Patent number: 8371782Abstract: An adjustable array of gates and partitions for vehicles, particularly pickup truck beds, that enables succinct partitioned areas for a more organized load. A partition apparatus extends from between the two sides of a truck bed and may be moved forward or backward, including over wheel wells, through the use of rails. In addition, telescoping panels secured perpendicularly from the partition apparatus offers additional partition capabilities as the telescoping panels move from side to side through the use of additional rails.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2008Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Inventor: Steven B Hill

Patent number: 5586850Abstract: The invention consists of a panel having an area that is substantially the same dimension as the tail gate on a pickup truck cargo body. The panel is suspended from a track mounted on the body side rails, and through a wheel assembly rides the length of the truck bed. Cut out areas allow the panel to move past the wheel wells and doors attached to the panel are adapted to close off the cut out areas when not obstructed by the wheel wells. Locking bolts on each side engage slots in the side rails and slots in a floor mounted track. A single handle on each side controls the movement of the vertical and horizontal locking bolts.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 1995Date of Patent: December 24, 1996Inventor: James H. Johnson

Patent number: 5472300Abstract: The disclosed invention is an apparatus for partitioning a storage space such as the load space of a goods vehicle having a frame which defines an opening through which the storage space is accessible, and at least one partition movable within the load space to define at least two compartments of desired relative size in the storage space. Both compartments are accessible through the opening, on either side of the partition. Expandable closure elements, typically in the form of collapsible trellis-type doors, are movable to close the opening, and be locked to each other or to the partition, so that access can be gained to either compartment, while the other remains secure. The expandable closure elements and the partition move on respective sets of tracks. A version of the invention is also disclosed in which movable partition elements in a storage space are provided with expandable closures, allowing access through the partitions.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 1993Date of Patent: December 5, 1995Inventor: Larry Lipschitz

Patent number: 4722646Abstract: A device for use in securing cargo in a stationary position on the bed of a truck or similar vehicle is disclosed. The device includes a movable partition having spring biased locking pins on the outer ends thereof which may be releasably secured in any of a series of holes spaced at intervals along a railing attached to either side of the length of the truck bed. Upon operation of a handle mechanism located in the central upper portion of the partition, the locking pins may be unlocked, allowing the partition to be moved on caster wheels mounted for movement along the interior length of the railings until the desired position is reached at which point the handle is released, causing the pins to lock into the adjacent openings in the railing.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 1986Date of Patent: February 2, 1988Assignee: Cargo-Tite, Inc.Inventor: Jim McIntyre

Patent number: 4372716Abstract: An improved trolley structure for a freight bracing bulkhead assembly. The sprocket wheels of the trolley structure are designed to cooperate with the same apertures in supporting tracks located in a cargo area as cooperate with the locking pins of the bulkhead assembly. The sprocket wheels are mounted on the trolley shaft by means which permit the axis of each sprocket wheel to shift relative to the axis of the trolley shaft. A safety member is provided to prevent vertical disengagement of the sprocket wheels from the tracks.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 1980Date of Patent: February 8, 1983Assignee: Evans Products CompanyInventor: Bennett O. Blout

Patent number: 4345862Abstract: A freight bracing bulkhead assembly having a bulkhead with easily removable freight engaging panels. The bulkhead is adopted to be suspended from a trolley system cooperating with overhead tracks in a cargo area for movement along the tracks. Locking means cooperating with the overhead tracks and with cooperating plates on the floor of the cargo area are actuated between a locked position and a released position by a linkage assembly located exteriorly of the modular panels.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 1980Date of Patent: August 24, 1982Assignee: Evans Products CompanyInventors: Bennett O. Blout, James C. Ruffolo
