  • Patent number: 6158638
    Abstract: A vehicle roof rack including spaced stationary supports carries cargo which may be loaded or unloaded from either side of the vehicle merely by unlocking a single lock and longitudinally sliding upper elongated cargo supports respectively connected to each of the stationary supports laterally toward and away from a desired side of the vehicle so that the elongated cargo support can also be moved and pivoted in parallel vertical planes to load or unload cargo from the chosen side of the vehicle. An single ink and two guide saddles connect and guide each cargo support relative to the associated stationary support.

  • Patent number: 6113179
    Abstract: A vehicle security enclosure kit consists of a readily removable L-shaped storage area enclosure panel, mounting platforms and fasteners to connect the platforms to an open deck vehicle and fasteners to connect the panel to the platforms. When the panel is mounted, a security enclosure is created between the back seat, side walls, deck, and tailgate of the vehicle. The L-shaped storage area enclosure panel consists of a top horizontal panel and a bottom vertical panel. The horizontal panel is mounted onto the platforms and the vertical panel extends from the horizontal panel at an angle such that it is parallel to the back seat. The security enclosure can be easily removed upon release of wing nuts that are connected between the security enclosure and the side wall mount platform. In addition, since the mounting hardware is only accessible from within the security enclosure, screws and wing nuts can be used to connect the platforms to the side walls as well as the panels to the platforms.
