ABSTRACT:
A ski rack which can be used on most types of slope-backed vehicles is disclosed. The ski rack is adapted to attach to the edge of the trunk lid or similar planar edge portion of the vehicle. The rack includes a support member to which the skis are attached, and a clamp for mounting the support member on the vehicle. The clamp has one end attached to the support member and a second opposite end which detachably attaches to the planar edge portion of the vehicle. The second end has a first planar member adapted to abut the underside of the edge portion, and a second planar member in parallel spaced opposition to the first planar member and adapted to abut the upper surface of the edge portion opposite the first planar member. Means are provided for urging the second planar member toward the first planar member to engage the edge portion therebetween. The first planar member has a lateral edge adapted to be adjacent a support rib on the underside of the planar edge portion, and the second planar member is adapted to span the support rib so that the clamp is at least partially supported by the rib, thereby providing a rigid support for the ski rack.
