Load carrier for mounting on the rear of a vehicle

摘要

The invention relates to a load carrier (1) for mounting on a vehicle and having a coupling device (2), a base part (7) connected with the coupling device (2) and a carrier frame (15) being connected with the base part (7) and movable relative to the base part (7) between an upper transporting and a lower loading position, wherein the coupling device (2) and the base part (7) are connected by a pivoting bearing (6) allowing movement from an untilted position to a tilted position of the base part (7), the pivoting bearing (6) comprising a blocking mechanism having a blocking element (35), which is actuatable by an actuating element (25), the actuating element (25) and the blocking element (35) are disposed and formed so that the actuating element (25) can act upon the blocking element (35) for unblocking the pivoting bearing (6).
