  • Patent number: 7568748
    Abstract: A pickup truck cargo rack is designed for easy mounting to and removal from a truck bed. The cargo rack is adjustable such that cargo support members may be raised to carry large items such as boats, kayaks, lumber, pipe, etc. The cargo support members may also be lowered such that they are spaced only a small distance above the outer side edges of the truck bed enclosure. The lower position of the cargo support members may be used when only small items are to be carried or when it is desired to have the bars essentially out of the field of view of a driver looking at the rearview mirror.

  • Patent number: 6601253
    Abstract: A mattress provides side support that reduces the likelihood that a person will accidentally roll off and also provides increased comfort to a person sitting on the side of the mattress. The mattress includes a top layer, a bottom layer and a buffer layer between the top and bottom layers. A pair of support members are placed in corresponding cavities near the opposite sides of the top layer. The support members are firmer than the top layer and are arranged to support the top layer and provide reduced compression of the mattress when a weight is placed on the upper surface of the top layer near the support members.
