Inventors:

Richard S. Clonan - Cazenovia NY, US

International Classification:

B62D 33/02

US Classification:

2961831, 296 43, 296 376

Abstract:

A universal rail system for a vehicle having a bed is provided, including at least first and second rails adjustably affixed to a respective one of the opposed sidewalls of the vehicle bed. The rails extend proximate an inner surface of the sidewalls in the longitudinal direction between a front wall of the vehicle bed and a tailgate thereof, and each rail includes at least one elongated channel extending along a longitudinal direction thereof. Mounting means are provided, associated with each rail, to adjustably affix the rails to the sidewalls. The mounting means is adapted to cooperate with the rails to adjustably compensate for a degree that the sidewalls deviate from a parallel alignment position along the longitudinal direction between the front wall and the tailgate of the vehicle bed so that the rails have a substantially parallel relationship with respect to one another in the longitudinal direction.

Abstract:

A mounting fixture for a pickup truck that has a bed that includes a front wall, a rear tail gate and a pair of side walls that diverge at a given angle from the tail gate toward the front wall. The fixture includes a pair of support units mounted upon each bed side wall that extends along the length of the bed. Each unit further includes a horizontal flat platform that is attached to an associated side wall and a side rail that extends downwardly from the platform into the bed. The side rails converge from the tailgate toward the bed front wall. Parallel guideways are formed in the platforms and side rail for slidably receiving various components therein.
