and internally locking at least one of a respective swivel joint assembly of the frame assembly. The locking mechanism includes an actuation element configured to adjust the locking mechanism between the unlocked and the locked position that is arranged spaced apart transversely to a swivel axis of the respective at least one internally lockable swivel joint.

Abstract: A carriage having a frame which includes a plurality of elongated frame components. A first attachment point couples a first and second elongated frame component. A second attachment point couples a third and fourth elongated frame component. A transverse elongated frame component couples to the first and second attachment points. A rotation lock is disposed on the transverse elongated frame component. The rotation lock is configured to prevent rotation of the transverse elongated frame component in a locked configuration.

Abstract: A lid for a cargo carrier having a reinforced front portion for reducing a flexibility of the lid at least in the reinforced front portion. The reinforced front portion includes a reinforcing structure. The reinforcing structure includes at least two continuous elongate reinforcing sections. Each of the at least two continuous elongate reinforcing sections extends along or is defined in an inner surface of the lid and has a different main extension direction. At least two of the at least two continuous elongate reinforcing sections cross each other and each of the at least two continuous elongate reinforcing sections extends along a path defined by a differentiable function.

Abstract: A hydration backpack includes a main body, a storage compartment, a pair of shoulder straps, a bladder, a hydration tube, a first longitudinal elongated metallic element, and a second longitudinal elongated metallic element. The bladder is disposed in the storage compartment of the main body and is configured to retain liquid. The hydration tube includes a proximal end coupled to the bladder and a distal end providing liquid to a user on demand. The first longitudinal elongated metallic element is disposed on one shoulder strap. The second longitudinal elongated metallic element is disposed on the hydration tube. The first and second longitudinal elongated metallic elements are configured to connect by gravitational and magnetic forces and form an automatic hydration tube return system.

Abstract: A bicycle carrier includes a vehicle engaging frame portion configured to be coupled a carrying vehicle and a rearward extending support member coupled to the vehicle engaging frame portion by a variably configurable hub configured to set the support member in a plurality of orientations relative to the vehicle engaging frame portion. The support member accommodates one or more bicycles and the support member is configured to be coupled to an add-on support member that accommodates one or more additional bicycles. The add-on support member includes an actuator configured to set the support member in the plurality of orientations relative to the vehicle engaging frame.
