A cross rail for forming a load-bearing rack of a luggage carrier which is detachably secured to the side members that form the fixed frame of the carrier. The frame is supported above the surface of the vehicle and the load-bearing surface is suspended between the frame and the body of the vehicle. The individual cross members include an elongated cross rail member with T-shaped end caps secured to each end of the member to which individual clamps are pivotaly secured. Each clamp includes an upper clamp member, a lower clamp member received by the upper clamp member, and a bolt which connects the two clamp members in adjustable relation to each other. The two clamp members form a substantially C-shaped clamping channel which is adjustable by rotating the bolt accordingly. Thus, the cross member is capable of being utilized with different frame sizes simply by adjusting the clamping channel. |
