Abstract: An arm extends from a support assembly which may be clamped to the edge of a desk and the angle of the arm relative to the support assembly is adjusted by turning a knob.The outer end of the arm has a swivel connection to a small table or other device. The swivel connection includes a ball and a post extending from the ball. The ball is adjustably clamped between a rim of a hole in the arm and a rim of a hole of an adjustable lever means. The lever means is released and tightened by a knob.

Abstract: An improved, convertible ski carrier in which a retainer for the skis is utilized is disclosed. The retainer includes a shelf for ski poles and is hingeably mounted to the carrier. The carrier itself is provided with a transverse opening to enable more versatility in the mounting of the carrier on a vehicle. An additional shank has been added to a locking mechanism to improve stability and anti-theft properties and an auxiliary locking mechanism including a bracket plate similar to the bracket plate intended for use with a vehicle has been added. The bracket, e.g. the assembly intended to be affixed to a vehicle, has been modified to utilize only a single vertical plate from which two bracket plates extend at right angles in opposite directions from each other.

Abstract: A convertible carrier for skis in which skis are contained in a hand carrier portion which allows easy transportation of skis to the slope and, at the same time, is capable of being slidably attached and locked to a bracket portion which remains permanently fixed on the automobile. An auxiliary locking mechanism allows the carrier to be locked to a tree, etc., at the slope.The carrier housing is L-shaped with a handle attached to one leg of the L. Skis rest on their side on the other leg of the L. A locking mechanism is interconnected with the handle by a bar of the lock which fits into a groove of the handle shank. The shank extends through the housing and through an opening the bracket plate, thus preventing the carrier from being released from the bracket. To release the carrier from the bracket, a key is inserted in the lock and rotation of the key rotates the bar from the groove in the handle shank.
