  • Patent number: 5857230
    Abstract: A combination motorcycle hammock and jack which, when used as a hammock, includes a cargo carrier rack support structure preferably attached to the cargo carrier rack of a motorcycle, an outwardly extending motorcycle hammock extension arm, a vertical support member and a lightweight flexible fabric material stretched from the outwardly extending motorcycle hammock extension arm to, for example, opposing handlebars of the motorcycle. Alternatively, the cargo carrier rack support structure could be placed underneath the motorcycle frame and the motorcycle hammock extension arm could be pivoted downwardly about a fulcrum to act as a lever and cause the motorcycle cargo carrier rack support structure to lift and support at least a portion of the motorcycle to permit, for example, repair and/or replacement of a flat tire.
