To provide for vibration-resistant, self-centering, and universal attachment of an accessory such as a luggage carrier (3) or a kickstand (4) to essentially parallel or slightly divergent support struts (8, 12) of a cycle, such as a bicycle, moped, and the like, an attachment element is formed with a central portion (18) and two lateral flange or wing portions (19, 21), the central portion having a bore (24) extending therethrough. The flange portions (19, 21) are similar wedge-shaped elements with upper and lower surfaces diverging from outer end portions (33, 34) towards the central portion (18) to define, in cross section in a plane parallel to the axis of the aperture and transverse to the struts, triangular elements having bases (22, 23) adjacent the central portion, which bases may be extended into ribs if the wing or flange portions and the central portion are formed with hollows. The flange portions are elastically deformable in a direction parallel to the axis of the bore, which deformability is assisted by forming the flange or wing portions as hollow triangle-prismatic structures. Preferably, a groove is cut in the central portion, dimensioned to receive a hexagonal nut so that a bolt can be threaded into the element without requiring a holding wrench. The element can be made by being cut from a long aluminum profile rail, or by pressure casting.

In combination with a cycle (1) having spaced, essentially parallel or slightly diverging support struts (8, 12; 12a, 12b), a vibration-resistant, self-centering attachment element (13, 16) for attachment of an accessory, particularly of a luggage carrier (3) or a kickstand (4) to the cycle, wherein
In combination with a cycle (1) having spaced, essentially parallel or slightly diverging support struts (8, 12; 12a, 12b), a vibration-resistant, self-centering attachment element (13, 16) for attachment of an accessory, particularly of a luggage carrier (3) or a kickstand (4) to the cycle, wherein the accessory (3, 4) includes counter holding means forming a bearing surface (3a, 4a; 46) for engagement with the support struts, said attachment element (13, 16) having a cross piece formed with a central portion (18) and two lateral flange portions (19, 21) spanning the space between the spaced support struts, an aperture (24) formed in the central portion of the cross piece having an aperture axis extending perpendicularly to a theoretical plane connecting said flange portions and a clamping screw (17) passing through the aperture and into the counter holding means, and wherein, in accordance with the invention, the element is formed with facing end surfaces (26, 27) located in essentially parallel planes,which essentially parallel planes are parallel with respect to the axis of the aperture (24), the flange portions (15, 21) form similar wedge elements with upper and lower surfaces diverging from outer end portions (33, 34) of the wedge elements towards the central portion (18), which define, in cross section in a plane parallel to the axis of the aperture and transverse to the struts, triangles which have bases (22, 23) adjacent the central portion (18); the flange portions (19, 21) are elastically deformable in a direction parallel to the axis of the aperture (24); the similar wedge elements of the flange portions are formed with hollow spaces (35, 36) which, in cross section, correspond essentially to the cross section of the respective flange portion, and extend from one facing end surface (26) of the respective flange portion to the other facing end surface (27) thereof; and wherein the central portion (18) is formed with an essentially rectangular prismatic hollow space (25) extending from one facing end surface (26) to another facing end surface (27) of the attachment element.
