Further, alternatively in looking at FIGS. 8 to 15, for the detachable accessory carrier 145, wherein the third means 257 for slidable lockable engagement of the movable 310 extension beam 300 relative to the convex portion 175 of the arcuate frame 160 first end portion 165 or second end portion 170 is constructed of a slidable channel 305 that includes a lower channel guide 315 and an opposing upper channel guide 320 that straddle an intermediate body 325, wherein the lower 315 and upper 320 channel guides slidably engage 310 in a partially encompassing manner 385 the arcuate frame 160 respectively on a lower margin 363 and an upper margin 360 of the arcuate frame 160.
Continuing, alternatively in looking at FIGS. 8 to 15, for the detachable accessory carrier 145, wherein the slidable channel 305 further comprises an extension support 326 that is disposed on both the intermediate body 325 and the upper channel guide 320, wherein the extension 326 supports a pair of opposing eccentric elements defined as a first eccentric element 330 and a second eccentric element 335 that each respectively have an offset first pivot pin 340 and an offset second pivot pin 345 attachment 390 to the extension support 326, wherein the first 330 and second 335 eccentric elements have an offset rotational bias 370, 380 to form respectively a first 361 and second 362 interface contact to the upper margin 360 of the arcuate frame 160, wherein the first 361 and second 362 interface contacts help lock the opposing first 370 and second 380 movement of the slidable channel 305 and movable extension beam 300 relative to the convex portion 175 of the arcuate frame 160 first end portion 165 or second end portion 170.
Next, alternatively in looking at FIGS. 8 to 15, for the detachable accessory carrier 145, wherein the first 330 and second 335 eccentric elements respectively further comprise a first 350 and second 355 grasping element to manually initiate respectively a manual first 365 and second 375 freeing rotational movement of the first 330 and second 335 eccentric elements that results in opening the first 361 and second 362 interface contacts to allow the opposing first 311 and second 312 movement of the slidable channel 305 and movable extension beam 300 relative to relative to the convex portion 175 of the arcuate frame 160 first end portion 165 or second end portion 170, or alternatively only the manual first freeing rotational movement 365 can be manually initiated to allow only the first movement 311 and help lock the second movement 312 and conversely only the second freeing rotational movement 375 can be manually initiated to allow only the second movement 312 and help lock the first movement 311.
CONCLUSION
Accordingly, the present invention of a detachable accessory carrier has been described with some degree of particularity directed to the embodiments of the present invention. It should be appreciated, though; that the present invention is defined by the following claims construed in light of the prior art so modifications of the changes may be made to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention without departing from the inventive concepts contained therein.
