In a multipurpose object holder for skis, surfboards or the like an elastic device including a horizontal plate and two curved lateral tongues is inserted in a vertical guide fastened to a base. The radius of curvature of one tongue is greater than that of the other tongue, allowing for the definition of lateral transport compartments of different thickness. A further elastic tongue is attached to a mobile clamp. The objects to be transported can also be placed between the plate and the further elastic tongue. In a second version of the object holder the elastic device is fastened to a mobile clamp and has an X-shape cross-section that includes two V-shape lateral reinforcing members such that two ranges of pressure forces are defined.

The baggage-holder of the invention includes a frame which has lateral bars made from bent extruded U-section and transverse bars made from hollow tubes. The U-section has a longitudinal slot. Support members are provided which are separate from the members for attachment to the bodywork. The various members and the hollow tubes include immobilizing devices sliding in the slot. This enables fixing of the support members and fixing members anywhere along the lateral parts. The ends of the U-section slide inside the hollow tubes enabling adjustment of the width of the frame. The baggage-holder can also include a hoop mobile about a transverse axis.
