  • Patent number: 4942846
    Abstract: A headcatch support framework is provided that can be removably mounted on differently sized pickup trucks or other vehicles adapted to receive the framework. The framework is adapted for attachment of a headcatch in a manner permitting the headcatch to be slidably and rotatably connected to the support frame such that the headcatch can be rotated on the framework between a storage position and a capturing position. The support frame is comprised of a vehicle widthwise portion, a longitudinal portion, a headcatch mounting bracket and a rod connecting the portions together to achieve slidable and rotational movement. The capturing position places the headcatch alongside the truck and the storage position is against the rear of the truck. The headcatch remains integral with the support frame.
