Two luggage-like containers disposed adjacent one another are thereby arranged on the carriers, of which one is provided on the inside with mounting supports for skis and is open toward the rear while the other is constructed for receiving ski poles and ski boots.

Abstract: A vertical or height adjustable mounting arrangement for safety belts of a vehicle which enables a stepwise variable adjustment of an abutment height of a deflecting or end member of the safety belt. The mounting arrangement includes a mounting plate having a vertically extending slot and a plurality of lateral slots extending from the vertically extending slot. The lateral slots extend obliquely downwardly and toward a front of the vehicle so as to define a plurality of individual catching points for an adjusting member of the safety belt and for holding the deflecting or end member of the safety belt. A drop slot is provided at the end of each of the lateral slots with the drop slot being offset downwardly with respect to the lateral slot and having a length which is at least twice a width of the lateral slots so as to form an automatically effective gravity-caused locking of the adjusting member in an end position of the lateral slots.

Abstract: A traffic system consisting of vehicle and road, in particular for the public local passenger traffic, with automatically cross-controllable vehicles, with a track-determining guide device extending along a desired track and with a cross-positional controller in the vehicle detecting the course of the guide device and acting on the steerable wheels of the vehicle; for purposes of catching a vehicle that deviates from the track, an emergency safety channel delimited by vertical side webs is provided along the road between the support wheels of the vehicle, whose width corresponds to the maximum permissive cross-positional tolerance of the vehicle on the road without lateral collision; at least one emergency safety bolt which is normally taken along in the raised position and is adapted to be rapidly lowerable, is provided centrally of the vehicle at the bottom side thereof; the safety bolt is able to support itself at the side webs of the emergency safety channel while feelers provided at the vehicle on both s
