Abstract: A hitch-type equipment carrier for mounting to a vehicle includes a coupling member, a brace member fixed to the coupling member, and a wedge member that is movable relative to the coupling member. A manually operable actuator is positioned between the brace member and the wedge member. When the coupling member is positioned within the hitch receiver passage, operation of the actuator moves the wedge member in a first direction toward the open end of the hitch receiver passage. The wedge member moves outwardly upon advancement through the open end of the hitch receiver passage. Such transverse movement of the wedge member brings the wedge member into contact with one or more walls of the hitch receiver, which forces the coupling member against one or more of almost walls of the hitch receiver for preventing rattle of the coupling member within the passage of the hitch receiver.

Abstract: The invention relates to a carrier frame for a load in the form of a rucksack or equivalent comprising a hip frame which is more rigid in the vertical direction than in the horizontal direction and a pair of chest frames.
