  • Patent number: 9321406
    Abstract: A collapsible bicycle rack to be transported at the rear of a motor vehicle for carrying bicycles that are aligned vertically with their front wheels facing up. The bicycle rack includes an upper front wheel support having stationary front wheel holders and oppositely-aligned adjustable front wheel holders that can be moved relative to the stationary front wheel holders to vary the distance therebetween in order to support the front wheels of bicycles having different diameters. The bicycle rack also includes a lower rear wheel support that rotates simultaneously with the upper front wheel support between an unfolded deployed configuration extending outwardly from an upstanding main support bar and a collapsed compact configuration lying adjacent the upstanding main support bar.

  • Patent number: 9321407
    Abstract: A collapsible bicycle rack to be transported at the rear of a motor vehicle for carrying bicycles that are suspended vertically and upside down relative to one another. The bicycle rack includes a vertical main support bar. An upper front wheel support basket is pivotally coupled to the main support bar to receive and retain the front wheels of the bicycles. A lower rear wheel support arm is pivotally coupled to the main support bar below the upper front wheel support basket to receive the rear wheels of the bicycles. The upper front wheel support basket and the lower rear wheel support arm are simultaneously rotated from an expanded deployed configuration extending outwardly from the vertical main support bar to a compact folded configuration lying generally side-by-side the vertical main support bar.
