20100006612 | FASTENING DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE LOAD CARRIER - Fastening method and device for detachably fixing a load carrier to a vehicle that includes a bracket configured to be affixed to a roof of the vehicle. The bracket has at least one elongate recess or hole for detachably clamping a load carrier foot. The load carrier foot includes an axially movable hooked member or bolt with a hooked portion having an elongated shape, which is configured to be moved through the elongated recess. The hooked member is twistable in the recess to axially lock the hooked member against the bracket. The elongate recess or hole may have longitudinally elongate or arched longitudinal edges, and corresponding ledge surfaces, whereby the hooked portion of the hooked member, for example a head of the bolt, may longitudinally slide along the longitudinally elongate or arched ledge surfaces and tilt forward in the event of a sudden slowing or stopping of the vehicle, for instance, in a crash. The sliding motion is facilitated by an engagement surface of the hooked portion that is width-wise more narrow than the ledge surface is long. | 01-14-2010 |

20160039352 | DOOR-FRAME HOOK FOR SECURING VEHICLE ROOF-TOP LOADS - There is disclosed a door-frame hook, for enabling a load strap, attached to a vehicle rooftop load carrier, to engage a door frame of the vehicle to secure the load carrier when the load strap is tightened. The hook may be anchored onto a frame ridge of the door frame and in part, covered by a sealer attached to the door frame. The door-frame hook of the invention may, advantageously, remain in position, between the frame-ridge of the door frame and the sealer potter, regardless of the degree of tightness of the load strap or the degree of its pull on the hook, as well as when the load strap is unattached. Moreover, it does not harm the door sealer nor does it interfere in any way with its sealing function or with the shutting action of the door. | 02-11-2016 |

The basket can be assembled by multiple sub-top portions and sub-bottom portions. | 11-06-2008 |
20080308590 | VEHICLE ARTICLE CARRIER HAVING SINGLE SIDED RELEASABLE AND STOWABLE CROSS BARS - A vehicle article carrier adapted to be mounted to an outer body surface of a motor vehicle. The carrier has a pair of cross bars that can each be stowed on corresponding pairs of support elements when the cross are not needed for use without the need to completely detach either of the cross bars from their associated support elements. A rear one of the cross bars has a single sided release feature that enables both end supports at opposite ends of the rear cross bar to be simultaneously unlocked or locked from a rear pair of support elements from either end support. The rear cross bar can also be slidably positioned along the rear pair of support elements to better configure the cross bars to support variously sized articles thereon. | 12-18-2008 |
20090314815 | REMOVABLE STOWABLE LUGGAGE RACK - An article carrier for attachment to a vehicle includes a first side rail an a second side rail to be located extending generally parallel to one another and spaced laterally from one another with respect to a longitudinal centerline of the vehicle. A first cross-rail and a second cross-rail are independently movable between a stowed position and a deployed position, wherein the stowed position of the first and second cross-rails are axially aligned with a corresponding side rail, and the deployed position of the first and second cross-rail are laterally extending between the first and second side rails. The cross rails can be gas assist, injection molded cross rails. A manually hand/finger rotated fastener attaches each end of the first and second cross-rails to the first and second side rails in the stowed position and the deployed position. | 12-24-2009 |
224331000 | Attaching means is an individually acting clamp | 7 |
20080203125 | Load Carrier for Fixed Roof Rail - A load carrier that includes a load carrier bar with a load carrier foot at each end of the load carrier bar. Each load carrier foot has a fixed clamping jaw and a movable clamping jaw configured to be arranged on an upper side and an opposite lower side of the respective roof rails and to cooperate with a clamping device that is configured to move the movable clamping jaw towards the fixed clamping jaw. The movable clamping jaw is pivotally connected at the load carrier foot and in a first mounting position. The movable clamping jaw is firmly connected to at least one guiding protrusion, located on a distance from the movable clamping jaw and in a first mounting position is arranged so that the distance between the guiding protrusions, which are located at each end of the load carrier, is larger than the distance between the roof rails. | 08-28-2008 |
20080314944 | ASSEMBLY FOR FIXING AND CONNECTING LIGHT BAR LAMP - An assembly for fixing and connecting a polygonal LED light bar lamp includes a fixing seat, a covering plug, and an electrical connector. The fixing seat has a bottom with both edges thereof extending to form two bevels and parallel plates. The bottom and bevels have a penetrating hole, respectively. The covering plug has a cover having an insertion hole. Two electrode pins are disposed in the interior of the insertion hole. The electrical connector has a partitioning block. Both sides of the partitioning block have a protruding pillar, respectively. The protruding pillar is provided with a hollow pillar having electrodes for contacting with electrode pins. With the fixing seat being fixed on a carrier, the light bar can be held in the fixing seat with adjustable irradiating direction. Further, two light bars can be connected in series by the electrical connector. | 12-25-2008 |
20130043288 | LEG ASSEMBLY - A leg assembly is described that links a roof rack bar to a vehicle roof. The leg assembly utilises a T-bar member linked to a rocker member and via a biasing arrangement, the T-bar flanges impinge with the bar flanges to lock the leg assembly in place or optionally move the leg assembly along the bar length by forcing the T-bar member flanges up from the bar flanges until the desired position is reached before release and re-locking. | 02-21-2013 |
20140191004 | UNIVERSAL GUNWALE BRACKET - An apparatus for carrying a boat is disclosed. In some examples, the apparatus may include a crossbar, a pair of towers for coupling the crossbar to a vehicle, a gunwale support device configured to support a gunwale of the boat, and a clamp device coupled to the gunwale support device configured to selectively grip crossbars of various sizes and shapes. The gunwale support device may include a bench having a seat (or seat surface), a back (or back wall surface), and a top surface on which the gunwale and/or other portion of the boat may be supported. The seat, back wall, and/or top surfaces may be convexly curved, tapered, angled, and/or have a progressive curvature corresponding to a curved portion of a cone, which may compensate for misalignment between the gunwale and the bench. The clamp device may include an actuator located above the crossbar for manipulating the clamp device between open and clamped positions. The back may define a plane substantially perpendicular to a core axis of the crossbar, and a portion of the bench and the actuator may be on opposite sides of the plane. | 07-10-2014 |
