Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a car roof rack with a device for loading and transporting, in particular, a boat on the car roof.
  • a device facilitating loading objects onto the roof rack made up of mobile roof rack load bars connected via a pivoting level to crossbars permanently fixed to the roof is known from patent description US 7,780,050.
  • the pivoting of the lever during loading can be supported by springs tensioned during the fixing of the object to the roof rack.
  • a device facilitating the loading, particularly of kayaks, onto a roof rack is known from patent description US 6,561 ,396. It is made up of carrier bars connected to the ends of fixed crossbars via a mechanism in the form of four-bar linkages with gas spring load assists, facilitating the loading and tensioned by moving carrier bars into the loading position - after previously turning them 90 degrees about the axis running through ends of crossbars - about the longitudinal axis running close to the external edge of the load. Both of the above devices have the drawback that during the loading, the highest iocation of the centre of gravity of the item to be transported is significantly above the final position.
  • the roof rack is made up of one or more assemblies, arranged parallel to one another on a single plane.
  • Each assembly is composed of a crossbar fixed to the car roof at a right angle to the car axis and a moving arm supporting the load joined to the crossbar so that it can both slide along the crossbar and pivot about a horizontal axis running through one of its ends and parallel to the axis of the car. What joins them is a roller moving inside the moving arm's section.
  • Each assembly also includes a lever whose inside end is connected to the crossbar in such a way that the lever can pivot in a vertical plane running along the crossbar.
  • the other, outside end of the lever is connected to the arm in a way allowing the arm to simultaneously slide and pivot about the end of the lever.
  • the arm is equipped with limiters stopping it from sliding beyond the centres of pivoting located at the ends of the crossbar and the lever, advantageously close to the ends of the arm.
  • this structure makes it possible to slide the arm along the horizontal line perpendicular to the vehicle axis within a range limited by the limiter on the inside end of the arm reaching the outside end of the lever. Further movement of the extended arm is possible by simultaneously sliding and pivoting the arm about the end of the crossbar and pivoting the lever about its inside end. This movement results in changing the position of the arm to one in which it tilts down from the horizontal, which is convenient for loading.
  • the return movement first results in raising the arm to the level of the car roof, and then sliding it in until the second limiter reaches the end of the crossbar.
  • One or more assemblies are fitted with a tie rod, advantageously telescoping, advantageously folding or advantageously flexible, connecting the outside end of the iever to the crossbar at a point located between the lever's axis of pivoting on the crossbar and the crossbar end opposite to the one about which the arm pivots.
  • the length of the tie rod is selected so that it is tensioned when the Iever reaches a position allowing the arm to be tilted down, thus limiting the further motion of the Iever and, indirectly, of the arm.
  • One or more assemblies are fitted with a spring, advantageously a gas spring, whose one end is connected to the lever, and the other to the crossbar at a point lying between its end and the pivot axis of the !ever.
  • a spring advantageously a gas spring, whose one end is connected to the lever, and the other to the crossbar at a point lying between its end and the pivot axis of the !ever.
  • assemblies with springs are equipped with latches that block the autonomous movement of the arm relative to the crossbar caused by the action of the spring. After the arm has been titled down, the latches stop the system from moving, making it possible to take the load off or fix it to the arm. After the latches are released, advantageously by a slight pivoting of arms about the outside ends of the levers the system can return to the position in which the arm is horizontal.
  • the crossbar, the Iever and the arm are made of metal or reinforced plastic sections.
  • the profile of the arm section provides a track for rollers or slides installed at the ends of the crossbar and the lever, enabling the arm to slide and pivot about those points.
  • the crossbar is advantageously fitted with additional rollers supporting the arm while it is being slid onto the roof in the horizontal position and a device allowing the arm to be blocked in the slid-in position.
  • the latch stopping the arm from sliding on its own is advantageously designed as the appropriate notch in the track for the roller or slides inside the arm section.
  • protecting hooks are mounted to the arms for securing the load and allowing it to be tied down with straps to the arms.
  • the roof rack according to the present invention is advantageously mounted to the car roof by attaching crossbars directly to this roof or to the appropriate structure provided by the vehicle manufacturer. This mounting is done in the way known for a typical car roof rack, or via a typical car roof rack, by fixing crossbars to parts of the typical roof rack, advantageously by bolting them with threaded brackets, advantageously U-shaped.
  • the roof rack according to the present invention is characterised by a compact, simple design and small dimensions, but significantly eases the loading of heavy, large objects onto the vehicle roof.
  • the car roof rack of the present invention also has the following advantages:
  • the force needed to lift the load is the greatest at the bottom position of the load and decreases gradually during its lifting;
  • the maximum value of the force necessary for all loading and offloading operations can be reduced to approx. 30% of the weight of the load being loaded.
  • the car roof rack according to this invention enables a single person to load such a boat onto the car roof.
  • Fig. 1 - a view from above the vehicle fitted with the car roof rack in the position with tilted arms
  • Fig. 2- a view from the front of the vehicle fitted with the car roof rack according to the invention
  • the dashed line shows subsequent positions of the roof rack and the load during loading and off-loading
  • Fig. 3 details of the car roof rack mechanism, front view
  • Fig. 4 an example of the locking latch solution.
  • the car roof rack is composed of two assemblies 1 with moving arms 2.
  • Crossbars 3 are attached to railings 4 mounted on the car roof.
  • a lever 5 is connected to the crossbar 3 by a bolt 6.
  • the outside end of the lever has a sliding-pivoting connection to the arm 2 provided by a roller 7.
  • a gas spring 8 is connected to the crossbar 3 and the lever 5 using standard hinges.
  • the end of the crossbar 3 is equipped with a roller 9.
  • a telescopic tie rod 1 0 connects the end of the lever 5 to the crossbar 3.
  • Protecting hooks 1 1 are attached permanently to the arm 2.
  • the device allowing the arm 2 to be locked in the slid-in position is made up of the rod 19 connected to the crossbar 3 and the eccentric lever 20 at the rod's end.
  • the locking latch consists of the notch in the track 15 which catches on the roller 9 when the arm 2 is in the tilted position.
  • the operation of the car roof rack consists in moving the load 12 fixed to arms 2 together with arms 2 from the tilted position of the arm 2 convenient for placing the load 1 2 on arms 2, shown in Fig. 2 by a solid line, by simultaneously lifting and rotating of the load 12 together with arms 2, and then sliding those arms to the position in which the load can be transported, shown in Fig. 2 by a dashed line.
  • the arm 2 In the position shown by a solid line in Fig. 2 of the drawings, the arm 2 is tilted and the gas spring 8 is compressed.
  • the load 12 lies on the arm 2 and rests against the protecting hook 1 1 , which protects it from sliding off and enables its tying to the arm 2 with tie-down straps.
  • the telescopic tie rod 1 0 is at its maximum elongation, thus preventing the lever 5 from pivoting clockwise due to the weight of the load 12.
  • the roller 9 is in the notch of the track 15 as shown by the solid line in Fig. 4 of the drawings, thus preventing the autonomous pivoting of the lever 5 counter clockwise caused by the action of the force of the gas spring 8, also after the load 1 is taken off the car roof rack.
  • the load 12 tied to the arm 2 is manually moved right in the direction shown by the arrow A in Fig. 4, which causes the arm 2 to pivot around the roller 7 and release the roller 9 from the notch in the track 15, as shown in Fig. 4 by a dashed line.
  • the load 12 tied Eo the arm 2 is manually raised as shown by the arrow B in Fig. 4, which causes the lever 5 to pivot around the bolt 6 with support from the gas spring 8, the arm 2 together with the load 12 to be lifted and the lever 5 to take the horizontal position shown in Fig. 3 by a dashed line.
  • the arm 2 with the load 12 is slid left until the limiter 21 touches the roller 9 as shown by a solid line in Fig. 3 of the drawings.
  • the arm 2 is locked by the eccentric lever 20 which presses the !imiter 21 against the roller 9 as shown by the dashed line in Fig. 3.
  • Offloading is carried out in the reverse order.
  • the car roof rack can also be used to load and transport items on other vehicles, particularly on trailers, including cargo ones, particularly in the widely seen transports of several boats arranged horizontaiiy one above another on the same trailer, in addition, the car roof rack can be used wherever there is a need to put a load horizontally at a certain height, especially when storing boats and other items in garages, hangars and other enclosed spaces.
