Abstract
A power lift roof rack, for loading and unloading cargo, to and from the vehicle's roof top, while maintaining or changing cargo's orientation. System consists of horizontal travel Assembly A, vertical travel Assembly B, and load carriage Assembly C. Electric motors are used for travels.
Assembly A sits on the roof rails of vehicle. Base bars of Assembly B are connectedat the top end to the base bars of Assembly A, and bottom is supported by telescoping legs to support the load. When cargo is placed and secured on Assembly C, and a button is pressed, Assembly C on the arms of Assembly B travels vertically to the required height and stops.
Then Assembly A
receives Assembly C and moves it horizontally to the end of travel and gets the Assembly C
secured. In transport position the Assembly B collapses and rests secured on side and or under assembly A.

Description
DESCRIPTION
FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates in general to the cargo carriers of the vehicles and in particular to the cargo carrier system having a power lifting mechanism for loading and unloading the cargo, to and from the roof top of a vehicle. In another embodiment this invention can also be used on aircrafts to load and unload cargo as well as for lifting a handicap person with a wheel chair.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention is created because people love to travel with items, such as bicycles, cargo boxes, kayaks, canoes, skies, snowboards etc. or just for everyday needs like wheelchairs, and go through a lot of inconvenience of lifting or trying to lift heavy objects and could get injured or waste lots of time during the process. Many of us are Seniors now it is very hard for them to lift articles to the roof top, Many people have vehicles that have hard to reach roof tops such as vans and sport utility vehicles, which makes it even more difficult for anyone to load up cargo on the roof top, so with this invention, cargo is easily placed or removed to and from the roof top of a vehicle.
A large number of people use roof mounted cargo carriers. These carriers help to increase the carrying capacity of vehicles which is limited due to the shape and size of various articles, hence not only they save the interior space but also make it possible to carry larger articles. A variety of articles can be carried on the roof top of a vehicle, such as, bicycles, cargo boxes, kayaks, canoes, skis, wheel chair, etc., which needs to be loaded on the roof top of a vehicle for transportation.
The cargo carriers are becoming more and more popular because of the interior space saving, and also because of the possibility of carrying larger articles. There is also a growing popularity of vans and sport utility vehicles. These vehicles are of a significant height which leads to roofs that are beyond the reach of an average person. When a cargo box is mounted on the rooftop of a vehicle it is very hard for an average height person to put something inside or take out something from it, simply because of not having an easy access to it, either the person has to use a ladder, or climb up somehow or the person has to un mount the box and bring it down for an easy access.

2-7 = , The prior art provides various systems where the designs have been developed towards convenience and functionality by using a number of methods and techniques in an effort to provide ease-of-use to the end user. A multitude of arrangements have been designed to provide easier loading and unloading the cargo to and from the top of a vehicle. All of the arrangements provide help to load and unload cargo to and from the roof top of a vehicle, but there is still a need for an improved roof rack system that eliminates the strength and height requirements of individuals to load and unload the cargo to and from the roof top of a vehicle and also minimizes the risk of injury to the individuals. That creates a demand for a power loading and unloading system that can help people to load and unload without physical exertion.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
The present invention provides a power lift roof rack for loading and unloading cargo to and from the vehicle roof tops, with the help of electric motors, while maintaining cargo's orientation. System consists of horizontal travel Assembly A, vertical travel Assembly B, and load carriage Assembly C. Electric motors are used for Horizontal and Vertical travels.
Assembly A sits on the top of existing roof rails of vehicle, or it can sit on its own feet or rails that can be attached to the vehicle. Assembly C travels on the arms of vertical rails of Assembly B. Vertical rails are mounted on vertical base bars, Top ends of these vertical base bars are connected to the ends of base bars of assembly A, and bottom of vertical base bars are supported by telescoping legs. These telescoping legs reach to the ground when extended to support the load, these telescoping legs are very important because they take away the stress that could damage the vehicle. These telescoping legs also increase the load lifting capacity of lift system. The loader (human) can bring the load to any convenient position of height, by pressing the button on control, for loading and securing the objects, to the Assembly C.
The load is placed in the required orientation (vertical or horizontal) and it keeps its position of orientation (vertical or horizontal). This is specifically important when loading tall objects like bikes and equally important in case of cargo boxes etc., so that the articles contained inside, keep their position and don't get damaged or scattered inside.
When the load is placed and secured on the Assembly C, and a button is pressed, Assembly C, on the arms of Assembly B, rises to the required height and stops at the end.
Then the Assembly C is shifted to the Assembly A, and it travels horizontally, and at a predetermined fixed point, the horizontal movement stops and the Assembly C gets secured. In the transport position the Assembly C sits in a secured position on assembly A, the cross member is detached and the assembly B collapses and rests secured on sides and or under Assembly A.
