The present invention relates to a load carrier foot for attaching a load carrying portion to a vehicle. The load carrier foot has a base portion which has a cover portion which is movably mounted thereon via a bearing device. The bearing device is designed to lock the cover portion in a covering position, wherein the locking presses the cover portion into contact with the base portion. In addition, the load carrier foot has a damping element and an engagement element protruding from the cover portion. When the engagement element engages with the base portion, the damping element is arranged between the engagement element and a wall of the base portion delimiting the recess. The base portion also forms a stop which is designed to block rotation of a lock relative to the base portion. The invention also relates to a vehicle comprising such a load carrier foot.

A bicycle carrier can include a base, a wheel tray, and a bicycle securement arm. The wheel tray can be configured to receive a wheel of a bicycle. The wheel tray can include a proximal end coupled to the base and a distal end opposite the proximal end. The bicycle securement arm can be rotatably coupled to the wheel tray. The bicycle securement arm can be configured to secure a bicycle to the bicycle carrier.

A bicycle carrier includes a base, a bicycle tray, a wheel holder, and a wheel securement arm. The bicycle tray can couple to the base and be configured to support a bicycle. The wheel holder can couple to the bicycle tray and be configured to translate relative to the bicycle tray. The wheel securement arm can rotatably couple to the bicycle tray or the wheel holder and be configured to secure a bicycle wheel in the wheel holder.

The disclosure relates to a bicycle support arm for a bicycle carrier. The bicycle support arm includes a first arm rotatably coupled to the bicycle carrier, a second arm slidably coupled to the first arm, and a pivotable head coupled to the second arm and configured to secure a bicycle to the bicycle carrier. In some embodiments, the pivotable head at least partially encloses a distal end of the second arm.

A tent system includes a first shell member configured to mount to a vehicle, a second shell member rotatably coupled to the first shell member via a hinge assembly, a first flexible membrane having a first membrane fastener, a second flexible membrane having a second membrane fastener, and a shell interconnector configured to couple at least a portion of the first shell member or second shell member to at least one of the first flexible membrane and second flexible membrane.

A vehicle rack system for adjustably attaching equipment to a vehicle can include a base, an upper saddle, and a telescoping upright. The base can be configured to be removably coupled to the vehicle. The upper saddle can be spaced apart from the base and coupled to a cross-rail. The telescoping upright can extend from the base to the upper saddle. The telescoping upright can include a first arm, a telescoping arm, and a locking system. The telescoping arm can be slideably disposed within the first arm. The locking system can be configured to releasably couple the first arm and the telescoping arm. When the locking system is actuated, the telescoping arm can slide relative to the first arm to adjust a distance between the cross-rail and the base.

A roof rack foot assembly for a roof rack includes a carrier member and a bracket. The carrier member is for carrying a crossbar of the roof rack. The bracket is configured for attachment to a fix point attachment position of a vehicle by use of at least one fixation means, such as a screw or bolt. The bracket comprises an engagement portion and a seat portion for the carrier member.

A roof rack for a vehicle includes a roof rack foot member having a vehicle roof support surface, an engagement member configured to engage a vehicle bracket of the vehicle, a tightening member configured to tighten the engagement member, and a cross bar member configured to carry a load on the vehicle. The tightening member is configured to couple to the roof rack foot member and the cross bar member to secure the roof rack to the vehicle. The tightening member includes a first engagement section and the engagement member comprises a second engagement section. The first engagement section and the second engagement section are configured to mate and tighten the engagement member to the vehicle bracket.

The disclosure relates to a bicycle support arm for a bicycle carrier. The bicycle support arm includes a first arm rotatably coupled to the bicycle carrier, a second arm slidably coupled to the first arm, and a pivotable head coupled to the second arm and configured to secure a bicycle to the bicycle carrier. In some embodiments, the pivotable head at least partially encloses a distal end of the second arm.

The disclosure relates to a load carrier ( 1 ) for a vehicle, such as a bike earner ( 1 ), adapted to be mounted to a vehicle for transporting a load, the load carrier ( 1 ) comprising-a base frame ( 500 ) having a length extension (L), a width extension (w) and a height extension (h), the base frame ( 500 ) comprising a first and a second elongated member ( 510, 520 ) for carrying a load, wherein the first and a second elongated members ( 510, 520 ) are separate from each other and provided substantially parallel with respect to each other along the length extension (L), wherein the base frame ( 500 ) further comprises:—a first and a second bridging portion ( 530, 540 ) provided between the first and second elongated members ( 510. 520 ) and coupling the first and second elongated members ( 510, 520 ) together.
