发明名称 FASTENING DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE LOAD CARRIER
摘要 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.
