发明名称 Guided securement arrangement in a load carrier
摘要 An arrangement in a load carrier for securing a load carrier cross bar to a transporting vehicle including a top portion of a load carrier foot adapted to releasably engage a load carrier cross bar. The load carrier cross bar has an elongate slot through a lower surface thereof. The elongate slot provides access to an interior space of the load carrier cross bar. An upper surface of the top portion of the load carrier foot is configured to abuttingly engage the lower surface of the load carrier cross bar. An insertible member is provided for interconnecting the load carrier cross bar to the load carrier foot. The insertible member has a neck portion and an expanded portion. The neck portion is configured to extend through the elongate slot and the expanded portion is configured to reside in the interior space of the load carrier cross bar in an assembled configuration. The expanded portion of the insertible member has a pressing surface configured to abuttingly engage an interior receiving surface of the load carrier cross bar so that a downward bias is exerted by the expanded portion and urges the load carrier cross bar into abutting engagement with the load carrier foot. The insertible member has a guide projection and the top portion of the load carrier foot has an inclined guide track configured to receive the guide projection therein for reciprocating movement of the guide projection in the guide track. An operating assembly reciprocates the guide projection in the guide track thereby causing movement of the insertible member toward the load carrier foot.
