A vehicle-top carrier for articles, such as skis and other equipment, has a housing with opposite ends which are shaped symmetrically with respect to a central transverse axis. The opposite ends are also tapered to form symmetrical drag-reducing profiles. The housing has a recloseable opening along one of its longitudinal sides. The housing can be mounted atop the vehicle with the recloseable opening on either side of the vehicle while, always keeping one of the tapered ends pointing aerodynamically toward the vehicle front.

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 12, 1994. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended October 12, 2014.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 12, 2016.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
