ABSTRACT:
A load carrier for vehicles has two longitudinal carrier profiles (4) fixed on the roof of the vehicle, the carrier profiles being of cross sections which are open in a direction towards one another and which are curved so as to be adapted to the curvature of the vehicle roof. The carrier profiles (4) are provided with covering profiles (5) on their open sides, these profiles being curved in a manner corresponding to that of the carrier profiles (4). The covering profiles (5) may be opened by pivoting by means of elastic and/or resiliently yieldable connecting devices (10) which, with short lengths, are distributed along the length of the carrier profiles. The carrier profiles (4) and the covering profiles (5) are provided, along their edges facing away from the connecting devices (10), with snap fasteners (7, 9) for fixedly retaining the covering strips in the closed position.
