  • Publication number: 20180361944
    Abstract: A bicycle rack is attached to a pickup truck having a plurality of receptacles in sidewalls of a truck box spaced above a truck bed. The bicycle rack comprises a bicycle receiver attached to a set of arms. A pair of connectors are attached to the arms to detachably assemble the arms to the receptacles with the arms and the receiver being held in a position spaced from the bed. A method is disclosed for transporting a bicycle with a pickup truck by providing connectors attached to the arms that are detachably assembled to the receptacles by sliding the connectors downwardly relative to the receptacles. The bicycle and bicycle rack do not require support from the truck bed and do not obstruct the truck bed.

  • Patent number: 10150515
    Abstract: A pick-up truck bed includes a plurality of plates longer in a longitudinal direction than in a transverse direction that are assembled together along longitudinally extending edges to a laterally adjacent one of the plates. The plates each include a plurality of supporting structures longitudinally extending along a length of the plates that support the plates on transversely extending cross-members. A left-side plate defines a left wheel housing cutout, a longitudinally extending central plate includes first and second complementary interlocking features on opposite longitudinally extending sides, and a longitudinally extending right-side plate defines a right wheel housing cutout. The left-side plate includes a first interlocking feature and the right-side plate includes a second interlocking feature that each receive one of the complementary interlocking features of the central plate.

  • Patent number: 8342610
    Abstract: A green concrete saw that allows for precise adjustment of a height of a circular saw blade is provided. The saw provides for the circular saw blade to be secured to a front end of a mainframe mounted on an undercarriage. A major height adjustment is performed by adjusting the height of the mainframe relative to the undercarriage. Further, the undercarriage supports wheels for the saw, and a fine height adjustment is performed by adjusting the height of a front end of the undercarriage relative to the ground through the use of an eccentric front axle.
