Abstract:

The vehicle bed extender internally mounted modifies the open flat tailgate of a pickup truck or other vehicle, effectively lengthening the bed of the vehicle or truck. Three pieces of plate steel pivot upon hinges from within a tailgate to a vertical orientation. When upright, two sides or pieces pivot outwards and flank the main piece. The sides secure to the edge of the tailgate with clasps. With the extender open and secured, a truck bed carries more or lengthier cargo. After use, the sides swing beneath the panel and the panel folds into the interior of the tailgate. Alternatively, the extender attaches directly upon the inside surface of the tailgate.

Abstract:

A compartmentalized truck box for trucks that has independently sliding drawers to store tools. The drawers slide on metal rails, allowing access to the tools from the front of the truck box. The sliding drawers are secured in place with a metal shield called a protection panel. The protection panel protects the drawers from theft and damage from material loaded into the truck bed. The protection panel pivots on a hinge mounted on the top ledge of the front of the truck box. When tools are needed, the protection panel swings upward, resting on the inside of the main truck box's side compartment ledges. When finished, the protection panel swings downward, locking into the main truck box. Furthermore, the drawers in their closed position are protected inside the truck box with metal, separating them from the inside of the box; therefore, creating storage area behind the drawers for larger tools.
