CA 2142782

An attachment device for securing a utility rack or the like to an elongated bar provided typically on the rooftop of a vehicle comprises a flexible elongated strap and a tightening mechanism for the flexible strap. The tightening mechanism is encased in a housing of the utility rack and the flexible strap is adapted to be disposed around the elongated bar and to form a closed loop therearound. The tightening mechanism is operable to reduce or increase the dimensions of the loop, whereby a user of the utility rack can firmly secure the utility rack to the elongated bar by operating the tightening mechanism in such a way that the elongated bar becomes solidly secured within the loop formed by the flexible strap. The tightening mechanism includes a screw mounted in the housing and a pulling plate threadably mounted to the screw and adapted upon a rotation of the screw to displace translationally along the screw. The strap includes an opening with the screw extending therethrough such that a displacement of the plate upon a rotation of the screw causes the dimensions of the loop outside of the housing to be selectively reduced or increased for gradually and respectively tightening or loosening the utility rack with respect to the elongated member.
