CAR TOP BOAT CARRIER

摘要

A car top boat loader including a pair of parallel spaced guide rails terminating at a stationary rest at one end of the rails. The rails are pivotally supported on the car top in such a manner that the stationary rest extends over either the hood or trunk of the car. A carriage for supporting the boat to be loaded is movable supported by the spaced guide rails and is free to move through the length of the guide rails. The boat may be easily loaded to a balanced position on the carriage by pivoting the guide rails into engagement with the hood or trunk of the car after which the boat may be sequentially rested on the carriage and moved away from the stationary rest and then pivoted on the stationary rest permitting the carriage to return to the stationary rest until the boat is balanced on the carriage. Thereafter, the boat and supporting carriage are moved up the guide rails to a point at which the guide rails pivot to a horizontal balanced position on the car top. A first locking pin is provided for maintaining the guide rails in a horizontal position and a second locking pin locks the carriage to the guide rails for transporting the boat.
