  • Detachable carrier for automobiles
    Patent number: 5845831
    Abstract: A car carrier adapted to mount to a trailer hitch of a vehicle with a motion-dampening mechanism. The carrier includes a horizontal hitch insert assembly, an upright column assembly rotatably engaged to the horizontal hitch insert assembly and at least one resistive member coupled to the upright column assembly. The resistive member can be actuated to produce a resistive force along the horizontal hitch insert assembly to dampen a movement of the upright column assembly when the upright column assembly is rotated.

  • Wobble-free trailer hitch mounting for bicycle carrier
    Patent number: 5244133
    Abstract: A bicycle carrier for mounting to a trailer hitch on an automobile or the like, has a carrier frame for carrying one or more cycles, and a coupling assembly attached to the frame, the coupling assembly including first and second members adapted for insertion into the hitch and a screw adjustable for effecting relative displacement of the two members transversely to the hitch making a tight friction-fit of the coupling to keep the cycle carrier frame from wobbling on the hitch.
