Hitch mounted accessory holder

摘要

A holder securely holds a canopy shade system for providing protection from sun or rain for a worker or during recreation. The holder is attached to a vehicle's trailer hitch via a receiver tube. A cross arm passes through the receiver tuber and is positionable between a squared position with respect to the receiver tube and an angled position. Telescoping extension arms extend outwardly from each end of the cross arm with a leg located on the distal end of each extension arm, each leg capable of holding an implement such as the canopy shade system.

1. A mounting system secured to a square hitch receiver attached to a vehicle, the mounting system comprising:
a receiver tube having a first end and a second end, a top and a bottom joined by a first side and an opposing second side, the receiver tube also having a first opening with a first edge and a second edge disposed on the first side and a second opening with a third edge and a fourth edge disposed on the second side such that the first edge and the third edge are disposed equidistant to the first end of the receiver tube while the fourth edge is located relatively closer to the second end of the receiver tube compared to location of the second edge, either the first end or the second end of the receiver tube adapted to be removably received within the hitch receiver such that either the bottom or the top of the receiver tube faces toward a ground level; and a generally rectangular shaped tubular cross arm having a third end and an opposing fourth end and a third side and an opposing fourth side, the cross arm passing horizontally through the first opening and the second opening of the receiver tube and pivotally secured to the receiver tube such that the cross arm is rotatable between a first position wherein the third side of the cross arm abuts the first edge of the first opening and the third edge of the second opening and a second position wherein the third side of the cross arm abuts the first edge of the first opening and the fourth side of the cross arm abuts the fourth edge of the second opening.
