ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a device for affixing a load-bearing element to the roof of a vehicle such that the load-bearing element extends transversely over the roof. The device has a supporting and fixing element for engaging the vehicle. A contact support member is generally rigidly attached to an end part of the load-bearing element and extends downward from the element. The supporting and fixing element is swingably attached to the load-bearing element or the contact support member such that the lower end of the supporting and fixing element can be moved toward or away from the longitudinal center line of the vehicle. A clamping device is disposed on the contact support member and, in an activated locked position of the clamping device, the clamping device presses the lower part of the supporting and fixing element into locking engagement with a holding arrangement of the vehicle. In the open position of the clamping device, the clamping device frees the supporting and fixing element so that the lower part of the element can be swung out of engagement with the vehicle.
