Abstract: The present invention relates to a fixing apparatus for quickly and simply fixing a carrier for vehicles to a vehicle, the fixing apparatus including: a female coupler which is installed in the vicinity of a rotating wheel at an end portion of an article mount; and a male coupler which is fixed to a roof of the vehicle and detachably coupled to the female coupler, in which when a trunk of the vehicle is opened in a state in which the carrier is installed, the article mount moves forward toward a front side of the vehicle, the female coupler is separated from the male coupler, and the rotating wheel rolls along a roof of the vehicle, and when the trunk is closed, the article mount moves rearward, and the female coupler engages with the male coupler, such that the carrier is fixed to the vehicle.

Abstract: A method for mounting a bicycle to a bicycle rack on an exposed roll can include: providing the bicycle rack comprising: a crossbar having an elongate longitudinal length section with laterally curved end sections extending from each side of the longitudinal length, the crossbar having a top side that includes one or more bicycle receivers and having a length sufficient to extend across the roll cage; and a mounting bracket on an end of each laterally curved end section, the mounting brackets each being planar and having an aperture extending through the bracket from a top surface to an opposite bottom surface, the mounting brackets each having bottom surface received on the roll cage with fastener extending through each aperture and a vertical hole in the longitudinal bars such that the crossbar is elevated off the longitudinal bars.

Abstract: A transporting dolly attachable to a vehicle includes a metal frame having a base with a top surface and a bottom surface mounted on opposed peripheral side brackets, a peripheral front bracket and a peripheral rear bracket. A center support member and outer support members are secured to the bottom surface of the base. The center support member is integrally formed as a hitch connector to engage with a conventional trailer hitch receiver. The top surface of the base provides an area to carry cargo. Swivel jacks are mounted on the frame to allow the frame to be raised and lowered, and additionally provide means to move the dolly with an attached demountable handle.

Abstract: A piggyback carrier designed for the safe and economical transporting of a container piggybacked to the back or front of a vehicle. Specifically, the piggyback is designed to be attached to the container and to support the container during transportation. The piggyback carrier can be adjusted and may be fitted to most vehicles having conventional type hitches. A left and a right jack is removably attached to each side of the frame of the carrier to enable one man to jack up a heavy cargo, roll it to the vehicle and mount the frame to the hitch on the vehicle.

Abstract: A support assembly, which is mounted on a vehicle for carrying bicycles thereon, comprises a first frame member, a second frame member, two retractable tube sets, four front wheel seats and four rear wheel seats. The retractable tube sets pivot their ends on said first frame member and said second frame member respectively such that angles between said first frame member, said second frame member and said retractable tube sets and a distance between said first frame member and said second frame member can be adjusted to make the support assembly of the present invention can be mounted on any type of vehicle. The front wheel seats and the rear wheel seats are provided at the first frame member and said second frame member respectively to put and secure the bicycles' wheels thereon. The front wheel seats are rotatable so that the front wheels of the bicycles secured on the front wheel seats can be turned to shorten the lengths of the bicycles.

Abstract: A bicycle carrier adapted to be secured to an article carrier portion of an existing vehicle article carrier so as to carry the bicycle supported thereon in a vertical orientation over a liftgate of a vehicle, and normal to an outer surface of the liftgate. The bicycle carrier includes a wheel supporting member for engaging one wheel of a bicycle when the bicycle is placed in a vertical orientation. A frame supporting assembly engages a portion of the frame to hold the bicycle to the bicycle carrier. The bicycle carrier permits a single individual to load and unload a bicycle from the bicycle carrier without being required to lift the bicycle up onto the roof of a vehicle. Since the bicycle is supported at an angle generally normal to the liftgate, visibility through the rear window of the liftgate is also improved when a bicycle is being supported on the bicycle carrier.

Abstract: A bicycle carrying frame includes a first part having a first bar and a neck link extending transversely and inclinedly from the mediated portion of the bar which is connected to the trunk lid by strips. A second part has a second bar and a connecting link intersectionally connected to the second bar. The first end of the connecting link is connected to the neck link and the second bar contacts against the rear bumper of the vehicle. A third part is connected to the second end of the connecting link and has two rings connected to two ends thereof so that the bicycle wheels are respectively supported by the two rings.

Abstract: A carrier for transporting bicycles on the front of a motor vehicle allowing unrestricted access to vehicle trunk, rear cargo area, and top luggage rack. Carrier frame has a horizontal crossmember (10) and two vertical uprights (12). Two removable bicycle support arm assemblies (14) with safety tips extend forward from the crossmember (10). A protector sleeve (22) as part of arm assembly (14) protects bicycle finish at point of contact. An adaptable system comprised of elastic cord assemblies (42) and eyebolts (14, 16, & 18) secures bicycles to the carrier. Carrier mounts to vehicle at top surface of grill and front surface of bumper--four points, mirror image. Custom-designed mounting kits accommodate carrier to a multitude of vehicle makes and models while maintaining a low forward profile for Carrier and bicycle. Eyebolts (14, 16, and 18) serve as structural members, a system component for securing bicycles, attaching hardware, and a safety feature.

Abstract: A vehicle mounted cart is provided including a vehicle, a frame, a handle support pivotally mounted to the frame, and a pair of wheel assemblies coupled to the frame, whereby the frame is removably coupled to the vehicle wherein the handle support acts as a support when the frame is coupled to the vehicle and a handle when the frame is removed from the vehicle and utilized as a cart.

Abstract: A cargo carrier for a vehicle is presented that is a removable multi-mount device. The device includes a first cargo carrier apparatus having an end that is removably connected to one side of the rear exterior of the vehicle and a second cargo carrier apparatus that also has an end that is removably connected to the opposite side of the rear exterior of the vehicle. The first and second cargo apparatus can be connected to one another so that they continuously extend across the rear exterior of the vehicle.

Abstract: An equipment carrier assembly for mounting to a snowplow mounting bracket includes at least one and preferably a pair of carrier stands each including a lower platform for supporting equipment thereon and an upright mast mounted to and extending upwardly from the lower platform for attaching equipment thereto, a lower shaft latching mechanism attached on and extending between the lower platforms of the carrier stands for mounting the carrier stand to the snowplow mounting bracket, and upper slide locking mechanisms on the upright masts of the carrier stands for securing the carrier stands to the snowplow mounting bracket. The carrier stands of the assembly may be intercoupled to one another by components attached to and extending respectively between the lower platforms and upper masts of the carrier stands.
