  • Carrier Support for Attaching to a Motor Vehicle
    Publication number: 20090115209
    Abstract: A carrier support arrangement that attaches to a vehicle between a rear bumper crash bar and mounting pads that are provided at the rear of the body of the vehicle. The carrier support is formed of a transverse support bar that has a modified C-channel beam construction, with attachment lands formed at end portions. The beam has cantilever bars affixed to it that project forward and sockets or ports that extend rearward. The structure of the support bar accommodates the crash absorber bar of the vehicle bumper frame, and achieves a weight savings over earlier construction.
