Abstract:
A semi-rigid rooftop cargo carrier and method employing straightfront and streamlined steps for its assembly and disassembly provided by its innovative configuration of a collapsible frame including at least two elongate side members preferably equipped with extendible push bars (“EPB”) each having a first and second side arm member and EPB securing mechanism engagable for abutted lengthwise alignment whereby extending the elongate member exerts opposing pressure onto end members to simultaneously push the collapsible frame and mount the external waterproof pliable shell thereon in an assembled position and also readily disaasembled without tools or loose components into a light, compact, easy-to-store configuration.

Claim (Index 11):
A semi-rigid cargo carrier comprising:\n a collapsible frame having\n at least two end members including an upper longitudinal bar and a lower longitudinal bar connected by at least two opposing cross bars to form upper corners and lower corners along a substantially planar orientation at a substantially perpendicular or slightly obtuse angle with the upper and lower longitudinal bars connected in perpendicular orientation to at least two opposing elongate side members comprising a first side arm member and a second side arm member having a fastenable ends for abutted engagement in an EPB securing mechanism to extend the at least two elongate side members into extended alignment \n at least two opposing elongate side members each of which include a first side arm member having a pivot end and a fastenable end and a second side arm member having a pivot end and a fastenable end, wherein the pivot ends of the at least two elongate side members are pivotally connected to corresponding upper corners of the two end members; an EPB securing mechanism on a fastenable end of each of the first side arm members, wherein the EPB is capable of detachably fastening the fastenable ends of the first side arm members and the fastenable ends of the second side arm members in secured abutted engagement such that the at least two elongate side members are extended into linear longitudinal alignment; a pliable shell sized and configured for tensionable mounting about the collapsible frame such that outward pressure exerted by the at least two elongate side members engages with corresponding upper corners of the at least two end members pivots the at least two end members into an assembled position and thereby mounts the pliable shell into taut alignment whereby the opposing force exerted between the pliable shell and the collapsible frame sets the semi-rigid cargo carrier in an assembled position; at least two closeable side openings oriented in the pliable shell for accessing the first side arm member and second side arm member to thereby engage the EPB securing mechanism so as to position corresponding fastenable ends of the second side arm members of each of the elongate side members in abutted alignment whereby outward pressure exerted by the at least two elongate side members on each of the pivot ends of the at least two elongate side members pivot the end members to thereby push the collapsible frame in the assembled position.
