CYCLE ACCESSORY MOUNTING SYSTEM AND ATTACHMENT DEVICE
A system for mounting an accessory to a cycle has a mounting part 400, a receiving part 500, and a locking member 508. The mounting part 400 has an axially extending member 402 and at least one transversely projecting lug 406. The receiving part 500 has a recess for receiving the member 402 and the lug(s) 406 when the receiving part 500 is in a receiving/releasing position, and at least one lip 506 for engaging with the lug(s) 406 to retain the mounting part 400 when the receiving part 500 is angularly moved relative to the mounting part 400. The locking member 508 is operable between the mounting part 400 and the receiving part 500, and is moveable between an unlocked position and a securing position to selectively retain the receiving part 500 in a plurality of angularly offset locked positions relative to the mounting part 400.
LOCKING DEVICE FOR AN ANCHOR FOR CONNECTING AN ACCESSORY TO A VEHICLE
A locking device for an anchor configured to connect an accessory to a vehicle. An anchor lever is pivotable for opening and closing the anchor. The locking device includes a lock body defining a fastener aperture receiving therethrough an anchor fastener portion that is rotatable by moving the anchor lever between open and closed positions. A lock lever is pivotable relative to the locked body between locked and unlocked positions. In the unlocked position, the lock lever permits free movement of the anchor lever. In the locked position, the lock lever prevents the anchor lever from being moved from the closed position to the open position. A key post is movably connected to the lock body. The key post is movable by a key from an unsecured position to a secured position. The lock lever is fixed in the locked position when the key post is in the secured position.
CONFIGURABLE BICYCLE-MOUNTABLE CARRIER ASSEMBLY
A bicycle-mountable carrier assembly includes a mounting assembly attachable to a rail of the bicycle's saddle. At least one payload support is joined, e.g., pivotably, to the mounting assembly. The payload support defines a structure for mounting at least one payload carrier attachment in a secure but removable fashion. One or more payload supports may be provided, and one or more mounting structures may be provided on each payload support. The mounting structures may be provided in a rear-and side-facing positions and in different angular orientations, for carrying of payloads in a variety of different positions and orientations. The carrier further includes at least one payload carrier attachment defining a mounting structure complementary to the payload support's mounting structure. The payload carrier may be adapted to function as a fishing rod holder, a fishing rod case holder, a water bottle, a fishing tackle box, or another payload as desired.

Luggage container for fastening to a vehicle, in particular to a motorcycle
A luggage container for fastening to a vehicle, particularly to a motorcycle, including a first locking device which can adopt a release position in which the luggage container can be opened, and a locking position, in which an opening of the luggage container is locked. The luggage container has a second locking device which can adopt a locking position, in which an opening of the luggage container can be locked even if the first locking device is in its release position.
Body cladding for a motor vehicle, and motor vehicle
A body cladding for a motor vehicle, in particular for a single-track vehicle, is provided. The body cladding includes first and second cladding parts movable relative to one another, such that the second cladding part is arrangeable in at least first and second positions relative to the first cladding part. When the second cladding part is in an open state of the body cladding relative to the first cladding part, a storage space is formed between the first and second cladding parts. The body cladding may be provided with a latch for latching the second cladding part in at least one of the open state, a closed state and at least one intermediate state between the open and closed states. The invention further relates to a motor vehicle having such a body cladding.
BATTERY STORAGE DEVICE OF VEHICLE
A device includes a battery case (42) that stores a battery (62A or 62B), a lock mechanism (133) that is capable of fixing and holding the stored battery (62A or 62B) in the battery case (42), and an operation member (44) that is capable of performing switching operation of the lock mechanism (133) between a battery-fixed state and a non-battery-fixed state. The lock mechanism (133) includes a movable block (160) which is supported by the battery case (42) in a displaceable manner. The movable block (160) has a battery restriction portion (160b or 160c) which restricts displacement of the battery (62A or 62B) in a separation direction in a state of being displaced to a battery fixing position, and a holding force receiving portion (160d) which receives a holding force for maintaining the movable block (160) at the battery fixing position from the operation member (44) in a state where the operation member (44) is operated within a predetermined positional range.

Saddle bag mounting bracket with a latch
A saddle bag mounting bracket preferably includes a base plate, clamp lever, a latch lever, a pressure adjustment device, a first pin clamp and a second pin clamp. The clamp lever is slidably engaged with the base plate. The latch lever is pivotally retained on one end of the clamp lever and biased with an extension spring. The latch lever includes a finger release, such that clamp lever may be unlatched from a latch tab extending from the base plate. One end of the pressure adjustment device is adjustably connected to the second pin clamp and an opposing end is pivotally connected to the clamp lever. The first and second pin clamps lock the base plate into first and second pins extending from a motorcycle or the like, when the clamp lever is latched. A key lock is preferably used to prevent the clamp lever from being unlatched.
