    摘要: Provided herein is a security mounting bracket device that can be used to securely connect a crossbar to a mounted object. The device is shaped to form a contoured fit with the crossbar and adapted for use with a security nut and bolt rendering both nut and bolt unexposed outside of the device and inaccessible to tools that may be used to forcibly remove the mounted object. The security mounting bracket device can be used as an antitheft device as a security socket is required to remove the nut from the security mounting bracket. The contoured fit reduces the movement of the crossbar within the security mounting bracket device therefore reducing vibrationally induced failure of the mount and loss of mounted object. The security mounting bracket device smooth edges and unexposed nut and bolt also make it a safer bracket for the user in assembly. The size and contour of the security mounting bracket device can be customized to connect any shape of a crossbar to a mounted object such as a guide rail attached to a platform or to a platform directly. The crossbar can be mounted perpendicularly or at other angles, to the security mounting bracket device or and can be used to connect a plurality of mounted objects for example platforms for tents or cargo containers.

    摘要: Disclosed is a coupling member fixable to an end portion of a crossbar member. The coupling member includes at least two elongate coupling segments configured to be at least partially inserted in longitudinally extending interior spaces of the crossbar member wherein the interior spaces are separated by a common interior wall. Two adjacent coupling segments of the at least two elongate coupling segments are fixedly coupled to each other by means of a coupling portion. The coupling portion is configured to hold the elongate coupling segments at a predetermined distance with respect to each other to define a receiving space between the adjacent elongate coupling segments. The receiving space is configured for receiving a portion of the interior wall of the crossbar member.

    摘要: A roof cargo box system for transporting an article on a vehicle includes a roof cargo box and a roof cargo box carrier for mounting on a vehicle. The box includes a flexible shell for accommodating the article to be transported. The roof cargo box defines a longitudinal axis and has at least three frames which extend in respective planes transversely to the longitudinal axis. The frames are configured to receive the flexible shells spanned thereon. A scissors mechanism pulls the frames into a predetermined spaced relationship to each other along the longitudinal axis. The carrier for mounting a roof cargo box on the vehicle includes a first attachment unit for mounting on the vehicle and a second attachment unit for attachment to the roof cargo box. The roof cargo box carrier also includes a separable mechanism for rotating the attachment units relative to each other by at least 90°.
