Retractable rack system for e.g. minivan, has lever acting on rail so that crossbars take retracted position in which crossbars contact with roof, and transport position in which crossbars are elevated relative to retracted position

摘要

The system (31) has two crossbars (34) integrated to two rails (33), and four feet, where each foot includes an articulation axle for articulating each foot relative to a vehicle and another articulation axle for articulating each foot with one of the rails. A lever includes an axle integrated to the vehicle, where the lever acts on the rail such that the crossbars take a retracted position in which the crossbars contact with a roof (32) of the vehicle, and a transport position in which the crossbars are elevated relative to the retracted position.
