Appl. No.:
5/966379
Inventors:
Clifford R. Everson - Camanche IA
International Classification:
B60P 900
US Classification:
414462
Abstract:
A device includes a fixed frame over the bed and the cab of a pickup truck, a pair of slanting rails along the sides of the fixed frame, and a folding frame that is detachably connected to the rear portion of the fixed frame. Unfolding the folding frame extends a carrying frame slantingly, rearwardly from the rails to the rear of the folding frame. Folding the frame by operation of a winch moves the front end of the carrying frame up the rails while the rear end of the carrying frame is guided by members of the folding frame to a position over the bed of the pickup truck. After removing locking pins, the winch is again operated to position the folding frame over the fixed frame at the sides of the carrying frame.

US Patent:
46550020, Apr 7, 1987
Filed:
Jul 21, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/887744
Inventors:
Clifford R. Everson - Camanche IA
International Classification:
E05D 1540
E01F 1300
US Classification:
49246
Abstract:
To prevent breakage, an end section that can be positioned across a roadway is connected through a slanting pivot to a supporting section, the raised and lowered positions of the supporting section being under control of a usual standard. The pintle of a hinge for the pivot lies along slanting abutting ends of the supporting section and the end section such that the end section while the sections are horizontal is maintained in position by gravity. An L-shaped latching device has a weight at one end, an intermediate pivot, and a latch at the other end to latch the sections together by gravity while the sections are raised from a horizontal position, the latch retaining said end section upright while the supporting section is fully raised.
