Roof rack, has load support bar feet locked into position by shafts coupled together by torque transfer cable or band

摘要

The locking mechanism for the support bar feet (4, 5), which is used to fix the roof rack into position on the roof (2) comprises a rotatable manoeuvering shaft (16) and these shafts are coupled together via a torque transfer mechanism (35), so that the configuration for the locking mechanism for one foot is adopted by the locking mechanism for the other foot. The torque transfer mechanism comprises a cable or band that forms a closed loop extending around all the shafts.
