Patent attributes
The present invention provides, in at least one embodiment, a vehicle roof rack for a sports utility vehicle or another tall vehicle. The rack attaches to the vehicle's roof by way of a base. The rack uses one or more carriers attached to the rack's base, along with removably attachable racks, to hold one or more rooftop objects such as sporting goods, boxes, surfboards, etc., on the roof of the vehicle during operation of the vehicle. The base controllably and safely delivers, and returns, the carriers and objects from the roof to a user working height, such as the chest level of the driver, to the driver or passenger sides of the car and nearby the sides of the car, such that the user can load and unload safely without climbing on the vehicle or going into traffic.
