Abstract: A loading device for open tenders comprises a front bow including two fixed side bars the ends of which are inserted into a hollow rotatable bar which extends parallel to and substantially the width of the driver's cabin, which rotatable bar bears a frame sub-divided by wires. Stops in the form of box-like pans are mounted on each fixed bar, to stop the movement of the rotatable bar. The rotatable bar comprises in pan of its circumference a slot the length of which corresponds to the desired range of angular movement of the rotatable bar. The stops are located in alignment with the slot flush with the rotatable bar or higher. The fixed and rotatable bars, the frame, and the stops (or box-like pans) are connected with each other.

Abstract: A loading bow device for open bed trucks which includes a front bow extending parallel to the width of the passenger's cabin. Both lower sides of the front bow are connected to lower bars. Each lower bar is also connected to the top of the corresponding side wall of the open truck and to a movable back bow extending parallel to the front bow. The back bow is connected at a number of places on the lower bar or is movable thereon. The device is advantageously provided with removable upper bars extending parallel to the lower bars, connecting the front bow to the movable back bow. The lower and upper bars may be provided with a number of connection points for the fixation of the movable back bow.
