Abstract:

A mounting system for a conventional tailgate of a pick-up truck is capable of situating the tailgate so as to minimize drag and at the same time provide effective use of the tailgate. Two mounting brackets are each structured to include a base for being mounted upon the top end of a respective sidewall of a pick-up truck cargo bed. Each of the mounting brackets is further structured with a particular fitting for interfacing with reciprocably shaped fittings on the tailgate to removably secure, in a selectively lockable manner, the tailgate to the fittings, in the same manner that the tailgate conventionally attaches to the conventional fittings located at the inside wall of the sidewalls of the pick-up truck.

Abstract:

A toy building assembly for providing means of creating a variety of structures includes a plurality of elements. Each element comprises a plurality of first slats, which has a plurality of second slats engaged thereto. The first slats and the second slats are layered in a 1:2 ratio thereof to define two sets of second slats. Each set of second slats extends from a respective opposed end of the plurality of first slats to define a respective terminal connector. The sets of second slats have a gap positioned therebetween to define a medial connector. A respective terminal connector of one of the elements is selectively insertable into at least one of a terminal connector and a medial connector of at least one other of the elements. The elements of the plurality of elements thus are interconnectable to create a wide variety of structures.
