Abstract: Disclosed is a tilting mechanism for a load carrier. The tilting mechanism may be configured to assist a pivoting movement of the movable portion of the load carrier at least into a non-use position of the movable portion. The tilting mechanism may comprise a first coupling portion configured to be coupled to the movable portion of the load carrier and movable between a retracted position and an extended position. Furthermore, the tilting mechanism may comprise a dampening mechanism which is configured to at least partially decelerate or limit a movement speed of the first coupling portion upon moving the same to the extended position.

Abstract: Disclosed is a coupling member for a vehicle roof rack, the coupling member having a first elongate coupling segment and a second elongate coupling segment coupled by a coupling portion. In some embodiments, the first elongate coupling segment comprises a first wall, and the second elongate coupling segment comprises a second wall facing the first wall, and the coupling portion extends from the first wall to the second wall. In some embodiments, the first elongate coupling segment, the second elongate coupling segment, and the coupling portion define a receiving space configured to receive a portion of an interior wall of a crossbar member of the vehicle roof rack.

Abstract: 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.
