LOAD CARRIER FOOT FOR CLAMPING A LOAD CARRIER AT A ROOF OF A VEHICLE

摘要

The present invention refers to a load carrier foot (1) for clamping of a load carrier at an edge portion or a border (2) of the roof of a vehicle, comprising a support plate (6), which abuts against the roof of the vehicle and having a downwardly bent gripping edge (7), which grips around one side of the edge portion or the border (2) of the roof of the vehicle, a clamping jaw (11) and a tightening means (12), which is arranged to move the clamping jaw (11) against the other side of the edge portion or the border (2) of the roof of the vehicle, such that the load carrier foot (1) being firmly clamped around the border (2) of the roof, between said clamping jaw (11) and the gripping edge (7) of the support plate (6). The essential for the invention is that said clamping jaw (11) is designed of spring steel with high tensile yield limit, wherein the clamping jaw (11) absorbs occurring tolerances of the border (2) of the roof.
