Patent ID: 8708634

Claim:
A carrier assembly mounted on the rear of a primary vehicle for both loading and carrying a secondary vehicle in a transverse position with respect to the primary vehicle comprising, a bed for supporting the secondary vehicle, mounted transversely to the length of the primary vehicle, a first beam and a second beam attached to the primary vehicle for supporting said bed, said bed having a first support and a second support, said first support having a non-deployed position and a deployed position, said second support further having a non-deployed position and a deployed position, said first support pivotally attached to said first beam to pivot from said non-deployed position upwardly to said first support deployed position, said second support slideably mounted on top of said first support to slide downwardly from said second support non-deployed position to said second support deployed position which is in close proximity to the secondary vehicle in order for the secondary vehicle to move onto said second support, whereby when the secondary vehicle is on said second support, said second support slideably returns to said second support non-deployed position carrying the secondary vehicle thereon, and said first support pivotally returns to said first non-deployed position, allowing said secondary vehicle to be transported in a transverse position with respect to said primary vehicle, wherein said first support includes two parallel rails, said two parallel rails including at least one stabilizing bar intermediate and perpendicular to said two parallel rails, a first movable actuator and a second movable actuator affixed first to a subassembly below said first support, and affixed second to each one of said parallel rails, whereby when said first movable actuator and said second movable actuator are actuated, said first support moves from a horizontal said non-deployed position upwardly to an angular said first support said deployed position.
