  • Patent number: 11738692
    Abstract: A set of adjustable side mount legs attach bed-side side-mount truck bed toolbox or similar container to most any truckbed configuration. A center section of the legs, which is adjustable in length, extends between two pivotally attached mounting brackets. The center section can be formed by two telescoping tubes, at least one of which has a series of bolt holes along its length, with a bolt attached through one of those bolt holes and through the other tube, such that the user can select and set the length between the two mounting brackets. One of the mounting brackets is attached by bolts to a bottom of the bed-side side-mount truck bed toolbox. The other mounting bracket of each leg is attached by rivet nut threaded inserts to a side of the truck bed sidewall.

  • Publication number: 20170097070
    Abstract: A handle arrangement includes a handle transitionable between an undrawn configuration and a drawn configuration. A handle lever can be coupled to a rotational member and configured to rotate the rotational member as the handle is transitioned to the drawn configuration. The rotational member can be configured to actuate a cam lever. The cam lever can be configured to actuate a latch cam between a first position corresponding to the undrawn configuration of the handle and a second position corresponding to the drawn configuration of the handle. The latch cam can be configured such that transitioning the handle between the undrawn configuration and the drawn configuration causes the latch cam to transition from the first position to the second position. The latch cam can initially move in a direction away from the second position before arriving at the second position.

  • Publication number: 20170096846
    Abstract: A latch arrangement includes at least two handles coupled to one another and configured to transition the latch arrangement between a closed configuration and an open configuration. In the locked position a locking member inhibits actuation of each handle. The handle includes a handle lever configured to rotate a rotational member as the handle moves to the closed configuration. A cam lever is coupled to the rotational member and configured to actuate the cam lever, and a latch cam is coupled to the cam lever. Either handle transitioning between the closed and open configurations causes each latch cam to actuate.
