A crossbar-to-vehicle coupler may include one or more locking pins operatively connected to a pivoting cover, such that moving the cover from an open to a closed position causes the locking pins to engage corresponding recesses in a base portion fixed to a vehicle rooftop. The coupler may include a
A crossbar-to-vehicle coupler may include one or more locking pins operatively connected to a pivoting cover, such that moving the cover from an open to a closed position causes the locking pins to engage corresponding recesses in a base portion fixed to a vehicle rooftop. The coupler may include a selectable pitch interface for adjusting the pitch angle of the crossbar with respect to the coupler and/or a vehicle on which the coupler is mounted. An actuator of the coupler may convert motion of a tightening screw oriented parallel to the crossbar axis into a clamp tightening force oriented orthogonal to the crossbar axis. The tightening screw may be inaccessible when the cover of the coupler is in the closed position.
1. A rack for carrying cargo on top of a vehicle, the rack comprising: a crossbar; anda coupler configured to mount an end portion of the crossbar on top of a vehicle, the coupler including a vehicle interface for releasably securing the coupler to the vehicle, the vehicle interface including: a bas
1. A rack for carrying cargo on top of a vehicle, the rack comprising: a crossbar; anda coupler configured to mount an end portion of the crossbar on top of a vehicle, the coupler including a vehicle interface for releasably securing the coupler to the vehicle, the vehicle interface including: a base portion having one or more recesses and a fastening mechanism configured to affix the base portion to the vehicle, anda body portion having a pivotable cover operatively connected to one or more extendable locking pins that move axially in a direction parallel to the direction of vehicle travel, into engagement with the one or more recesses in the base portion when the cover moves from an open position to a closed position, anda crossbar interface for releasably securing the crossbar to the coupler, the crossbar interface including: a removable crossbar clamp having a crossbar seat and a crossbar connector configured to capture the crossbar and movable relative to the crossbar seat, anda crossbar clamp actuator operatively connected to the crossbar connector and configured to urge the crossbar connector downward, such that the crossbar is secured onto the crossbar seat. 2. The rack of claim 1, wherein the crossbar clamp actuator is connected to the crossbar connector by an attachment bolt having a substantially vertical orientation. 3. The rack of claim 1, wherein the crossbar clamp actuator includes a clamp tightening screw having a substantially horizontal orientation. 4. The rack of claim 1, the crossbar clamp further comprising a first mating surface receivable on a second mating surface of the coupler body in a plurality of orientations, each of the orientations corresponding to a different respective angle of the crossbar relative to the coupler. 5. The rack of claim 4, wherein the coupler is transitionable between a first clamped configuration, in which the first mating surface is secured in a first of the orientations and the crossbar is clamped to the coupler at a first angle, and a second clamped configuration, in which the first mating surface is secured in a second of the orientations and the crossbar is clamped to the coupler at a second angle. 6. The rack of claim 4, wherein the first mating surface includes a convex portion having a first plurality of teeth, and the second mating surface includes a concave portion having a second plurality of teeth. 7. A rack for carrying cargo on top of a vehicle, the rack comprising: a crossbar having a long axis; anda coupler configured to mount an end portion of the crossbar on top of a vehicle, the coupler including a vehicle interface for releasably securing the coupler to the vehicle, the vehicle interface including: a base portion having one or more recesses and a fastening mechanism configured to affix the base portion to the vehicle,a body portion having a pivotable cover operatively connected to one or more locking pins that move into engagement with the one or more recesses in the base portion when the cover moves from an open position to a closed position, anda crossbar interface for releasably securing the crossbar to the coupler, the crossbar interface including: a crossbar clamp configured to engage the crossbar, anda crossbar clamp actuator operatively connected to the crossbar clamp, a clamp tightening screw of the crossbar clamp actuator having a length that is substantially parallel to the long axis of the crossbar. 8. The rack of claim 7, wherein the clamp tightening screw is accessible when the cover is in the open position, and inaccessible when the cover is in the closed position. 9. The rack of claim 7, wherein the cover pivots on an axis transverse to the long axis of the crossbar. 10. The rack of claim 7, the crossbar clamp comprising a crossbar seat and a crossbar connector configured to capture the crossbar, the actuator being configured to urge the crossbar connector toward the crossbar seat. 11. The rack of claim 7, wherein the tightening screw is substantially horizontal and the crossbar clamp actuator is configured to urge a portion of the clamp in a substantially vertical direction.
