Abstract
Disclosed is a rack, or carrier, mountable to a vehicle and components for a rack. The rack in a preferred embodiment of the invention is a bike rack. In other preferred embodiments, the rack may be a utility rack for carrying other items, tools, or equipment. The rack includes a carrier portion on which one or more items can be loaded, a vehicle-coupling portion pivotably coupled to the carrier portion, the vehicle-coupling portion being couplable to a vehicle, and a linkage for connecting the carrier portion to the vehicle-coupling portion. The linkage is configured to bias the carrier portion to a substantially upright position relative to the vehicle-coupling portion when the vehicle-coupling portion is coupled to the vehicle, and to support the carrier portion relative to the vehicle-coupling portion when the carrier portion is in a lowered position and loaded with one or more items.
