Disclosed is a coupling member fixable to an end portion of a crossbar member. The coupling member includes at least two elongate coupling segments configured to be at least partially inserted in longitudinally extending interior spaces of the crossbar member wherein the interior spaces are separated by a common interior wall. Two adjacent coupling segments of the at least two elongate coupling segments are fixedly coupled to each other by means of a coupling portion. The coupling portion is configured to hold the elongate coupling segments at a predetermined distance with respect to each other to define a receiving space between the adjacent elongate coupling segments. The receiving space is configured for receiving a portion of the interior wall of the crossbar member.

A load carrier foot for attaching a load carrier bar to a vehicle and a roof rack having the load carrier foot. The load carrier foot includes a body having a support surface, where the support surface is adapted to rest against a first portion of the vehicle, and a bracket having an aperture adapted to grip about a second portion of the vehicle. An attachment arrangement provides a clamping force between the support surface of the body and the bracket. The bracket includes an aperture adapted to permit the attachment arrangement to be positioned between two positions to enable an easy mounting and dismounting of the load carrier foot.

Load carrier foot and a roof rack

The present invention relates to a vehicle rack arrangement () comprises a load carrying bar (and at least a first clamp rack load carrier foot (). The first clamp rack load carrier foot () comprises a grip member (), a body (), an attachment arrangement () and optionally an intermediate member (). The load carrier foot () comprises a connection arrangement () which interacts with a stop surface () of a load carrying bar () in a retaining manner to thereby, when operating the attachment arrangement (), impart a force component to the load carrying bar () towards the body (). A stop surface () of the load carrying bar () prevents the connection arrangement () from displacement in a direction parallel with the longitudinal direction (X) of the load carrying bar (), after assembly therewith. The present invention provides for a load carrier foot () having very few distinct components, which is cheap to manufacture and which enables an end user to connect the clamp rack load carrier foot () to a load carrying bar () in a simple and easy manner.
