Abstract

A load support for the attachment to the box of a pickup truck to assist in retaining loads carried by the truck employs cross members of adjustable length to accommodate pickup truck beds of varying widths. The ends of the cross member include structures for securing the ends to the top edges of the opposed side rails of the truck. The transversely extending load support includes upright members on its two ends for limiting sliding motion of loads supported on top of the cross bar. Various attachments for securing particular loads, such as bicycles or the like, to the cross bar may be fixed to the cross bar or removably attached to the cross bar through sleeves which surround the cross bar and may be fixed to it by set screws.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS
[received by the International Bureau on 05 June 2006 (05.06.2006); riginal claims 1-19 canceled, claims 20, 21 amended and claims 22, 23 added]
+ Statement
20. The load support of claim 22 where the ramp for elevating a load onto the platform comprises an elongated ramp adapted to have one end secured to at least one of the support rails and the other end supported at a lower elevation on which the truck rests whereby a load may be moved up the ramp onto the platform,
21. The apparatus of claim 23 wherein the ramp comprises a plurality of telescoping sections so that it may be disposed in a compressed form wherein the sections telescope within one another or an extended form in which the sections extend from one another.
22. A load support for use with the bed of a pickup truck of the type having a box bounded on opposed sides with fixed side rails terminating at their top edges with ledges extending in the direction of the opposite side rail and at its rear with a tailgate pivotably supported at the rear of the box so as to be movable between an upright position in which opposed edges of the side rail bear against the rear edges of the side rails, closing the box, and an open position wherein the tailgate is pivoted downwardly relative to the side rails, comprising: a first elongated bar of rectangular tubing; a first clamp fixed to one end of the first rectangular bar; a second bar of rectangular tubing having outer dimensions complementary to the inner dimensions of the first bar so that the second bar may telescope within lhe first bar; a second clamp fixed to one end of the second bar; the first and second clamps each comprising a first section adapted to overlay a ledge of a side rail and a screw member threaded in a hole in the clamp and adapted to urge the first section into pressured engagement with its associated ledge when threaded into the hole; a locking screw threaded in a hole in one side of the first tube for engaging a section on the outer surface of the second tube telescoping within the first tube to lock the first and second tubes at a fixed length and present an unencumbered top surface of the first tube to support an elongated load with a first end of the load on the floor of the box and a midsection of the load supported on the top of the second tube, and a second end of the load extending above the top of the closed tailgate.
23, The load support of claim 22, further including: a third elongated bar adapted to be supported between the side rails at a spaced distance from said first bar; a planar platform adapted to be supported between the first and ihird elongated bars; and a ramp for elevating a load onto said platform.
