Abstract:
Disclosed is a load carrier foot for supporting a load bar on a vehicle. The load carrier foot comprises a supporting member mountable to the load bar, a coupling member for coupling the load carrier foot to the vehicle and a tightening mechanism for tightening the coupling member. The tightening mechanism force transmittingly the couples the coupling member with the supporting member by a force distribution member. The force distribution member is configured to transfer a received input force on at least two force application sections while being translatory movably held with respect to each force application section.
