ABSTRACT:
A car top carrier assembly which is characterized by a light weight carrier container with an overall rectangular solid configuration, having its edges and corners radiused between all intersections of planar surfaces. The container has no internal frame, but rather the frame itself is comprised of a horizontal deck member, vertical corner support members, and horizontal edge supports, with the planar top and side portions being simple rectangular pieces of sheet material which are flangedly connected onto the corner and edge supports to define the overall container. The car top carrier is mounted upon a car top through a pair of contracting support tubes, which exert a contractive force proximate the edges of a car top, while inherently locating the superposed container in a fixed position as a consequence of the engaging step. The present invention thereby defines a particularly strong and light weight car top carrier, one which is significantly characterized by a container which requires no separate internal framing members, since the load-bearing frame is comprised of aluminum extrusions which themselves define the radiused corners and edges of the container.
