US Patent 10953944 Saddle bag mounting bracket with a latch

A saddle bag mounting bracket preferably includes a base plate, clamp lever, a latch lever, a pressure adjustment device, a first pin clamp and a second pin clamp. The clamp lever is slidably engaged with the base plate. The latch lever is pivotally retained on one end of the clamp lever and biased with an extension spring. The latch lever includes a finger release, such that clamp lever may be unlatched from a latch tab extending from the base plate. One end of the pressure adjustment device is adjustably connected to the second pin clamp and an opposing end is pivotally connected to the clamp lever. The first and second pin clamps lock the base plate into first and second pins extending from a motorcycle or the like, when the clamp lever is latched. A key lock is preferably used to prevent the clamp lever from being unlatched.
