Abstract:
A bicycle carrier fastening bracket comprising: a main fastening body having a base, a leg extending from said base, and a tube supported by said leg and defining a tube hole, a fast releasing assembly comprising a threaded rod disposed for axial movement within said tube hole, said threaded rod having a threaded end engaged with a fast releasing nut and a head end and associated head end washer, opposite said threaded end, and a handle capable of eccentric motion for fastening said fast releasing assembly, and an arresting washer received on said threaded rod and along a predetermined axial length of said tube; said leg, adjacent to said head end of said threaded rod, defining a round hole, said handle comprising a grip and fastened with an eccentric body disposed at a predetermined inclination, said grip defining a locking hole corresponding in diameter to said round hole, said eccentric body of said handle controlling a distance between each of said head end washer on said threaded rod and said nut and its respective opposite end of said main fastening body, each said distance adapted to be shortened to clamp a bicycle front fork when said handle is rotated such that said grip is rested against said leg, and such that said locking hole of said grip is corresponding in location to said round hole of said main fastening body, thereby to facilitate installation of a lock and to confine displacement of said grip, and said arresting washer impeding movement of said threaded rod when said arresting washer is in a normal state with the bicycle front fork unfastened, thereby restricting said threaded rod from sliding in said tube hole and maintaining each said distance to enable the bicycle front fork to be fastened.
