  • Patent number: 6550799
    Abstract: A running board storage device being mounted in conjunction with a land vehicle where the running board storage device can be used as a step to facilitate entry and exit through an access door of the vehicle. The storage device may include a drawer which is movable between a retracted position where access into the drawer is prevented and an extended position where access into the drawer is permitted. Also, the storage device could have an entry door arrangement where an upper door and a lower door open simultaneously in a “clamshell” opening arrangement. The storage compartment of the running board can be divided into an upper section and a lower section with elongated members such as skis, pipes and the like being capable of being stored in the upper section. The lower section may optionally include one or more drawers.

  • Publication number: 20020079668
    Abstract: A running board storage device mounted in conjunction with a land vehicle where the running board storage device can be used as a step to facilitate entry and exit through an access door of the vehicle. The storage device comprises a drawer mounted within a housing which is slidingly movable between a retracted position where access into the drawer is prevented and an extended position where access into the drawer is permitted. A door is pivotally mounted on the housing with this door cooperating with the drawer, when in the retracted position, to close the internal compartment of the housing. The door can be pivoted to an open position permitting access into the internal compartment of the drawer and movement of the drawer to the extended position. A roller is mounted on the door which engages with a guide track mounted on the drawer. As the door is opened, the drawer is initially ejected toward the extended position.
