As described above, according to the present invention, the pinching member having the elastic portion that abuts the lower surface of the luggage carrier frame can move up and down so as to clamp the luggage carrier frame with the upper surface of the insertion hole. As a result, the tip of the screw member screwed to the support frame in the direction of moving the pinching member upward is brought into contact with the pinching member during screwing, so that an elastic portion is provided on the carrier frame. By abutting, damage to the luggage carrier frame can be avoided as much as possible, and the frictional force between the elastic portion and the luggage carrier frame can be increased to reliably maintain the fixed state of the luggage carrier frame to the support frame.
