FR2470028A1 - Car roof luggage trunk - has fibre-glass resin construction with side hatch doors and sponge rubber sealing - Google Patents

Abstract

The luggage trunk is for fitting to the roof of a car. It is in one piece, of fibre glass and resin and proof against rain. The front face is sloped to improve aerodynamic qualities. Each side face has a hatch door with a hand grip and lock. The trunk is carried on cross bars with hard interior and with two holes for fixings. The sealing of the hatch doors is of sponge rubber in channels. Seatings are moulded on the upper and lower faces. The trunk can be fixed to the bars by stirrups.

Description

The present invention relates to a trunk serving as a luggage compartment, monobloc, fiberglass and resin, intended to be fixed on the standard type ski carrier bars that each has that can be adapted on current type cars, trunk for contain and protect the baggage transported, produced in four dimensions in order to cover the range of the peivllons of current cars. The invention with its two side doors opening in a tailgate and locking, making it possible to place or pick up with ease suitcases or packages, while ensuring luggage security since it cannot fall on the road, while being at shelter from rain and pickpocketing at stages.

Its sloping, windshield-like face allows air to slide over it in continuation of the windshield, ae which translates into energy savings compared to packages or suitcases that are poorly wrapped under plastic offering good greater resistance to air, hence additional energy expenditure
