ABSTRACT:
A cargo rack mountable on the roof of a car or the bed of a pickup truck. The rack has a frame that includes a support base for carrying cargo between a pair of spaced apart upstanding members. A restraining strap on the frame extends between the upstanding members. Elastic cords extending from the upstanding members suspend the strap over the support base to provide clearance for the cargo. A ratchet mechanism urges the strap toward the cargo to hold it on the support base.
