  • Cargo box for insertion into the rear window of trucks
    Patent number: 5263757
    Abstract: A cargo box (10) for insertion into the rear window (12) of the cab (16) of a pickup truck (14) or the like is disclosed including an annular, flat, mounting plate (34). The outer periphery (36) of the mounting plate (34) is sized and shaped for insertion between the pair of generally straight sides (26, 28) of the U-shaped well (24) of the seal (22) for the rear window (12), with the mounting plate (34) and cargo box (10) being supported as an integral part of the cab (16) by the seal (22). A tubular neck (40) integrally extends between the inner periphery (38) of the mounting plate (34) and the inner periphery of the front end (50) of a storage enclosure (42). The cargo box (10) can be resiliently supported by a support (72) including a rigid bar (74) extending between and supported by the side rails (32) of the truck box (18). A spool-shaped, elastomeric bushing (86) is secured to the rigid bar (74) and abuts with the bottom (46) of the storage enclosure (42).

  • Cotton module transport processes
    Patent number: 4419042
    Abstract: A tiltable bed is provided with a set of toothed chains and a control system therefor so that the chains are moved along the length of the bed at a linear speed which corresponds to the linear speed of movement of the bed relative to the ground and independent of the rate of movement of ground engaging means directed to move that bed along the ground: thereby there is no strain put on a cotton module engaged and caused to traverse the length of such bed by those moving chains while being lifted or lowered during adverse traction conditions.
