ABSTRACT:
A vehicle article carrier having a rotatable cross bar which simultaneously causes bracket members at each end of the cross bar to be locked and unlocked in accordance with rotational movement of the cross bar. A cross bar supporting member is disposed at each end of the cross bar and includes a camming portion. The camming portion of each supporting member simultaneously causes a clamping member to be moved between locked and unlocked positions when a user engages an actuating member associated with one of the bracket members and concurrently rotates the cross bar. Thus, there is no need for cables or other members to extend through the cross bar to accomplish the simultaneous locking and unlocking of both of the bracket members.
