Luggage case and vehicle rack therefor

摘要

A luggage case has one or more grooves in its sidewall. First and second mutually spaced mounting apparatus are affixed to the same sidewall. A vehicle mounted rack includes parts of such geometry and dimensions as to enable fitting receipt within the luggage case groove. First retention apparatus has an open groove within which the first luggage case mounting apparatus is slidingly received. Second retention apparatus is located spaced from the first and has a spring-loaded member for resiliently receiving the luggage case second mounting apparatus. The spacing and location of the various parts on the case and rack are such as to enable them to be simultaneously cooperatively engaged. In this manner, the luggage case is secured to the rack and preventing its movement in any direction. A key operated lock insures against theft of the case from the rack.
