Abstract
A slotted side rail and cross-rail receiving bracket for association with an article carrier, such as a luggage carrier, is disclosed. A slidable cross-rail is supported between a pair of cross-rail receiving brackets and is movable with the brackets. Each bracket includes a disc for locking the bracket anywhere along the length of an associated side rail. The disc prevents unintended loosening of the bracket and resultant movement of the bracket along the side rail.
