Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a load carrier for a vehicle having a lid and a base connected along at least one edge by at least one hinge. The at least one hinge includes a first connection member and a second connection member. The first connection member is configured to be pivotably connected to the base or lid at a first proximal end, by a first pivotable connection, and the hinge is releasably connected to the base or lid via the first pivotable connection by a lock member. The second connection member is connected to the other one of the base or lid at a second proximal end. The hinge is configured such that when the lid is opened by pivoting the first connection member with respect to the pivot axle, a distance between the first proximal end and the second proximal end increases.

Abstract: A child carrier with a carrying structure having a front portion and a rear portion. Between the front portion and the rear portion an accommodating space is defined between which a seating unit may be suspended. The seating unit forms a shell-like seat structure. At least one portion of the seat structure is cup-shaped. The seating unit also includes a height-adjustable seat middle portion. The seat middle portion is designed to support a child at a predetermined seat height. The seating unit also includes thigh support portions. The thigh support portions each provide a thigh support surface for a respective thigh of a child. The thigh support portions are coupled to the seat middle portion in such a way that an adjustment of the seat height simultaneously results in an adjustment of the thigh support surface.

The first mounting head and the second mounting head are configured to be removably released from the track by rotating the first twist bracket and the second twist bracket, respectively.

Abstract: Disclosed is a coupling member fixable to an end portion of a crossbar member. The coupling member includes at least two elongate coupling segments configured to be at least partially inserted in longitudinally extending interior spaces of the crossbar member wherein the interior spaces are separated by a common interior wall. Two adjacent coupling segments of the at least two elongate coupling segments are fixedly coupled to each other by means of a coupling portion. The coupling portion is configured to hold the elongate coupling segments at a predetermined distance with respect to each other to define a receiving space between the adjacent elongate coupling segments. The receiving space is configured for receiving a portion of the interior wall of the crossbar member.

Abstract: A support assembly for securing a load carrier to a bed structure of a vehicle includes a clamp assembly and a tensioning device. The clamp assembly for clamping the load carrier to the bed structure of the vehicle includes a first jaw member and a second jaw member opposite the first jaw member. The second jaw member includes a first hook member and a second hook member opposite the first hook member. The first hook member has a first concave portion facing towards the first jaw member. The second hook member has a second concave portion facing away from the first jaw member. The clamp assembly is attachable to a plurality of different vehicle bed structures. The tensioning device is coupled to the clamp assembly and is configured to tighten the clamp assembly.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to bicycle transport bags with a cover. The bicycle transport bag is adjustable between a transport configuration and a collapsed configuration. The cover has a bottom portion and a side portion extending upwardly away from the bottom portion. The side portion includes a first rigid plate and a second rigid plate connected together by a hinge. The side member is collapsible along the film hinge for adjustment from the transport configuration to the collapsed configuration. In addition, this disclosure relates to bicycle transport bags including a wrapping device. The wrapping device is configured to at least partially wrap a frame received in the interior space. The wrapping device is fixedly connected to the cover for the wrapping. In addition, the disclosure relates to a headset protection device having a fastening device for retaining a bicycle fork in a head tube.

Abstract: Disclosed is a bike trailer having a main frame and a seat structure. The main frame defines an accommodating space for a passenger or load to be transported. The seat structure is transferable between an operational state in which the seat structure forms a seating area for the passenger, and a stowed state in which the seat structure is folded away thereby allowing the transport of loads other than passengers. The seat structure comprises a backrest portion with a seating side for at least partially contacting the back of a passenger. The backrest portion is accommodatable in the bike trailer such that at least the seating side of the backrest portion is protected against contact with loads to be carried when the seat structure is in the stowed state.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a roof rack load carrying bar having a channel for receiving at least one mounting member for attaching a load carrying bar accessory to the load carrying bar, the channel extending at least partly in a length direction of the load carrying bar, a first and a second cover extending in the length direction of the load carrying bar and being arranged for sealing the channel from an external environment, the first cover being attached to the load carrying bar via a first attachment interface provided at a first side of the channel, the second cover being attached to the load carrying bar via a second attachment interface provided at a second side of the channel, wherein the first and the second attachment interface being asymmetrical with respect to each other.

Abstract: A bicycle carrier includes a base configured to support a bicycle, a wheel securement arm, and a connection assembly. The wheel securement arm has a free end and a fixed end. The fixed end is rotatably coupled to the base. The connection assembly is coupled to the wheel securement arm and fixed to the base. The connection assembly is configured to rotate the wheel securement arm about the base.
