Embodiment Construction

[0032] figure 1 A load bar 1 of a roof rack (not shown) is illustrated in cross section, wherein the load bar 1 comprises an upper part 2 and a lower part 3 connected by a front end 4 and a rear end 5 . The bearing rods as shown in this embodiment are examples and the specific form and shape of the rods are not limiting according to the invention and different types of bearing rods may be used according to the invention.

[0033] The upper part 2 comprises an opening 6 which allows access to the carrying bar 1 and in particular a channel 7 which can be seen as perpendicular to figure 1 The direction of the cross-sectional view shown in , extends along the length of the load bearing bar. Because channel 7 is smaller in width than opening 6, channel 7 and opening 6 are often described as T-shaped channels. Thus, a fastening part inserted into the channel but having a greater width than the head can be fixed inside the channel 7 . The channel 7 has a base portion 8 (which can ...

Abstract

A load carrying bar for a roof rack, the load carrying bar comprising a channel with an opening for receiving a fastening member of a load carrying bar accessory, a cover comprising a channel sealingportion adapted to substantially seal a cross section of the opening of the channel of the load carrying bar in a cross section, and a biasing portion configured in a first position to bias the channel sealing portion towards the opening and configured in a second position to deflect the channel sealing portion away from the opening, where the biasing portion comprises at least one biasing member,where a first end of the biasing member is connected to the channel sealing portion, a second end of the biasing member is configured to engage a base part of the channel, and a central portion thatis positioned between the first end and the second end.

Description

technical field [0001] A load bar for a roof rack, the load bar comprising a channel, a cover having an opening for receiving a fastening member of a load bar attachment, the cover comprising: a channel sealing portion adapted to a cross-section in cross-section substantially sealing the opening of the passageway of the load bar; and a biasing portion configured to bias the passageway sealing portion toward the opening in a first position and configured to cause the passageway sealing portion in a second position The channel sealing portion is offset from the opening, wherein the biasing portion includes at least one biasing member, wherein a first end of the biasing member is connected to the channel sealing portion, a second end of the biasing member is configured to engage a base portion of the channel, and a central portion , which is positioned between the first end and the second end. Background technique [0002] Roof racks including load bars mounted to the roof of ...
