Abstract: A hinged carrier assembly for carrying and storing articles at the rear end of a sport equipment trailer, and capable of swinging outward and away to allow access to the rear cargo area. The hinged carrier assembly has an elongated receptacle which is secured to one corner at the rear end of the sport equipment trailer by a hinge assembly. The hinge assembly is directly secured to a hollow frame member at the corner using a supporting backing plate inserted inside the hollow frame member. The elongated receptacle can swing outward to a maximum angle which can be adjusted by an adjustable stopper assembly. The elongated receptacle is additionally supported by a suspension line which links the remote end of the elongated receptacle to an elevated point above the hinge assembly. An upper end of the suspension-line is secured to a swivel assembly which allows the suspension-line to pivot smoothly together with the elongated receptacle as it is swung open and closed.
