ABSTRACT:
An anchorage device for a load carrier intended for a vehicle roof (3) includes a strut (1) which extends across the vehicle roof (3) and has, in each end, an anchorage foot (2). The anchorage foot is provided with a support arrangement (4) for transferring loading to the vehicle roof, and also with anchorage members for fixedly retaining the anchorage foot (2) to the vehicle. According to the invention, the support arrangement is provided with two support members (17) which are pivotally retained in the anchorage foot (2) so as to pivot towards and away from one another, and have obliquely inclined grooves (22) for locking accommodation of projections or pins (14) secured in the vehicle. The support members are of platelike configuration so as to be able to extend down into narrow spaces (9, 10, 12) in the vehicle and there engage with the projections or pins (14) and are provided, in their lower edges, with support surfaces (16) for abutment against the bottom (10) of the space (9, 10, 12).
