An article carrier for a motor vehicle having a- cross bar with a pair of end supports at each end, where each end support can be simultaneously locked or unlocked by lifting an actuating member of either end support. A principal advantage of the construction of the end supports is that the actuating member thereof can be urged between its locked and unlocked positions without protruding significantly from the end support; and therefore without requiring a significant degree of clearance between the end support and the outer body surface of the vehicle. Thus, the cross bar can be placed closer to the outer body surface of the vehicle while still allowing the actuating member of each end, support to be articulated between its locked and unlocked positions.

Il s'agit d'un porte-objets pour véhicule pourvu d'une barre de retenue transversale dont chaque extrémité est munie d'un mécanisme de verrouillage. Les mécanismes de verrouillage des deux extrémités peuvent être verrouillés ou déverrouillés simultanément par relevage de la tige de manoeuvre de chaque mécanisme de verrouillage. Le principal avantage de la conception des mécanismes de verrouillage de chacune des extrémités de la barre de retenue est que leur tige de manoeuvre peut être déplacée rapidement de la position de verrouillage à la position de déverrouillage sans faire saillie démesurément par rapport à la surface de la barre et, donc, sans qu'il ne soit nécessaire de laisser un dégagement important entre le porte-objets et le toit du véhicule. Par conséquent, le porte-objets peut être installé près de la surface du toit du véhicule sans que cela ne nuise à la manipulation de la tige de manoeuvre des mécanismes de verrouillage de la barre de retenue.
