Abstract
A pannier adapted to be mounted on the rear carrier rack of cycle vehicles includes a rectangular bag mounted on a flat, rigid frame and a U-shaped bar pivotally mounted on the frame and within the bag to permit collapsing of the bag. The pannier is mounted on the rack by an elongated rod extending across the upper edge of the frame and adapted to be slidably received within a channel section of the rack. A pair of snaps carried by a pannier flap secure and position the pannier, fore and aft, against shifting movement with respect to the channel section. The lower end of the pannier is secured by means of a webbing loop mating with a wire form which is bolted to a portion of the carrier rack support and which has a rear-projecting section. The rear-projecting section slides into the webbing loop simultaneously with movement of the rod element into the channel section.
