ABSTRACT:
An automobile roof carrier of the invention is mainly composed of a magnetic base portion, a gripping portion for removal, a covering member and a loading article holding portion. The covering member is integrally jointed over the magnetic base portion while the magnetic base portion is covered by the covering member except in the attractive surface of the magnetic base portion and the gripping portion for removal. Combined integrally in the upper part of the covering member is a loading article holding portion which is able to be opened and closed. A supplementary cover which is able to be opened and closed is attached to the covering member so that the gripping portion for removal may be hidden and exposed. There is provided a first locking mechanism for maintaining the closed state of the supplementary cover, whereas there is provided a second locking mechanism for maintaining the closed state of the loading article holding portion. A common key for releasing the locked states of these locking mechanisms is provided. The automobile roof carrier of the invention further includes means for preventing the degradation of appearance, increment of air flow resistance at driving, the reduction of contacting area with the roof and the like.
