Abstract
A luggage rack for an automotive vehicle comprising a pair of side rails adapted to be mounted on the roof of an automotive vehicle in laterally spaced apart relation. Each rail has an elongated channel extending lengthwise thereof. One or more cross members extend between the rails and have stanchions at the ends slidably engaged in the channels. A lock member is mounted in a recess in each stanchion. Each lock member has a locking pin engageable in any one of a line of apertures formed in the associated side rail. Each lock member is spring-pressed to a position in which the locking pin engages one of the apertures. Each lock member has a button accessible through an opening in the stanchion which may be pressed to withdraw the pin from an aperture and permit the cross member to be adjusted lengthwise of the rails.
