ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A load carrier for a vehicle is provided with a strut (1) dis- posed transversely over the roof (6) of the vehicle, and with a foot member (2) in each end. The foot members are provided with a support member (3) and a gripping member (4) which, by means of an operating device (20, 21), are mountable against edge portions (5, 6) of the vehicle roof, for fixedly securing the load carrier. In order to render such fixed securement extra reliable, both the support member (3) and the gripping member (4) are disposed on a pivotal arm (17) which, by means of a pivot (16), is fixedly secured in an upper portion of the foot member (2). The arm (17) is pivotal with its lower portion in towards the centre of the vehicle so that both the under gripping portion (19) of the gripping member (43 and the sup- port member (3) accompany the arm in this movement. At the same time, the gripping member (4) is slidable along a sliding surface (18) on the arm (17) in a direction upwardly and inwardly for dis- placement of the gripping portion (19) towards the support member (3). Both the movement of the arm (17) and the sliding movement of the gripping member (4) are realised by the operating device (20, 21). Publication figure: Fig. 1
