A cargo platform is mounted on the linear track mechanism so that the cargo platform moves between a horizontal stored position overlying the cargo floor and a horizontal extended position deployed through the vehicle opening. A pivot acts between the cargo platform and the linear track mechanism so that upon the cargo platform reaching the horizontal extended position the cargo platform can be pivoted between the horizontal extended position and a generally vertical position in which one end of the cargo platform is adjacent the ground so that a cargo resting on the ground can be positioned against the cargo platform. A restraint is provided for restraining the cargo on the cargo platform.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cantilever releasable lock mechanism for selectively adjusting the height of a support platform with respect to a reference level and to adjust the angular attitude of the support platform. The mechanism consists of a housing, a carriage member having a first end and a second end where the first end is pivotally attached to the housing, a spreader member that may be axially displaced with respect to the carriage member bi-axially depending upon the direction of rotation of a support platform that is pivotally attached to the carriage member at its second end. Displacement of the spreader member in one direction urges a clutch member to apply bearing stress that locks the carriage member rotationally to the housing and in the other direction relieves the bearing stress and unlocks the mechanism.

Abstract: Disclosed is a dual-hinged cover of a console box for an automobile. The console box, which is installed between a driver seat and an assistant seat, has an operation mechanism containing two pairs of links and rods so that the cover can be opened and closed with equal convenience from either seat. On the hinging side of the cover the leading ends of the rods move away from a shaft and are received into recesses while on the opening side the leading ends move toward the shaft until released from the recesses. Thus, the cover can be selectively opened and closed from the driver seat and the passenger seat according to the operation mechanism.

Abstract: A door hinge system enables a hinged door to be opened in multiple directions, not only at either lateral side, but also either forward or backward at either lateral side of the door, even though the system has a simple construction. In the door hinge system, when the hinged door is pivoted and opened from one lateral side, a hinge pin and at least one guide pin on the hinged door at the lateral side escapes from a hinge pin groove and a guide pin groove of a bracket assembly at the lateral side while a hinge pin at the other lateral side rotates on its own axis and a guide pin at the other lateral side is pivoted along a guide pin groove of a bracket assembly at the other lateral side. Each of the hinge pin grooves extend along an arc constituting a circumference of an imaginary circle whose center is positioned at one of opposite hinge points and whose radius is equal to a distance between centers of the first and second hinge pins.

Abstract: A hinge giving a neat look to a mounting area of a door is not exposed to an outer surface of the door. The hinge has a hinge spindle unit, buried flush with top and bottom lines on a fixed end of the door and disposed so as to allow protrusion and retraction of a spindle, and a hinge body unit, buried at a position facing the hinge spindle unit of the open frame and in which is inserted the protruding spindle, supporting the door to allow it to open and close.

Abstract: The figure eight hinge of the present invention allows a gate to be quickly and safely attached to a support structure. The hinge includes two legs having two different radii of curvature. The legs also include a slot which allows the hinge to have the desired figure eight configuration. The present invention advantageously eliminates pinch points and minimizes the distance between the gate and the support structure. In particular, the hinge remains stationary with respect to the support structure while allowing the gate to rotate within one end of the hinge. The figure eight hinge is preferably used with animal enclosures such as kennels or pens because it reduces the risk that an animal will catching its feet or other body parts between the gate and the support structure.

The latch assembly includes a covered latching bar which slides in a channel defined by a first and second bracket and is urged by a spring mounted between the first and second bracket, thereby to urge a latch end of the latching bar outwardly away from the latch assembly and an opposing handle end of the latching bar inwardly towards the latch assembly.

Abstract: A kit is provided for mounting the opposite sides of a vehicle hood about a releasable hinge pin assembly. This effectively forms a hinge joint along opposites sides of the hood. Each hinge pin assembly includes a retractable hinge pin or pins. This permits one side of the hood to be raised and lowed while the other side is hinged, and vice versa.

Abstract: A hinge for removably attaching a cover member to a container member. The hinge includes a first plate affixable to one of the members and a second plate affixable to the other of the members. A first tubular socket is formed integrally with the first plate and a second tubular socket is formed integrally with the second plate. The first and second tubular sockets are aligned when the first and second plates are affixed in alignment to the container and cover members. A J-shaped rod is formed with a longer leg and a shorter leg joined by a integral bail. A cap is formed on the end of the longer leg which is located away from the bail. The J-shaped rod is mounted on the first plate with its longer leg extending through the first tubular socket. A coil spring telescopes over a portion of the longer leg of the J-shaped rod with the spring engaging the first tubular socket and the cap to bias the bail against the opposite side of the first tubular socket and to seat the shorter leg in the second tubular socket.

Abstract: A combined hinge and latch mechanism for vehicle tops or "caps", which allows the cap to be lifted from either side. The mechanism has two parts, a plate which mounts to the truck or other vehicle bed and a latch, comprising a rod having handle and semicircular parts, and a pivot point, which mounts to the vehicle cap. Rotation of the rod engages and disengages with the plate to latch and unlatch the mechanism. When latched the two elements may be pivoted on each other providing a hinge.

Abstract: An opening pivot mechanism for a window or any type of closure that permits the closure to be opened in three directions from a single operator that includes three actuator rods with integral cylindrical bosses that define two pivot pins on each of three axes for slotted hinges carried by the closure. The actuator rods are simultaneously reciprocated by the operator through a series of links to position one of the rods with its pivot pins in their associated hinges thus defining the selected pivot axis, and to position at the same time reduced portions on the other two actuator rods in the remaining hinges so these rods can pass through the slots in their hinges during opening movement of the closure.
