As the importance of leisure has become bigger in recent years, leisure culture is rapidly spreading, and a representative example of this is auto camping. As the auto camping is activated, many types of camping equipment are on the market. Therefore, the camper who enjoys the camping periodically will have a large amount of camping equipment, and a space for loading the camping equipment in the vehicle is required. For this reason, a loop carrier is widely used. The roof carrier is a box or an installation mechanism for installing a roof rack on a roof of a vehicle and fixing the roof rack to the roof rack. Since the roof carrier is installed on the roof of the vehicle, its installation height can be increased. Particularly, those who enjoy auto camping often use high SUVs because the height of the SUVs is high, so that the installation height of the roof carrier becomes higher, which makes loading and unloading difficult.

The Korean Utility Model Registration Application No. 20-2006-0019632 is designed to facilitate loading and unloading of luggage, but the effect is not great because the load must be lifted up to the roof height of the vehicle. Further, when the height of the vehicle is high, The effect is halved.

In the base 10, the front part 11 is formed in a wired form to reduce the wind resistance and has a top plate 14. The rear portion 12 of the base is provided with an opening communicating with the carrier box seating portion 13.

The guide means guides the carrier box 20 so as to be drawn out from the base 10 and then rotated down toward the ground. The guide means includes a base rail 30 provided on the base 10, a movable rack 31 which is engaged with the base rail 30 and starts along the extending direction of the base rail 30, And a moving rail 23 provided on both sides. The movable rail 23 starts to move along the extension direction of the movable rack 31 while being seated on the upper side of the movable rack 31. A hinge shaft (40) is provided at the end of the movable rail (23). A guide groove 22 in which the hinge shaft 40 is projected is provided on the side of the movable rail 23. [ The guide means includes a dual rail structure that allows the carrier box 20 to be completely removed from the base 10 body. Such a rail structure is also widely used in the furniture industry.

However, according to the present invention, after the carrier box 20 is completely drawn out from the base 10 to become the state shown in FIG. 2, the carrier box 20 is rotated around the hinge shaft 40 to be in the state shown in FIG.
