Abstract:
The invention relates to a lift system to selectively raise and lower an interchangeable load carrier, such as a bike rack, luggage rack, ski rack, etc., to and from the roof of a vehicle to the ground. The lift system is capable of creating a clearance, either vertically or horizontally, between the roof of a vehicle and the load carrier. As a result, the load carrier can be lowered and raised without hitting the vehicle. The lift system may also be provided with a series of actuators that are configured for synchronized rotation in order to keep the load carrier in a constant orientation as it is raised and lowered to and from the vehicle.

Claim (Index 36):
The method of  claim 33 , wherein the second member comprises a plurality of arms hingedly attached to one another and each end of each of the plurality of arms is attached to an actuator,\n wherein the step of creating or eliminating a clearance further comprises the step of moving the plurality of arms relative to each other, thereby increasing or decreasing the overall length of the lift arm.
