Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cargo carrier for a vehicle, in particular a rooftop cargo carrier, for stowing goods to be transported therein. The cargo carrier comprises a base and a lid, which are moveable with respect to each other to adjust the cargo carrier between a closed and an open state. Further, the cargo carrier comprises an air channel for purging air from an interface region formed between the base and the lid in the closed state at a front portion of the cargo carrier, preferably to reduce a force caused by a headwind that acts to spread the base and the lid apart in the interface region.

Abstract: A tent system includes a base system, a canopy, and one or more interconnecting members. The base system includes a first base member configured to mount to a vehicle, a second base member, and a hinge pivotally attaching the first base member to the second base member. The canopy includes a flexible membrane having a membrane edge and a canopy fastener coupled to at least a portion of the membrane edge and configured to mate with an interconnecting member fastener. The one or more interconnecting members include an interconnecting member body defining a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge, an attachment member, and the interconnecting member fastener attached to the interconnecting member body along the second longitudinal edge and configured to mate with a plurality of different canopy fasteners.

Abstract: A hitch-mount bicycle carrier including a stinger, a support member coupled to the stinger by a variably configurable hub, a foot having a distal end disposed distally from the support member, and a manual actuator disposed at a distal end of the support member. The stinger is configured to be inserted into a hitch receiver of a vehicle. The support member is configured to be disposed in a plurality of orientations relative to the stinger. The support member supports one or more bicycles. The manual actuator includes a trigger coupled to the variably configurable hub to dispose the support member in the plurality of orientations. A portion of the foot is disposed below the trigger when the support member is in a bicycle carrying position.

Abstract: A method of operating a watercraft carrier includes activating a handle at an outboard end of a base of the watercraft carrier. The activating the handle releases a locking mechanism of an upright. The locking mechanism is disposed at a distal end of the base. The method further includes rotating the upright from a first position to a second position.

Abstract: An adapter fixable to a bike mount of a bike supporting unit for changing the dimension of said bike mount such that a predetermined bike axle mount type of several bike axle mount types configured to be supported on the bike mount. The adapter is configured as a multiway adapter comprising at least two different adapter sections each provided to adapt the bike mount to a specific one of the different bike axle mount types so that by means of the adapter, the bike mount can be adapted to at least two different bike axle mount types. Furthermore, a bike mount for receiving the adapter and a bike mount system is disclosed.
