Abstract:

A utility shelf mounted inside the cargo area of a pickup truck equipped with a camper shell. The utility shelf spans across the width of the camper shell resting on the base mounting flanges of the camper shell. The utility shelf has a flat rectangular shelf panel with forward and aft support rails to support objects being transported. Shelf panels are mounted low on the support rails creating a raised edge to keep items in place. Support rails and shelf panel are hinged at midpoint thereby allowing utility shelf to be lifted in the center to fold in half for removal and stowage. Each support rail hinge incorporates a concealed stop to keep the shelf flat when deployed. Support rail hinges are designed to reduce the possibility of pinched fingers while deploying. The ends of each support rail incorporate a tool free adjustable extender to allow for proper fit.
