Abstract: A carrier for a ball such as a baseball adapted to be mounted on a bicycle, the carrier being formed of a single integral piece of wire generally in the form of a Figure - 8, having a large lower loop converging to a constriction, and then diverging and terminating in a smaller upper loop. The carrier is bent to correspond to the spherical surface of the ball, with the smaller loop clamping the ball against the larger loop and maintaining the ball in place. An integral pair of eyes are provided at the ends of the larger loop for mounting on an object such as a bicycle.

Abstract: A carrier for an elongate article such as a baseball bat adapted to be mounted on a bicycle, comprising a first supporting member formed of a frame member having an elastomeric sheet-form retaining member supported thereon, the retaining member having a central aperture adapted to receive and retain a portion of the baseball bat therein, and a second supporting member for engaging and supporting another portion of the baseball bat, and means for mounting the supporting members on the bicycle. In a further embodiment a ball-supporting member formed of a single piece of wire having at least two helically positioned turns adapted to engage the ball is provided having means for mounting the ball-supporting member on one of the bat-supporting members or on the bicycle frame itself.
