  • Publication number: 20230331168
    Abstract: Disclosed is a coupling member fixable to an end portion of a crossbar member. The coupling member includes at least two elongate coupling segments configured to be at least partially inserted in longitudinally extending interior spaces of the crossbar member wherein the interior spaces are separated by a common interior wall. Two adjacent coupling segments of the at least two elongate coupling segments are fixedly coupled to each other by means of a coupling portion. The coupling portion is configured to hold the elongate coupling segments at a predetermined distance with respect to each other to define a receiving space between the adjacent elongate coupling segments. The receiving space is configured for receiving a portion of the interior wall of the crossbar member.

  • Patent number: 10391946
    Abstract: A roof rack kit includes at least a first and a second load carrying bar attachable to a vehicle and adapted to extend across the roof of the vehicle. The roof rack kit further includes a first load strip with a first height protruding vertically from the outer periphery of the first load carrying bar and a second load strip having a second height protruding vertically from the outer periphery of the second load carrying bar. The first height of the first load strip is different from the second height of the second load strip, so as to compensate for a height difference between the first and the second load carrying bar when the first and the second load carrying bars are mounted on the vehicle.
