Abstract: A wedge-shaped trailer tailgate providing a loading ramp and a planar surface in combination with the trailer deck when the tailgate is in its transport position. A planar deck is better for cargo hauling, but also provides little wind resistance for improved hauling efficiency. The wedge shape with elastic bumpers attached provides for support on loading heavy objects such as motorcycles. Taillights are recessed into the thick end of the wedge-shaped trailer tailgate so they face backward when the tailgate is in its transport position and are shielded under the trailer deck when the tailgate is in its loading-ramp position.

Abstract translation: 一种楔形拖车尾门，当尾门处于运输位置时，提供一个装载斜坡和一个与拖车甲板组合的平面。 平面甲板更适合货物运输，但也提供很小的风阻，以提高牵引效率。 连接有弹性缓冲器的楔形形状用于在重载物件（如摩托车）上进行支撑。 尾灯凹入楔形拖车尾门的厚端，因此当后挡板处于其运​​输位置时，当后挡板处于其加载斜坡位置时，它们将被遮挡在拖车甲板下方。

Abstract: A cargo bed with multiple access points. The cargo bed comprises a front member, a back member, a cargo floor, and a pair of side members that move to allow access to the cargo floor from nearly all sides so as to allow a member access to the cargo floor from the sides of the cargo bed. The side members may rotate about an axis horizontal to the cargo floor, roll on a set of rails with an axis vertical to the cargo floor, open about an axis vertical to the cargo floor, or be removable. The cargo bed may further comprise receiving beams for receiving the side members and holding them in a closed position, or the receiving beams may be integrally built into the front, back, or side members.

Abstract: This invention submission pertains to the automotive industry, specifically for Pickup Trucks. This invention is for any pickup truck or vehicle with a tailgate. The newly designed tailgate folds forward and lays into a 2″-3″ recessed area of the pickup truck bed. The idea of this invention has many positives. The new design eliminates any blind spots behind the vehicle, increasing the drivers visibility and safety and also increases fuel economy since there is no wind resistance from the tailgate being in the closed position and easier loading and unloading capabilities. The Safety Travel Tailgate can be offered in a manual or automatic model. In addition to the redesign of the tailgate, The Eagle Eye Perfect View Mirror contains both a normal traffic vision, and downward angle vision, which increases the vision behind the vehicle, without having to adjust the mirror.

Abstract translation: 本发明涉及汽车行业，专门用于皮卡车。 本发明适用于具有后挡板的任何皮卡车或车辆。 新设计的后挡板向前折叠，放置在皮卡车床的2“-3”凹陷区域。 本发明的想法有很多的积极性。 新设计消除了车辆后面的任何盲点，增加了驾驶员的可视性和安全性，并且还增加了燃油经济性，因为后挡板处于关闭位置没有风阻，并且更容易的装卸能力。 安全旅行尾门可以手动或自动模式提供。 除了重新设计后挡板之外，“鹰眼完美视镜”还包含正常的交通视野和向下的视角，从而增加车辆后视力，无需调整镜面。

Abstract: A method and apparatus for coupling a vehicle body panel partition for pivotal movement between an upright and a retracted position. A mounting includes hinge sets formed from two hinge leafs, each hinge leaf being used to retain one of the alternate ends of the torsion rod pin extending through aligned pivot portions on each pin leaf. Preferably, each hinge set is integrally formed with the torsion pin by retainers holding ends of the torsion pin with respect to each of the leafs. In the preferred embodiment, a return bent end of the torsion pin is received in an extended support member while the other end is retained in a returned bent portion of the second leaf, each end extending in a radial direction aligned at an angle to the direction of the other end.

Abstract: A device in which an auxiliary force is applied to a loading deck side plate of a truck to reduce the force required for opening and closing the side plate. A spring is provided on the underside of the loading deck to pull a rod substantially horizontally. A swing link is provided below a side end portion of the loading deck, and the tip of the swing link and an outer surface of the side plate are connected together through a connecting link in such a manner that the tip of the swing link points obliquely upward or downward when the side plate is closed or fully open, respectively. The tip of the rod and an intermediate portion of the swing link are connected together through an intermediate link. The underside of the intermediate link is brought into contact with a roller, or a link roller is provided on the underside of the intermediate link and is contacted with a rail member; thereby changing the direction and magnitude of the spring force exerted on the swing link, to obtain a desired auxiliary force varying characteristic. Since such a large-sized bell crank contained in the prior art is not used, the vertical size of the portion located inside the swing link can be reduced.
