Abstract:
The embodiments herein are directed to a reusable frameless vehicle roof-top carrier configured, dimensioned and arranged to securely mount and carry cargo loads having a size and shape similar to cut evergreen trees, while protecting the vehicle finish and cargo from damage. The reusable vehicle roof-top carrier is trapezoidal shaped to conveniently bind and condense branches of the tree, while catching sap drippings. Illustratively, the vehicle roof-top carrier is made from a tear-resistant fabric and includes a non-tacky non-slip surface placed in slip-resistant contact with the roof of the vehicle so as to prevent slippage (i.e., movement) of the tree during transport.

Claim (Index 12):
A vehicle roof-top carrier comprising:\n a tear-resistant fabric having leading and trailing edges, wherein all edges of the fabric have rolled and sewn seams; first a strap attached to an exterior side of the fabric and having a first connector at one end, the first strap configured to wrap around a cargo load and connect to a second connector attached to the interior side of the fabric; a second strap looped around the cargo load in direction opposite to that of the first strap and attached to interior side of the fabric and having a third connector at one end, the second strap configured to wrap around the cargo load and connect to fourth connect attached to the exterior side of the fabric, wherein the cargo load is a tree; a strip of non-slip material included on the exterior side of the fabric perpendicular to the leading and trailing edges in a center of the fabric; and third and fourth straps configured to pass through a plurality of loops in the exterior side of the fabric such that the loops are at a vertical apex when the cargo load is wrapped in the fabric, a first loop at a predetermined first distance from the leading edge to provide a downward force on the non-slip strip against a countervailing aerodynamic force sufficient to prevent slippage when the roof-top carrier is mounted on a traveling vehicle.
