Abstract: A securing device is disclosed for the attachment of an assembly, such as a pannier bag, to a structure, such as a bicycle frame. The device includes a clamping member formed by a supporting engagement member and a lever member that exerts clamping pressure in a direction toward the supporting engagement member. The supporting engagement member and the lever member are mounted on a stiff wall with the lever member including a lever arm that is pivotally mounted on the stiff wall so that a compressible bumper is brought into engagement with structure being clamped to establish the engaged position. An adjustable locking mechanism is also provided for engaging the lever arm to releasably lock in the engaged position.

Abstract: A bicycle pack, such as a pannier bag, adapted to be releasably secured between spaced, fixed positions on a bicycle, such as to a bicycle carrier, the pack including fasteners thereon for engagement with one of the bicycle attachment positions, and, at the spaced position on the pack, resilient members secured to the pack and adapted to engage the other of the mounting positions on the bicycle. The pack is constructed of pliable material and includes a pair of spaced rigid members positioned at the two attachment positions of the pack with each rigid member extending substantially transversely to the direction in which tension is induced by the resilient member when attached to the bicycle, whereby, the pack may be compactly compressed, and "stuffed" into another pack for transport apart from the bicycle, while still maintaining the ability to be attached to the bicycle and provide a wrinkle free, functionally rigid wall member of pliable material between the two spaced rigid members.

Abstract: An improved structure for attaching a handlebar pack to a wire support in which the wire support includes at least a member positioned adjacent the rear portion of the handlebar pack, the support attachment including spring clip members attached to the rear portion of the handlebar pack which distend to receive and positively locate the wire support at positions spaced more than one hundred eighty degrees around the support, the wire support preferably being a cantilevered support adapted to engage the gooseneck-handlebar intersection of a bicycle, and extending forward therefrom with substantially horizontal forked members adapted to engage pocket portions defined on either side of the pack, with the pocket portions preferably being closed at the sections thereof receiving the termini of the forked members.

Abstract: A bicycle handlebar pack and support frame in which the support includes a means to cantilever the pack engaging portion of the support from the gooseneck-handlebar intersection of a bicycle, the pack engaging portion preferably comprising normally substantially horizontal forked members adapted to engage pocket portions on either side of the pack, normally vertical members depending from the support, releasable engaging means on the pack to secure the pack to the support, and a resilient member extending from the support at a position below the gooseneck-handlebar engaging portion, and preferably from the depending members, to the bicycle frame to bias the support into a stable relationship with the bicycle without interfering with convenient removal of the pack from the support.

Abstract: A pannier bag having means for attachment to a bicycle carrier which means include fasteners on the pannier bag for engagement with the upper portion of a bicycle carrier and, at the lower portion of the pannier bag, resilient members secured to the pannier bag adjacent the side edges thereof and a hook or other fastening member intermediate the resilient members, whereby the normally horizontal resilient members may be distended downwardly to securely fasten to a complementary member on the bicycle, thereby securely tensioning the upper fastener and the lower fastening member, the pannier bags further, when utilized in pairs, being joinable as a single luggage structure and having an unobstructed inner pocket adjacent the attachment means.
