Abstract
A vehicle carrier system for a bicycle having a single suction vacuum cup that mounts to a smooth surface on a vehicle by means of a single suction vacuum cup configured to secure the front forks of a bicycle to the device and a back carrier system having a single suction vacuum cup that mounts to a smooth surface on a vehicle configured to secure the back wheel of the bicycle. And a tether that is tightened around the frame of the bicycle and secured inside the vehicle for security from theft and for safety purposes in case the suction vacuum cup loses vacuum or suction.
Claims14
A bicycle carrier system for an automobile consisting essentially of:
- a front vacuum device;
- a rear vacuum device, each of the front and rear vacuum devices having a circular rubberized suction cup and a pump button actuator that, when depressed in succession, causes a suction to form between the vacuum device and a surface of the automobile;
- and,
- a first frame attached to the circular rubberized suction cup of the front vacuum device;
- and
- a second frame attached to the circular rubberized suction cup of the rear vacuum device.
(canceled)
A bicycle carrier system for a vehicle comprising:
- a bicycle fork spacer configured to receive a fork of a bicycle frame, the bicycle fork spacer including a tubular channel that extends a length of the bicycle fork spacer;
- a tensioner pin that extends in the tubular channel;
- a tensioner nut moveably coupled to a first end of the tensioner pin;
- a tensioner lever moveably coupled to a second end of the tensioner pin, wherein the tensioner lever is movable to releasably couple the fork to the bicycle fork spacer;
- a first bracket at the first end of the tensioner pin;
- a second bracket at the second end of the tensioner pin;
- a circular mounting frame having the first bracket located proximate to a perimeter of the circular mounting frame and having the second bracket located proximate to the perimeter of the circular mounting frame opposite the first bracket;
- and
- a vacuum device coupled to the circular mounting frame, the vacuum device configured to releasably couple to a first location on a surface of the vehicle.
A recreational article carrier system for a vehicle, the system comprising:
- a first vacuum device configured to releasably couple to a first location on a surface of a vehicle;
- a first mounting frame coupled to the first vacuum device and being the only vacuum device fastened to the first mounting frame, wherein the first mounting frame is configured to releasably couple to a first portion of a reactional article;
- a second vacuum device configured to configured to releasably couple to a second location on the surface of the vehicle;
- and
- a second mounting frame coupled to the second vacuum device and being the only vacuum device fastened to the second mounting frame, wherein the second mounting frame is configured to releasably couple to a second portion of a reactional article and the system is free of a rigid member that extends between the first and second vacuum devices outside the recreational article itself.
