Abstract
Rear carrier system for a motor vehicle having two carrier receivers which are fixed to the vehicle, and having two carrier profiles which are provided on vehicle-side end regions in each case with a fastening profiling. In a ready-for-operation mounted state, each carrier profile is releasably fastened with the fastening profiling to the assigned carrier receiver. Each carrier profile is provided at a distance from the fastening profiling with a support profiling, wherein in the ready-for-operation mounted state of the carrier profiles the support profilings are positively supported against one another.
Claims13
A rear carrier system for a motor vehicle (F) having two carrier receivers (1a, 1b) which are fixed to the vehicle, and having two carrier profiles (2a, 2b), which are provided on vehicle-side end regions in each case with a fastening profiling (3a, 3b), in the ready-for-operation mounted state each carrier profile (2a, 2b) being releasably fastened thereby to the assigned carrier receiver (1a, 1b), wherein each carrier profile (2a, 2b) is provided at a distance from the fastening profiling (3a, 3b) with a support profiling (4a, 4b), wherein in the ready-for-operation mounted state of the carrier profiles (2a, 2b) the support profilings (4a, 4b) are positively supported against one another.
The rear carrier system as claimed in one of the preceding claims, wherein each carrier profile (2a, 2b) is of one-part or multi-part design.
The rear carrier system as claimed in one of the preceding claims, wherein in the ready-for-operation mounted state the two support profilings (4a, 4b) of the carrier profiles (2a, 2b) form a carrier portion (9a, 9b) for holding at least one functional component of the rear carrier system.
The rear carrier system as claimed in one of the preceding claims, wherein in the ready-for-operation mounted state the second profile limbs (6) which bear the support profilings (4a, 4b) face one another.
The rear carrier system as claimed in one of the preceding claims, wherein in the ready-for-operation mounted state the complementary support profilings (4a, 4b) overlap one another such that they form a common carrier contour for fastening a holding device for functional components of the rear carrier system.
The rear carrier system as claimed in one of the preceding claims, wherein in the ready-for-operation mounted state the support profilings (4a, 4b) engage behind one another in the vertical direction at least in some sections, forming a mutual support stop which acts in the vertical direction.
The rear carrier system as claimed in one of the preceding claims, wherein the fastening profiling (3a, 3b) of each first profile limb (5) of each carrier profile (2a, 2b) and the assigned carrier receiver (1a, 1b) which is fixed to the vehicle are designed as complementary bayonet closure portions (10, 11) of a bayonet closure arrangement which is designed such that in the ready-for-operation rotated end position of the first profile limb (5) the respective second profile limb (6) is oriented so as to be aligned with the second profile limb (6) of the respective other carrier profile (2a, 2b).
The rear carrier system as claimed in one of the preceding claims, wherein the bayonet closure portion (11) of each carrier receiver (1a, 1b) which is fixed to the vehicle is provided with an end stop which corresponds to the ready-for-operation rotated end position of the first profile limbs (5).
