  • Publication number: 20190070996
    Abstract: A cargo hold extender can include a plurality of folding walls. The plurality of folding walls can be folded into a stowed position contained entirely within a cargo hold of a hatched vehicle. The plurality of walls can also be moved to an extended position in which the plurality of folding walls extend outwardly through an aperture of a hatch of the hatched vehicle supported by a mounting mechanism mounted within the cargo hold. The plurality of folding walls can be deployed and connected with the hatch of the vehicle, thus forming an extended cargo hold for a hatched vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20180237080
    Abstract: A truck bed extension apparatus can include a hinge assembly having a hinge plate configured to be coupled to a primary tailgate of a pickup. An auxiliary tailgate includes a lower edge pivotally coupled to a front edge of the hinge plate, the auxiliary tailgate being pivotally movable between a stowed configuration co-planar with and adjacent to the hinge plate and a deployed configuration extending upwardly from the hinge plate. A pair of side panels is pivotally coupled to opposed side edges of the auxiliary tailgate and selectively movable between retracted and extended configurations. The hinge assembly can include a limiter configured to limit movement of the hinge assembly to prevent sagging of the auxiliary tailgate when in a stowed configuration.

  • Patent number: 9452793
    Abstract: A truck bed extension apparatus is useful in extending the bed of a truck having a primary tailgate pivotally movable between open and closed configurations. The apparatus includes a hinge assembly having a hinge plate coupled to the primary tailgate. An auxiliary tailgate includes a lower edge pivotally coupled to a front edge of the hinge plate, the auxiliary tailgate being pivotally movable between a stowed configuration co-planar with and adjacent to the hinge plate and a deployed configuration extending upwardly from the hinge plate. A pair of side panels is pivotally coupled to opposed side edges of the auxiliary tailgate and selectively movable between retracted and extended configurations. The truck bed is extended and enclosed when the primary tailgate is at an open configuration, the auxiliary tailgate is at the deployed configuration, and the pair of side panels is at the extended configuration.

  • Patent number: 8926176
    Abstract: A thermowell is provided for positioning on a pipeline or tank to measure the temperature. The thermowell comprises a head for receiving a probe, and the well has a closed end. An elongated hollow tubular connects the head and the well. The tubular includes one or more tubular parts, each of a selected axial length, joined by a friction welding to one of the more of the head, the well or another of the tubular parts.
