  • Patent number: 6866316
    Abstract: Vehicle pull out drawer frame mounting system can include an angled bracket having a first end and a second and which projects substantially normal to the first end, the first ends each having a fastener-receiving hole. The angled bracket can be employed as a mediating bracket in combination with a stationary frame for a vehicle pull out drawer device or system, which includes a cross-member that can receive the first end of the angled bracket and accommodate fastening of the bracket through a fastener that is received by the fastener-receiving hole of the first end of the bracket. The combination can be fastened to a cargo area of a vehicle that has a wall defining a boundary of the cargo area that can receive a fastener which fastens the mediating, angled bracket through the fastener-receiving hole of the second end of the bracket.

  • Patent number: 6712415
    Abstract: An easy to install pull out cargo-carrying tray frame device includes a stationary frame to which is attached a wedgeable attachment member that can be employed to secure the stationary frame to a cargo area of a vehicle or trailer. The device can be part of an extendible drawer or tray device, and can be especially adaptable for a pickup truck. An extension can extend laterally from the stationary frame, to which the wedgeable attachment member can be attached, so that the stationary frame can be secured to the cargo area, and the wedgeable attachment member can be vertically oriented and extensible. The lateral extension member can have a sliding-interlocking relationship with an engagement member to which the wedgeable attachment member can be adjustably attached. Alternatively, the wedgeable attachment member can extend in a horizontal direction to engage and be wedged between side walls of the vehicle or trailer cargo area. A plurality of wedgeable attachment members can be present.
