Abstract
The invention contemplates a rack construction as for carrying skis or the like on the roof or other exterior part of a vehicle. Plural pairs of skis are vertically clamped, back-to-back, by like pairs of relatively movable upstanding post members and a single lockable means carried by the rack is operative to selectively hold or to release a control member for releasing all post pairs in unison. The respective posts of each pair are capable of limited longitudinal displaceability and limited pivotal action, and the lockable actuator is operated to determine whether or not the posts of each pair are to be permitted their pivoted action.
