Abstract
An improved, convertible ski carrier in which a retainer for the skis is utilized is disclosed. The retainer includes a shelf for ski poles and is hingeably mounted to the carrier. The carrier itself is provided with a transverse opening to enable more versatility in the mounting of the carrier on a vehicle. An additional shank has been added to a locking mechanism to improve stability and anti-theft properties and an auxiliary locking mechanism including a bracket plate similar to the bracket plate intended for use with a vehicle has been added. The bracket, e.g. the assembly intended to be affixed to a vehicle, has been modified to utilize only a single vertical plate from which two bracket plates extend at right angles in opposite directions from each other.
