Abstract: The invention is directed to a wheel carrier which is adapted to be mounted exclusively to a cross tube of a receiver bracket assembly, which is typically attached to the underside of a motor vehicle and which is used to facilitate attachment of a trailer hitch in the form of a ball mount assembly. The simple manner in which the wheel carrier attaches to the receiver bracket assembly greatly decreases the necessary mounting time and avoids the necessity of drilling holes in the body and/or bumper. The wheel carrier has a carrier member, a wheel support member connected to the carrier member and adapted to support a motor vehicle wheel, and a mounting mechanism for mounting the carrier member exclusively to the cross tube of the receiver bracket assembly. The cross tube typically has a cross-sectional shape which is substantially square.

Abstract: A vehicle carrier and ramp assembly includes two, spaced-apart platforms maintained at an elevated position above the top edges of the side walls of a pickup truck body so as to preserve significant cargo space upon the truck bed. The platforms are supported at each of their respective ends by braces carried by the pickup truck side walls. Two elongated and collapsible ramps may be selectively engaged with the rear end of the platforms for loading and unloading a small land vehicle such as an ATV. A hinge, joining the ramp segments or spans together, has a stop feature for maintaining the spans at an obtuse angle relative to one another while extended during loading and unloading operations. When the pickup truck is moved from place to place, the ramps may be folded and secured above the side walls of the truck and above the elevated platforms, offering a peripheral and protective barrier to an ATV or other carried vehicle.

Abstract: A carrier rack device for delivering replacement windshields for automotive vehicles, panels of flat glass, or other types of panels outside of and to the rear of an automotive vehicle, such as a conventional pickup truck, is constructed to be cantilevered from attachment to the rear of the vehicle. In one form of the invention, the device attaches to the usual trailer hitch of the vehicle. In another form, the device attaches directly to the tailgate of a truck, usually a conventional pickup truck. In both forms, a pair of laterally spaced, elongate carrier parts extend from securement to the rear of the vehicle so as to extend longitudinally rearwardly for receiving therebetween the panels to be carried in-conventional receiving pockets. One form is more versatile than the other in its provision of separate carrier parts, each having mounting structure components that telescope in selectively different ways into attachment with other mounting structure to serve different purposes.

Abstract: A vehicle article carrier apparatus adapted for use with a cargo bed of a vehicle such as a pick-up truck. The apparatus generally comprises a pair of cross rails each having a length sufficient to span the width of the cargo bed and to be supported on upper surfaces of the sidewalls of the cargo bed. A securing mechanism includes a threaded bolt and a threaded nut which clampingly secures a bracket to an inner lip portion of the sidewall and an undersurface of the cross rail to thus secure the cross rail to the sidewalls of the cargo bed. When an optional lock member is locked in place via a key, a threaded nut housed therein cannot be loosened when the lock member is in a locked position, and therefore the cross rail cannot be moved from the cargo bed.

Abstract: A ride-ready bike carrier system has a support arm and handle assembly attached to a rear wheel holder via an extension arm, such that the handle assembly can engage a bike frame and wheel axle combination to further secure and stabilize a bike upon the system. The support arm and handle assembly, as well as the rear wheel holder, can be positioned such that the system can secure and stabilize bikes having wheels of differing size. Furthermore, since the handle assembly engages a portion of the bicycle which, for the most part, is consistent in size and design from one manufacturer to another, design incompatibilities are minimized.

Abstract: An oscillating beverage holder which includes a collar extension that attaches by friction adherence obtained by placing the collar extension around the tubular section of a golf bag pull cart. Then tightening of a bolt that passes through a hole on each side of the collar extension with a nut. A specially molded beverage holder consisting of two cylinder type cavities, a divider and an extension wall all molded as one. The cylinder cavities are designed to keep the beverages at a more constant temperature. The cavities are also large enough to allow the beverage containers to be covered with an insulation type wrap before being placed in the beverage cavities which would keep the beverages cooler/warmer even longer. The extension wall protrudes from the divider and is carried within the extension collar.
