Abstract

The present invention refers to a lowered roof rack (6) with supporting elements (2) to support a load (8) on a vehicle, which, via lowering parts (1), has a lowered loading platform or loading surface (3) with retained height at rack mounts (5). The transverse supporting elements (2) maintain their original height at the ends (10) and can therefore be attached to the vehicle's existing fastening devices or rack mounts (5). The lowering parts (1) consist of angular portions (4, 4') as transition to the loading platform (3) on the supporting elements (2). The lowering parts (1) extend a distance downwards towards the load surface (3) and the vehicle roof (7) and make it possible to have a short predetermined minimum distance (11) between the vehicle roof (7) and the supporting elements (2), whilst the ends (10) of the supporting elements (2) are adjustable, slidable and fixable in fastening points (16) on the rack mounts (5), to achieve an adaptation to the width of the actual vehicle roof (7).

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS
received by the International Bureau on 19 June 2013 (19.06.2013) 1. A roof rack (6), having rack mounts (5) to be mounted for retaining the roof rack (6) over a vehicle roof (7), said rack mounts (5) are adapted to support elongated transverse supporting elements (2) extending across the longitudinal direction of the vehicle comprising a loading area (3) to carry a load (8), such as a roof box (9), a ladder etc., the ends (10) of said elongated supporting elements (2) have lowering parts (1) resulting in that the connections of the supporting elements (2) to the rack mounts (5) are higher situated than their loading surface (3), characterized in that in providing the lowered loading surface (3) the lowering parts (1) comprise angular portions (4, 4') continued to the supporting elements (2) and between said angular portions (4, 4') the lowering parts (1) extend a distance downwards towards the vehicle roof (7), which adjusts the supporting elements (2) to a minimum distance (11) from the vehicle roof (7) at the same time as the ends (10) of the supporting elements (2) are adjustably slidable and fixable to the rack mounts (5) for adaption to the width of the actual vehicle roof (7).
2. A roof rack according to claim 1, characterized in that the ends (10) of the supporting elements (2) are adjustable by sliding to a selectable distance (18) through openings in the rack mounts (5) and lockable in these at fixing points (16) after adjustment to the width of the roof rack (3).
3. A roof rack according to claim 1, characterized in that the elongated transverse supporting elements (2) have underlying grooves for position-orientated locking to said rack mounts (5) after adjustment of the supporting elements (2) to different widths of the vehicle roof (7).
4. A roof rack according to claim 1, characterized in that the supporting elements (2) have telescopically slidable adjustment elements (14) to allow an adaption of said supporting elements (2) to different widths of the vehicle roof (7).
5. A roof rack according to claim 1, characterized in that the lowering parts (1) between their angular portions (4. 4') have telescopically adjustment elements (15) to accomplish an adjustable adaptation of the supporting elements (2) to the desired distance (11) from the vehicle roof (7).
6. A roof rack according to claim 1, characterized in that the lowering parts (1) and the elongated transverse supporting elements (2), after adjustment and locking, have a fixed length adapted to different widths of the vehicle roof (7) and varying distances (11) to the roof (7), preferably by means of locking-screws, bolted across the elongated supporting elements (2) in longitudinal direction.
7. A roof rack according to claim 5, characterized in that at the telescopically slidable and adjustable lowering parts (1) to accomplish an adaption to a predetermined distance (11) to the roof (7), the transverse supporting elements (2) have various sizes of rack mounts (5) to be able to suit the design of the actual vehicle's roof (7).
8. A roof rack according to claim 4 or 5. characterized in that the elongated transverse supporting elements (2), in which the telescoping adjustment parts (14, 15) are running, are clothed with plastic/rubber to provide a protection against dirt and give the supporting elements (2) a more uniform appearance.
