  • Apparatus in load carriers
    Patent number: 5390840
    Abstract: A load carrier intended for vehicular use is provided with a strut fixed over the vehicle roof, on which at least one holder, such as a ski holder, is secured. The ski holder has a retainer stirrup which, in a closed position, encloses the strut and secures the ski holder thereon and which, in an open position, permits removal of the ski holder. The ski holder is further provided with a locking unit which, in the locked position, prevents removal of the skis. In order to permit simple mounting and dismounting of the ski holder on the strut, the retainer stirrup, itself, or with a first catch member secured thereon, extends, in the closed position of the retainer stirrup, into locking engagement with the locking unit or a second catch member secured thereon.
