Abstract

A vehicle luggage rack system (10) for mounting upon a vehicle surface (14) comprises first and second side rail members (12a, 12b), each of which defines a longitudinal channel (24a, 24b), and first and second cross rail members (28, 30) for receipt within a respective one of the longitudinal channels (24b, 24a) when in a first, longitudinal configuration and being movable out of the respective one of the longitudinal channels (24b, 24a) into a second, cross-vehicle configuration in which the first and second cross rail members (28, 30) extend laterally across the vehicle surface (14), wherein each of the longitudinal channels (24a, 24b) is provided with bearing means (32) for receiving an end region (30b, 28b) of an associated one of the first and second cross rail members (30, 28), each bearing means (32) being angularly movable within its channel (24a, 24b) and co-operable with a formation (42) in its side rail member (12a, 12b) so as to allow the cross rail member (30, 28) to be moved angularly in a plane substantially parallel to the vehicle surface (14) when changing between the longitudinal and the cross-vehicle configurations.
