20090261611 | Buffering Structure for Cargo Box Gate of Truck - A buffering structure for the side gates of a cargo box of a truck is disclosed. The buffering structure includes front and rear side gates pivotally mounted on each side of the cargo box, and a middle column interposed between the front side gate and the rear side gate. Buffer members are interposed between the middle column and the front and rear side gates to resiliently support the front and rear side gates. Since the buffer member for resiliently supporting the front and rear side gates is installed on the middle column of the cargo box, deformation of the side gates is prevented and thus the lifespan of the cargo box is extended. Also, the generation of vibration and noise by friction comfort is reduced to improve driving comfort, as well as the smooth opening and closing of the side gates. | 10-22-2009 |
20100007164 | Universal sleeve for T-stakes in a flatbed trailer sidewall system - A sidewall system for receipt by pockets of a flatbed trailer includes a T-stake having a post portion and a wall panel retaining portion. A sleeve has a body of a selected size to be received in the pocket of the flatbed trailer and has a channel sized to receive the post portion of the T-stake. The sleeve may also include an outwardly projecting flange, and may be attached to the post portion of the T-stake. The sleeve is adapted to convert a variety of pocket sizes into a single universal size for receipt of a standard T-stake. | 01-14-2010 |
20100052354 | COMPOSITE STAKE RACKS FOR FLATBED TRUCK BODY - A panel for a stake rack assembly for a cargo area of a truck bed includes a first surface and a second surface opposing the first surface. The first and second surfaces include a plurality of openings to define generally horizontal sections and generally vertical sections that form rails and stakes of the panel, wherein the panel is formed of a polymer material. | 03-04-2010 |
20100072770 | STAKE SYSTEM FOR FLATBED VEHICLES - A stake system for providing a removable support for articles being transported on flatbed vehicles is provided. The stake system has a composite body with a cap on one end and a boot on the opposite end. A cover layer is shrink wrapped over the composite body and may include a heat-activated adhesive. The boot includes a flange that contacts the flatbed vehicle when the stake system is inserted into pockets formed in the flatbed vehicle. A pin is tethered to the boot and may be inserted into a hole in the boot adjacent to the underside of the flatbed vehicle. The pin provides a convenient means for locking the stake system to the vehicle and prevents the stake system from disengaging during operation. | 03-25-2010 |

20100109367 | PAYLOAD DIVIDER SUPPORT ARMATURE - A partition support member is disclosed for placement on a trailer, truck bed or the like. A support member is provided to engage a preexisting cavity on said trailer or truck bed. At least one and preferably a series of channels are provided on the device so that a partition or partition support may be slidingly engaged thereto. A plurality of the devices may be used to support partitions to subdivide said truck bed or trailer. | 05-06-2010 |
20140132024 | Latching Cargo Stake - A cargo stake is disclosed which may be secured in a stake hole without the need of inserting a pin or bolt underneath the cargo bed. In a preferred embodiment, a latching mechanism is provided internal to a cargo stake body made from box steel tubing. The latching mechanism includes a latching member which can protrude perpendicular to the axis of the cargo stake at the lower end of the cargo stake, and the latching mechanism is operable through the upper open end of the cargo stake. In a preferred embodiment the latching mechanism is spring loaded and automatically latches in place upon insertion. | 05-15-2014 |
20150367769 | GRAVITY BIASED LOAD CONSTRAINING DEVICES AND VEHICLES INCORPORATING THE SAME - Vehicles having gravity biased gate members utilized to laterally constrain a load are disclosed. In one embodiment, a vehicle includes one or more wheels that allow movement of the vehicle from one location to another location, a frame mounted to the one or more wheels, a load bearing deck supported by the frame, the load bearing deck having a support surface for supporting a load thereon, and a gravity biased gate member rotatably coupled at the load bearing deck at an axis of rotation. The gravity biased gate member includes a bottom portion below the axis of rotation that is heavier than a top portion above the axis of rotation such that a center of mass of the gravity biased gate member is offset from the axis of rotation, biasing the gravity biased gate member into an extended configuration. | 12-24-2015 |
20160114735 | FIXTURE FOR A VEHICLE - A fixture for a vehicle, which is configured so that a plurality of retaining arms inserted into and caught by a coupling hole formed in a body panel are located on an imaginary circle, and arranged in the form of a cone so as to absorb an external force, thereby being easily assembled, and which is capable of dispersing and absorbing twisting generated when an indoor handle installed using the fixture is used. In the fixture for the vehicle, even-numbered retaining arms are formed to face each other on the imaginary circle, such that an external force generated when the indoor handle is used is dispersed and absorbed regardless of an applied direction of the external force, and a separation or an escape of the fixture is prevented, and thus a noise and a safety accident are reduced. | 04-28-2016 |
