Abstract
A seat pack assembly adapted to be supported underneath the seat of a bicycle and including a fabric pack, a wire mounting bracket carried by the pack and a tubular U-shaped mounting bracket adapted to be mounted beneath the bicycle seat. The pack bracket comprises an elongated resilient wire serpentinely configured to define a pair of parallel elongated forwardly extending finger portions at its opposite ends and an intermediate bight portion extending outwardly from the rearward ends of the finger portions and then forwardly to form a pack frame. To mount the wire bracket to the pack, the finger portions are grasped and squeezed together to reduce the maximum diameter of the bight portion and allow the bight portion to be inserted into the rear end of a pocket formed in the top of the pack, whereafter the finger portions may be released to allow the bight portion to expand and fill the pocket to provide an upper perimeter frame for the pack while the finger portions extend forwardly above the pack, outside of the pocket, for coaction with the U-shaped mounting bracket mounted beneath the bicycle seat.
