ABSTRACT:
A device for fastening a load carrier (3) preferably a so-called roof railing, on a vehicle roof (1) comprises a hollow housing portion (5) which, with its one end, connects to the vehicle body and, with its other end, carries the load carrier (3). An adapter (4) is secured on the vehicle roof (1) and has, on its upper side, an abutment (6) which is accommodated by the opening portion of the housing portion (5). The adapter (4) has a catch (7) in which engages a loop of wire (8) which is anchored in a nut (10) interiorly in the housing portion (5). A screw (9) engages in the nut (10) and, with its head (16), abuts against a support surface (17) at the end of the housing portion (15) facing towards the load carrier (3). The head (16) of the screw is accessible for tightening via an opening in the wall of the load carrier (3) whereby the loop (8) is drawn up into the housing portion (5) and this securely to the adapter (4).
