To permit horizontal alignment of a baggage or luggage carrier frame (11) in which the luggage carrier is supported by at least two support legs (16, 17) extending from side elements (12, 13) of the frame and converging to a holder (18) attached to the bicycle frame adjacent an axle receiving portio

To permit horizontal alignment of a baggage or luggage carrier frame (11) in which the luggage carrier is supported by at least two support legs (16, 17) extending from side elements (12, 13) of the frame and converging to a holder (18) attached to the bicycle frame adjacent an axle receiving portion (6) thereof, the legs are coupled to the longitudinal elements (12, 13) of the frame by releasable attachment elements (37, 52, 56, 61), which permit sliding of the support legs along the longitudinal side elements so that the support legs can be located along the side legs at arbitrarily selected positions and thus permit horizontal alignment of the baggage carrier with bicycles having attachment points for the baggage carriers at various selected locations and/or being designed, respectively, for wheels of various diameters. The longitudinal alignment, preferably, is effected by having a slider element, such as a headed screw, a slider block or the like clamped in a groove extending parallel to the frame and formed on the frame or cross elements forming part thereof.

Bicycle baggage or luggage carrier (9) adapted for attachment to a portion (8) of a frame of a bicycle said carrier having an elongated carrier frame (11, 25, 26) defining a baggage support surface, said carrier frame including longitudinal side portions (12, 13, 28) extending approximately parallel

Bicycle baggage or luggage carrier (9) adapted for attachment to a portion (8) of a frame of a bicycle said carrier having an elongated carrier frame (11, 25, 26) defining a baggage support surface, said carrier frame including longitudinal side portions (12, 13, 28) extending approximately parallel to a longitudinal axis of said bicycle; attachment means (14, 15) for attaching one end portion of said carrier frame (9) to said bicycle frame; at least two support legs (16, 17) extending downwardly from each of said said elements (12, 13) and converging to define a V-configuration, said support legs, each having upper ends and terminating in a free lower end, said free lower ends being adapted to be secured to said bicycle frame adjacent an axle receiving portion (6) thereof; and means for securely attaching said upper ends of the support legs (16, 17) to the carrier frame (9) with said support surface in essentially horizontally aligned position, independently of the geometrical configuration of the bicycle frame and spaced from said attachment means, comprising at least one groove (29, 29′) formed in each of said side portions (12, 13, 28) extending longitudinally at least over a predetermined adjustment length of the respective side portion, and parallel to the longitudinal extent of said side portions, wherein said at least one groove (29, 29′) terminate in an open slit (34, 34′, 34″) having a cross-sectional dimension less than the width of said groove to define groove edges projecting toward each other, whereby said at least one groove will be an undercut groove; and releasable clamping means (37, 38, 41, 43; 52, 54; 68, 71, 72) including slidable means (38, 39; 52, 68, 71) formed with an enlarged head located in said undercut groove and engaged by said projecting groove edges, said enlarged head and said undercut groove forming interengaging projection and recess means; and means (41, 43; 54; 66, 69) for coupling said slidable clamping means to said upper ends of the support legs and hence at any selected longitudinal position to said longitudinal side portions of said carrier frame, for selectively and securely connecting said upper ends of said support legs at any selected position within said adjustment lengths of said at least one undercut groove.
