发明名称 Apparatus for fixing roof rack to vehicle roof
摘要 The present invention relates to an apparatus for fixing a roof rack to a vehicle roof. Particularly, the present invention relates to an apparatus for facilitating mounting and dismounting of a roof rack for loading various kinds of freight thereon by structurally improving a vehicle roof to employ a unified single roof molding. According to the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for fixing a roof rack to a vehicle roof of the type comprising a roof panel 100 in which roof molding engagement portions 110 are longitudinally formed to be depressed along both sides of the vehicle roof, and roof moldings 200 inserted into and engaged with the roof molding engagement portions 110 of the roof panel 100. Further, the apparatus of the present invention comprises engagement openings 210 formed to pass through the roof moldings, and movable covers 300 placed in the interiors of the roof moldings to allow the engagement openings 210 to be resiliently opened and closed. Therefore, since the unified single roof molding can be employed by structurally improving the vehicle roof, irrespective of whether or not the roof rack is used, the number of parts and the cost of production can be reduced and production processes can be simplified. Further, since the roof rack can be easily mounted to and dismounted from the roof modling, a user's convenience increases. Furthermore, since the interior of the roof molding cannot be seen when the roof rack has been dismounted from the roof molding, the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle roof can be enhanced.
