<p>CARRYING RACK A carrying rack (10) is especially adapted to carry skis (12), poles (14) or other large items on a vehicle and includes an elongate cord (18) extending across the vehicle and hook members(20) for attaching ends of cord (18) to the vehicle. At least one bolster (22) is slidably engaged on cord (18). Each bolster (22) includes a vehicle engaging base (40) and a carrying platform surface (52) spaced above the base (40) to support skis (12). An abutment wall (56) extends upwardly from platform surface (52) to laterally support skis (12). Each bolster (22) also includes a hook section (64) and a ledge portion (63) for supporting poles (14). A clamping line (24) is formed as a continuous loop to extend around anchor line (18), up through hole (54) formed in platform surface (52), and over the top of skis (12) and poles (14) to latch with hook section (64). Clamping line (24) tightly grips anchor cord (18) to prevent bolster (22) from sliding along the length of anchor line (18).</p> |
