Definitions

• the present invention relates to a screw cap, which enables to conceal the connecting screws, and provides mounting ease and can be easily disassembled and does not cause problems such as being easily displaced, falling and getting lost.
• Plugs are mounted on the screws that are fitted to the said holes to provide an aesthetically acceptable appearance.
• the plug mounted on the screw By means of the plug mounted on the screw, the stylistic integrity of the roof rack is ensured. An aesthetically pleasant appearance is achieved with the plug.
• the plugs applied on the screws mounted in the roof rack assembly easily get displaced and lost due to vibration or environmental conditions.
• the objective of the present invention is to provide a screw cap which can be easily mounted and removed by the operator.
• Another objective of the present invention is to provide a screw cap which covers the hole and does not get displaced due to impacts such as vibration.
• Figure 1 is a perspective view of the double-sided lug system.
• Figure 2. is a side sectional view of the double-sided lug system on the roof rack.
• Figure 3. is a perspective sectional view of the double-sided lug system on the roof rack.
• the screw cap (1) which enables to conceal the connecting screws, and provides mounting ease and can be easily disassembled and does not cause problems such as being easily displaced, falling and getting lost, essentially comprises at least one connection housing (2) which is connected to the vehicle roof by the help of connecting members,
• connection housing (2) at least one roof rack (3) which is placed on the connection housing (2), at least one hole (31) provided on the roof rack (3) such that it is concentric with the point where the connection housing (2) is connected to the vehicle roof by means of the connecting members,
• At least one first surface (41) which is located on one end of the body (4), at least one first resilient piece (42) extending from the first surface (41) along the body (4),
• first lug (43) which is positioned on the first resilient piece (42), at least one second surface (44) which is located on the other end of the body
• At least one second resilient piece (45) extending from the second surface (44) along the body (4) such that it is symmetrical to the first resilient piece (42), at least one second lug (46) which is positioned on the second resilient piece (45).
• connection housing (2) which is connected to the vehicle roof by the help of the connecting members, and a roof rack (3) is placed on the connection housing (2).
• a hole (31) is drilled on the roof rack (3), and said hole (31) is concentric with the point at which the connection housing (2) is connected to the vehicle roof by means of the connecting members.
• a hollow cylindrical body (4) is passed through the hole (31).
• the disc-shaped surface of the cylindrical body (4) is the first surface (41).
• One end of the first resilient member (42) contacts the first surface (41) but the other end is free, and can thus stretch from the side surface of the body (4) into or out of the body (4).
• a first lug (43) is positioned on the first resilient piece (42).
• the first lug (43) is positioned such that it faces the outer surface of the body (4).
• On the other end of the body (4) there is provided an arrow-shaped second surface (44).
• the second surface (44) is located at the other end of the hole (31).
• One end of the second resilient member (45) contacts the second surface (44) but the other end is free, and can thus stretch from the side surface of the body (4) into or out of the body (4).
• a second lug (46) is positioned on the second resilient piece (45). The second lug (46) is positioned such that it faces the outer surface of the body (4).
• the body (4) is prevented from coming out of the hole (31) due to the vibration occurring when the vehicle is moving. This is because the first lug (43) prevents the body (4) from getting out from one end of the hole (31), while the second lug (46) prevents the body (4) from getting out from the other end of the hole (31).
• the first resilient piece (42) and the second resilient piece (45) provided on the body (4) allow the operator to easily remove the screw cap (1) from the hole (31). This way, a screw cap (1) is realized which provides mounting ease and can be easily disassembled and does not cause problems such as being easily displaced, falling and getting lost.
