Patent ID: 7669905

Claim:
A carrier device for suspending a vehicle rear suspension assembly, comprising: a first member having a body portion with an elongate support leg extending therefrom; a second member having a body portion with an elongate support leg extending therefrom, said second member and said first member rotatably coupled near said body portions thereof so as to produce a scissoring movement of said support legs upon rotation; a projection extending outwardly from each of said support legs; a connecting element on/in a body portion of at least one of said members for coupling said device to a suspension element; and a handle extending from each of said first and second member; wherein squeezing said handles results in an inward rotation of said support legs and associated projections, thereby facilitating passage of said projections through an opening in said vehicle rear suspension assembly; and wherein, said support legs are outwardly rotatable in order to subsequently engage a contacting surface of each projection with a portion of said vehicle rear suspension assembly structure adjacent to an opposite side of said opening.
