Torque limiting clamp actuator
A clamp includes a jaw assembly, and an actuator device for moving the jaw assembly between clamped and unclamped positions. The actuator device includes a handle, and a keyed shaft coupled to the handle via a spring biased releasable torque transfer mechanism.
Support device for vehicle racks
A device includes at least one strap support. The strap support has a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface is configured to contact a windshield of a vehicle, and the top surface having a groove configured to receive a strap. The strap support is further configured to displace the strap above an edge of a spoiler of the vehicle, so as to provide clearance between the strap and the spoiler when the strap is used to secure an object to the vehicle.

CLAMPING DEVICE AND RELATIVE SYSTEM FOR CONNECTING AT LEAST ONE BAR OR AT LEAST ONE ACCESSORY
Clamping device, to promote the locking of a bar to a vehicle or an accessory to a vehicle, comprising a bolt, provided with a shank and a locking head, the latter connected to a prismatic guide, connectable to an auxiliary body. The device further comprises a movable actuating element, which is movable following a command given by an operator, from a rest position, in which the bolt and auxiliary body are in a contact relationship, to an operating position, in which the bolt and auxiliary body are locked together. The device further includes an adjustment bushing, coupled to the bolt, adapted to impart a translation of the actuating element towards the auxiliary body. Said adjustment bushing allowing a preliminary adjustment of the position of the actuating element with respect to the auxiliary body prior to the movement of the actuating element from the rest position to the operating position.

Movable Vehicle Roof Rack Device
The present invention relates to a movable vehicle roof rack device that allows a user to easily load and unload cargo from a vehicle roof. A frame of the device can be attached to a roof of a vehicle and/or a vehicle roof cargo rack. Cargo can be secured to a base of the device via anchor points and a cargo strap (or another similar fastener). While loading and unloading the cargo from the base, the base can be articulated via a hinge, a roller, and a hydraulic strut such that a user can load and unload the cargo while on the ground instead of standing on the vehicle and loading and unloading cargo from the vehicle roof.

Vehicle-mounted garment drying rack
A rack for holding a wet garment, such as a neoprene wetsuit, to a vehicle for drying while the vehicle is in motion includes two or more mounts each adapted for removably attaching to the vehicle. A standoff is fixed with an upper side of each mount. A pair of elongated jaws comprise a lower jaw and an upper jaw. The lower jaw is fixed with forward and rear brackets. The upper jaw is pivotally attached to the forward bracket and can move between open and closed positions. The forward and rear brackets are fixed with the upper ends of each standoff. A rear bracket is adjustable forward to backward on the lower jaw so as to adapt to the vehicle roof rack of the vehicle. A locking mechanism is adapted to maintain the jaws in the closed position.
