Abstract

A hollow roof rack (D) fitted to a car (P) with mechanical disconnect points (1) has dents for fitting in a vehicle's bodywork at suitable points. Within the mechanical disconnect points there are electrical and/or optical disconnect points (7,8) to supply power to components (2-6) in the roof rack. A microprocessor ( mu P) controls a bus and evaluates data, distributing it to the car's individual components.
