Abstract
A load carrier foot includes a support body having a support surface configured to rest against a first surface of a vehicle, a first bracket configured to grip about a second surface of the vehicle, a second bracket configured to grip about a third surface of the vehicle, and a tensioning arrangement configured to impart a clamping force at between the support surface and the first and the second brackets to retain the load carrier foot to the vehicle. The first and the second brackets are pivotally connected to each other. A load carrying foot according to the present invention has relatively few components while still providing a rigid and strong connection to the vehicle.
