ABSTRACT:
A clamp for supporting elongated articles such as a pair of skis on a motor vehicle includes a support base attachable to a load bar mounted transversely above a motor vehicle. A retaining element is pivotally attached at one end to the support base and is pivotable from an open position in which elongated articles can be inserted in or removed from said clamp to a closed position wherein it can be locked. The retaining element, together with its associated lock, further is pivotable about a second axis from a first position located to the rear of the rearward surface of the support base to a raised position spaced above the top surface of the support base wherein elongated articles can be clamped between the retaining element and the top of the support base. The retaining element is provided with a soft elastomeric surface for engagement with the top of the skis, while the top of the support base is provided with a layer of hard polymeric material to engage the bottom of the skis.
