Mounting assembly for vehicle roof-box
An assembly for mounting a vehicle roof-box on a vehicle roof panel comprises a pair of roof rails disposed on the vehicle roof panel at both sides thereof respectively in a front-rear direction of the vehicle roof panel; a plurality of cross-bars spacedly arranged in the front-rear direction, wherein each cross-bar has two opposing ends removably coupled to the roof rails respectively, wherein the vehicle roof-box is mounted to the cross-bars; and a plurality of securing means configured to removably secure the cross-bars to the roof rails, wherein each of the plurality of securing means includes a first bracket movable along each of the roof rails, and a second bracket screw-coupled to the first bracket to secure the first bracket to each of the roof rails, wherein an end of each of the cross-bars is fixed to the second bracket.
VEHICULAR ROOF RACK WITH NOISE REDUCING CROSSBAR PROFILE
Disclosed is a vehicular roof rack that is adapted for reducing wind noise. It includes left and right pedestals for attachment to the vehicle and extending above a roof of the vehicle. It further includes an elongated crossbar extending between the left and right pedestals and above the roof of the vehicle, the crossbar having a leading edge, a trailing edge, and a profile along substantially all of its length, the profile including a smoothly curved envelope with no outwardly protruding portions extending outside of the smoothly curved envelope and with at least one step-down groove that is inside of the smoothly curved envelope and located nearer to the leading edge of the crossbar than to the trailing edge. The step-down groove may be on the top, the bottom, or both sides of the crossbar. The pedestals may include step-down grooves that substantially align with the step-down groove of the crossbar.

CAPROP
CAPROP (Tools Hood): It is a tool box located at the top rear of the cart. The intention is to equip it with the necessary tools to make it independent. The flap covering the CAPROP tool box opens and is secured with a double leg hinge, exposing different attachments, deployed in their particular spaces. The flap of the tool box closes with a twist lock with key. It has a night work led bulb inside and a red emergency light on top of the flap outside. All those tools within CAPROP are necessary to solve different emergency situation. Behind each tools pocket is a 10 foot piece of nylon rope. Inside the drawer are a pair of gloves, a first aid kit, a tire repair kit and a clean cloth. The uses of golf carts has been on the rise given their low cost maintenance and its accessibility in rural areas. It is used frequently by disabled persons.

Roof box system for motor vehicles and case for a roof box system
In order to provide a roof box system (100) for a motor vehicle (11) which is easy to handle and which can be used in many different ways and which features an aerodynamically advantageous shape, it is proposed that the roof box system (100) shall include a roof (10) of a motor vehicle (11) which includes at least one ceiling element (13) which is installed on at least one roof base element (12) and an insertion element (18) with at least one outer wall. Pursuant to the invention, the at least one ceiling element (13) can be moved from an initial state to a receiving state so that an interspace (15) suitable for receiving the insertion element (18) is formed, and, in the receiving state, the insertion element (18) can be arranged in the interspace (15) so that the at least one outer wall of the insertion element (18) forms an outer surface (26, 27) of the roof box system (100).

Assembly for connecting a roof rack to a vehicle
An assembly for releasably connecting a roof bar to a roof of a vehicle. The assembly includes a body which is affixed to the roof bar, a base which is affixed to the roof and has a receiving portion for receiving a portion of the body, a locking pin slidably engaged with the body and the base, and slidable along an axis between a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the locking in engages the body and the base. In the unlocked position, the locking pin engages the body or the base. The assembly also has an actuator movable along the axis to slide the locking pin between the locked position and the unlocked position, thereby selectively engaging the body with the base.
Air Drag Improvement Attachment for Rack and Load
An attachment is intended to be affixed to a vehicle's ladder rack to improve the air drag of both the ladder rack and load attached thereto. The location of the attachment allows it to perform the intended function of creating an adjusted wind flow which would otherwise hit both the ladder rack and the load directly causing a drag force. The drag force results in increased fuel consumption. The attachment therefore increases the safety of the attached load, vehicle, and driver, as the load and vehicle are not jostled around by drag force caused by the wind flow.
