  • Patent number: 4089448
    Abstract: A rack for mounting on the rear deck of an automobile for carrying lightweight recreational vehicles, namely bicycles or skis. The rack is characterized by a frame pivoted in a pair of brackets clamped to the vehicle bumper, the frame being movable from an upright loading position to a lowered traveling position. The rack when used for carrying bicycles incorporates the lowered wind resistance of trunk mounted racks with the ease of loading of bumper mounted racks while avoiding the disadvantages of these types of carrier.
