A holder for a two-wheeler accessory comprises a fastening band having a first end and a second, loose end for wrapping around a tube section of a two wheeler; a securing element and a base body which has a support section for contacting the tube section of the two-wheeler, a holding device for the two-wheeler accessory or for an adapter-specific adapter piece, a leadthrough for at least the second end of the fastening band and a reception opening for the securing element oriented transversely to the leadthrough. The fastening band is in this respect displaceable along the leadthrough when it is led through the leadthrough. The securing element is furthermore movable into a securing position in which the securing element is located at least partly in the reception opening and the fastening band tensions the fastening band in the leadthrough by deflection and/or blocks it against a displacement.

A unified carrier cargo rack and storage system for a vehicle including a receiver unit installed in the rear of the vehicle and a modular carrier rack, including a transitional carrier bar, a secondary bar and a cargo carrier bar, wherein the cargo carrier bar is further operable to engage and immobilize cargo; are disclosed as are male and female securing mechanisms.

A gas can is configured to be secured to a rack of a motorcycle. The gas can have a generally flat profile so that the rack may still be used to transport luggage or other items even when the gas can is secured to it. The gas can may include a pair of opposing brackets that each have a J hook that can be secured underneath a bar of the rack. At least one of the brackets can include a sliding portion that can be slid to move the corresponding J hook thereby unlatching the J hook from the bar.

The present invention provides an item of luggage (1) having a receptacle (2) to receive items to be transported, a support (14) for the receptacle, a pair of wheels (5, 6) connected to the support (9) and a handle (3) connected to the support (14), with the support (9), receptacle (2), wheels (5, 6) and handle (3) being arranged such that the handle (3) may be used to push or pull the receptacle (2) along on the pair of wheels (5, 6) in the manner of a conventional flight bag. The item further comprises a footplate (11) pivotally attached to the support at one end and with a wheel at the other end. The (footplate 11) is pivotable between a folded position where it lies substantially adjacent the receptacle (2) and an extended position where the footplate (11) extends away from the receptacle (2), wherein, when the footplate (11) is in an extended position, the said pair of wheels (5, 6), the footplate (11) and the handle (3) form a scooter, The invention may, for example, be applied to a piece of carry-on luggage for an aircraft and may thus encourage a child to transport the item through the airport and make the experience more fun for that child.

Described herein is a new assembly of components which comprise a support arm on the side of a bicycle or similar mobility device. The structure is capable of carrying long thin items such as a long surfboard, or it can be used to secure a pet such as a dog to allow them to walk or run safely alongside a bicycle. The invention is designed to fit a wide range of devices, and is optimized for maximum ease of installation and quick release removal without any tools.

The present invention provides means of connecting a single or multiple bicycle panniers to a supporting surface. By providing a means of connecting to a support surface such as wall or office cubicle, embodiments of this invention increase accessibility to an otherwise stored pannier. Use of embodiments of this invention have the new and unexpected result of reducing damage to panniers caused by routine contact with surfaces such as the ground or floor. This reduction of damage results in longer weatherproof and high visibility characteristics of panniers. Some embodiments of this invention contain partial replications of a standard bicycle rack, thus providing a connection method equal in connection/disconnection ease as between the pannier and said bicycle rack. Some embodiments of this invention provide a barrier between the pannier and the supporting surface, preventing wear to the supporting surface from repeated connection and removal of the panniers.

An article carrier, removably mountable on an upright luggage carrying frame of a bicycle, comprises a rigid sheath having closed top and an open bottom receiving the rigid frame. The rigid sheath fits into a downwardly open pocket of a flexible article-carrying bag. A rigid panel for supporting the bag is hinged to the sheath adjacent the bottom opening, and can be rotated downward from a condition in which it is parallel to a front wall of the sheath to a horizontal condition, and is prevented by a stop from being rotated beyond the horizontal condition. The downwardly open pocket can be on the exterior of the bag or on the interior.
