Abstract: A vertical back plate member is provided for mounting to a bumper. A pair of parallel side members extend from the back plate. A partition member joins the side members and forms a socket area with the back plate and side members to receive and position a bumper rack member in a vertical position. A strut member joins the side members near front edges of the side members and is positioned below a bottom edge of the partition member such a distance so as to permit a bumper rack member to be inserted between the bottom edge of the partition member and the strut member. Each side member has aligned first holes between the bottom edge of the partition member and the strut member to receive a pin which passes through a rack member to prevent horizontal movement of the rack member and to serve as a pivot point for movement of the rack member from a horizontal position to a vertical position.

Abstract: A vehicle is provided which has improved luggage and rack assembly. Upon a flat surface of the vehicle, such as a trunk lid or roof, is mounted a luggage retainer sub assembly. The sub assembly includes a spaced parallel pair of substantially horizontal rails secured to and running across the upper surface of the vehicle top or trunk lid, and a first end plate disposed between and hinged to one end of the pair of rails and movable between a collapsed storage position between the rails and an operative about vertical luggage support position. The sub assembly also includes a second end plate hinged to the opposite end of the rails, comprising two hinged sections and movable between a collapsed position between the rails and an operative position in which one section is above vertical and the other section is parallel to and above the rails. Thus, a luggage space is defined into which male inserts from the two plates project.

Abstract: Brackets are provided for mounting a tool box over the wheel of a trailer in place of the fender. The brackets are intended to be attached to the fender support mounts, or to any bracket secured to the frame of the trailer.
