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 18):
The method for assembling a semi-rigid cargo carrier of  claim 16 , wherein the step of fastening the EPB securing mechanism comprises the steps of:\n providing an EPB securing mechanism comprising a channel portion affixed to the fastenable end of the first side arm member of each of the elongate side members configured for receiving the corresponding fastenable ends of the second side arm member of each of the elongate side members; providing a spring button proximal to a fastenable end of each of the second side arm members for engaging corresponding fastenable ends of the first side arm members and fastenable ends of the second side arm member into abutted extended alignment; depressing the spring buttons proximal to the fastenable ends of the second side arm members of each of the elongate side members to clear passage of fastenable ends of the first side arm member for receiving the corresponding fastenable ends of the second side arm member; inserting the fastenable end of each of the second side arm members of each of the elongate side members into corresponding channel portions of each of the EPB securing mechanisms affixed to the fastenable ends of the first side arm member of each of the elongate side members; and engaging corresponding fastenable ends of each of the first side arm members of each of the elongate side members to secure the spring button within corresponding channel portions of each of the EPB securing mechanisms so as to secure each of the elongate side members into extended, aligned position, thereby pushing the corner fasteners so as to set the the collapsible frame upright and thereby mount the pliable shell thereon such that the semi-rigid cargo carrier is placed in the assembled position.
