Abstract: A collapsible, cargo carrier designed to be attached to the rack on the roof or truck lid on a vehicle. The carrier includes an enclosure made of durable, water-proof, coated vinyl material with a closeable inner lid. An outer lid is disposed over the inner lid and the enclosure to provide two wind and water-proof barriers over the cargo. The outer lid is attached along one edge to the front panel of the enclosure via a flexible, water-proof hinge also made of coated vinyl material. The enclosure and inner and outer lids are made of coated vinyl material which enables them to be sewn or heat welded together during manufacturing. A plurality of adjustable anchor straps are disposed longitudinally over the cargo carrier which are used to selectively attach it to the rack. A plurality of compression straps are disposed transversely over the cargo carrier which are used to adjust the shape of the carrier to the shape of the cargo items carried therein and to make the cargo carrier more aerodynamic.

Abstract: A midship-type vehicle, with an engine mounted in a rear portion of a vehicle body, includes an openable and closable maintenance lid covering an upper portion of an engine room, and an openable and closable rear glass gate covering an upper portion of the maintenance lid. The maintenance lid includes a lower lid body and an upper cover, both of which are pivotally supported by a common pivot. A removable roof accommodating space is defined between the lid body and the cover. After opening the rear glass gate, only the cover is opened to conduct the removal and accommodation of the roof, or the lid body and the cover are opened simultaneously to conduct maintenance on the engine. Thus, it is possible to accommodate the roof, which has been removed from the vehicle body, without sacrificing any volume in a trunk or a passenger compartment.

Abstract: A car-top-transportable baggage carrier is particularly suited for use on aerodynamically streamlined cars which have no rain gutters. The carrier is made from a single continuous piece of material so that no seams or joinings in the material are produced in the face of the enclosure or the top and bottom surfaces. Weight distribution paneling within a load bearing floor pad inserted at the bottom of the carrier serve to distribute the weight of articles emplaced within the carrier, yet permit the carrier to be accordion folded for storage when not in use. Straps affixed to the top of the carrier are employed to secure the carrier in position on top of an automobile. The straps are equipped with innovative door head liner hooks which secure the carrier to the interior of the automobile adjacent the top of the car door. Releasable couplings permit rapid removal and replacement of the distal ends of the strapping as desired.
