PCT No. PCT/SE93/00361 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 20, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 20, 1994 PCT Filed Apr. 26, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/00315 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 6, 1994The invention concerns a load-carrier for vehicles of the kind comprising a load-carrying tubular rail extending across the vehicle roof in the transverse direction of the vehicle, and a foot member at each lateral edge of the vehicle roof, said foot member resting on the upper vehicle roof face and serving as a load-carrying rail support. The purpose of the invention is to provide a load-carrier which is safely anchored to the vehicle roof also when the latter is not formed with safe support against outwardly directed forces, i.e. drip-mouldings, previously commonly provided on vehicle roofs. In a load-carrier in accordance with the invention a clamping element which from the support on the foot member projects into the interior of the load-carrying rail and which may be clamped against the inner face of said rail, is connected with an actuating member mounted in the foot member, in a motion-transferring fashion, said clamping element comprising a finger-like spring which is connecting with the foot member and one end of which abuts against the inner face of the load-carrying rail, said resilient finger directed obliquely outwards from said end so that in tightened conditions it tends to move the foot member inwards, towards the vehicle center. |
