Device for attaching skis an od .

on car roofs

The invention relates to a device for attaching skis to car roofs with buckles or eyelets for straps, Belts or similar traction means. The device has at least two support bars or brackets that can be attached to the roof -pipes equipped with said clips, buckles and straps for attaching skis, water skis, Fishing rods that are to be attached to the support bars by means of the straps or the like.

The known ski mounts of this type are designed to hold, for example, two pairs of skis laterally next to each other by having one on one side of each spar

300834/0482

such a clamping and fastening device for a pair of skis and another such device for another pair Skis are provided. '

These clamps and fasteners are easy to use: damage, break or loosen. If the clamp or fastener becomes defective, that pair has skis no more hold on the vehicle roof, it detaches from the vehicle roof, which is a serious traffic hazard is. Another disadvantage is that previously the clips or eyelets, on which the straps or traction means are fastened, sit immovably firmly on the support bars, so the device cannot can be set for skis of different dimensions or for different items of luggage.

These disadvantages are eliminated by the invention. Of the The invention is therefore based on the object of creating a ski holder in which the skis are not, at least not can easily detach from the vehicle roof and which is adjustable to different dimensions of the skis and other items of luggage. This object is achieved according to the invention in that the eyelets or buckles attached to the support bars for the traction means are designed in such a way that easily replaceable at least two of these traction means are attached to them, which are parallel to each other and substantially run parallel to the support bars and which interact in such a way that that if one traction device or fastening strap fails, the other serves as a reserve; and that the brackets

309834/0489

ο Buckles or eyelets close the fastening straps laterally guide the support bars.

Brackets with lateral opening mouths are preferably provided on the support bars, in which the fastening straps are detachably received in a manner known per se. These clamping means preferably have round through openings, so that they are attached to the correspondingly round support bars and can be displaced on them. Preferably have the through holes have a groove in which a spring engages on the support bars. These clamping means are preferably arranged in such a way that the traction means - in the relaxed state - lie essentially in a plane like the support bars.

At least two of these clamping means preferably have ^:

Beat or the like. Blocking means, so that they opposite the;

Support struts are not displaceable, with further clamp means being slidably seated on the support struts. The distance between The brackets are thus adjustable, for setting on multiple objects such as a fishing rod or wide objects such as water skis.

The fastening straps are preferably made of plastic, preferably round, and have thickenings at their ends (Stop Knobs), but they can also be designed differently. The straps can also be provided with thickenings between their ends, which improves the retention of the skis or the like will.

Further advantages and features of the invention emerge from the following description of exemplary embodiments on the basis of FIG Drawing.

Show it:

Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment in view, flg. 2 shows the same embodiment in plan view, Pig. 3 shows a detail, namely a clip provided on the support bars, which is inserted in lateral ΚΊ emmermaulern holds the fastening straps releasably,

the clip according to flg. 4- can be locked on the support beam, flg. 5 shows a further embodiment of the clip, and although for the square cross-section of the support beam and with

two hooked mouths on one side, the bracket according to flg. 6 is also for square support bars certain, it has a hooked mouth on each side, like flg. 3 and 4 ·,

The device preferably has two support bars 1. The support bars 1 have a round cross-section and at their ends fastening feet 2 which essentially consist of tubes which are telescopically attached to the ends of the support bars 1 and can be attached to the vehicle roof in a known manner. A plurality of clamps or hooks 6 is pushed onto the support beam 1, specifically displaceably along the support beam. The brackets or hooks 8 at the ends of the support house 1, however, are blocked by means of fastening screws 7 with respect to the support bar

309834/0489

bar. The brackets 8 have an inner projection 9 »which should rest against the end of the support beam, with a through hole is provided, in which the tubular parts of the feet 2 is inserted.

The brackets 6 have an annular part 10 on the support beam 1 is pushed and two lateral wings 11 has. These wings have recesses 12 that are open at the bottom (Hooked mouths), which narrow slightly towards the bottom. Every hook mouth is provided in a known manner for easy, detachable fastening of the fastening straps 13. Each strap 13 consists of an elastomer, for example rubber, with a round cross-section and has a number of thickenings 14 or "knobs", which do not go through the hooked mouths. The bands also have a thickening 15 »at one end. which serves as a handle.

The displaceable clips or hook carriers 6 (FIGS. 1 and 2) are pushed onto the support bar 1, with a clip support 8 being locked by means of a pressure screw 7 at the end of the support bar is.

According to FIG. 1, two pairs of skis 17 »17 'and a pair of ski poles 18 are attached by means of the device according to the invention. The two bands work in pairs or independently of one another. The straps completely enclose the skis, also from above.

309834/0489

The slidable brackets or hooks or hook carriers 6 are can be moved by hand on the support bars 1 and thus make it possible to adjust the distance from one clamp to the other so that that it is larger or smaller, so that the belts, for example, skis or fishing rods or water skis better can hold.

According to FIG. 3, the through bores 20 of the hook supports have grooves 21 for a spring 22 on the support beam; the hook carriers can thus not be twisted on the support bars 1.

According to FIG. 5, the clamp 17 has a square through hole for a square support beam 1 '. It's just one Lateral wing 11 with two hooked mouths 12 open at the bottom, provided for two straps or tension ropes 12.

The support beam 1 can also be designed in such a way, in particular telescopic be that from a central part of the side parts can be pulled out, which form feet 2 on the roof or on the Begenrinne are to be attached.

The invention can also be varied in many ways in other parts, without departing from the subject of the invention.
