Latest Patents
Krebs is credited with 1 patent: “Transverse Beam for Loads, Particularly Roof Loads on a Motor Vehicle.” The invention is intended for vehicles equipped with roof rails. Clamping jaws at each end of the beam tighten around the roof-rail spars, helping prevent the beam from shifting during acceleration or deceleration. A friction brake sits in a recess in at least one clamping jaw and presses against a spar. Its molded body may be made of hard rubber or durable plastic, while the recess’s angled bottom helps the brake engage securely as the vehicle accelerates.

The available information connects Krebs’s inventive work with Happich Fahrzeug-Dachsysteme GmbH and vehicle roof-load systems. His patent addresses the practical challenge of keeping a roof-mounted transverse beam securely positioned under changing driving forces.
Collaborations
Hans-Helmut Mieglitz and Werner Reinl are identified as Krebs’s coworkers. The available details do not specify their roles in developing or patenting the transverse beam.
Conclusion
Hans U. Krebs’s recorded patent presents a clamping and friction-brake design intended to improve the stability of transverse beams mounted on vehicle roof rails.
