Load rod for vehicles

A load rod for vehicles, comprising

• at least two individual shaped rod members, each of said rod members having a rod loop portion, and force distributing leg means diverging outwardly from said rod loop portion,
• mounting means provided on each of the force distributing means for enabling a mounting of the load rod on a body portion of the vehicle,
• each of the individual rod members joined in an area of the respective rod loop portions along a predetermined connecting line,
• the force distributing leg means diverge outwardly from both sides of the predetermined connecting line,
• each of the individual shaped rod members bent in such a way that, in a side view, the rod members have one of a substantially U-shaped configuration and a substantially trapezoidal configuration, and
• a cross bar means for defining each rod loop portion and for connecting the force distributing leg means to each other, the cross bar means extending substantially transversely to the respective force distributing leg means.
