Abstract
Abstract A load carrier for vehicles comprises at least one girder (1) extending across the body of the vehicle and being provided near its end with a support (3) and a clamping member (6). The clamping member (6) is coupled in a movable manner with an intermediate element (9) pivotable with respect to the support (3). A stretching element (13) is operatively connected between the support or the girder and the clamping member.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
81 words
A load carrier comprising at least one girder extendng across the body of a vehicle and being provided near its end with a support capable of being disposed on the motor body and a clamping member movable with respect to said support characterized in that the clamping member (6) is coupled in movable manner with an intermediate element (9) pivotable with respect to the support, a stretching element (13) being operative between the support or girder respectively and the clamping member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
81 words
A load carrier comprising at least one girder extendng across the body of a vehicle and being provided near its end with a support capable of being disposed on the motor body and a clamping member movable with respect to said support characterized in that the clamping member (6) is coupled in movable manner with an intermediate element (9) pivotable with respect to the support, a stretching element (13) being operative between the support or girder respectively and the clamping member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A load carrier as claimed in Claim 1 characterized in that the intermediate element is pivotable about a first shaft directed transversely of the girder.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
A load carrier as claimed in Claims 1 and 2 characterized in that the clamping member is coupled with the intermediate element so as to be pivotable about a second shaft parallel to the first shaft.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
A carrier as claimed in Claims 1 and 2 characterized in that the clamping member is slidably coupled with the intermediate element.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
42 words
A load carrier as claimed in Claims 1 to 4 characterized in that the clamping member is provided with an arm with a nut body extending below the girder for receiving the stretching element constructed in the form of a screw bolt.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
33 words
A load carrier as claimed in Claim 5 characterized in that the girder or the support has an opening for actuating the stretching element, which opening can be closed by a locking member.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
33 words
A load carrier as claimed in Claims 1 to 6 characterized in that the support is provided with a foot pivotable about a third shift perallel to the first or the second shaft.
