The present invention relates to an extendable truck bed with telescoping side panels and truck bed.
The typical pick-up utility truck includes a cabin area for driver and passenger seating and a cargo bed for transporting cargo or tools. On occasion the user of such a pick up truck and may need additional storage area for certain types of equipment or materials. Consequently, it would be advantageous to have a means to expand the cargo area at will.
The ability to modify the cargo area may be difficult to accomplish with a typical aftermarket truck bed extension. Further such modification may be cost prohibitive or impossible to implement. Therefore, it would be advantageous to have a cargo bed that is easily extendable and enables the user to expand the cargo area at will.
Examples of cargo bed extensions are well-known in the prior art. However there have been some limitations with respect to the implementation of cargo bed extensions. Some cargo extensions are difficult to extend and retract as needed and others simply cannot provide the adequate support of the extended bed. These are problems are addressed with the present invention as set forth below.
The present invention relates to an extendable truck bed that includes a first side panel, wherein the first side panel includes a telescoping side panel. The telescoping side panel extends vertically from the first side panel. The extendable truck bed also includes a second side panel, wherein the second side panel includes a telescoping side panel. Likewise, the second telescoping side panel extends vertically from the second side panel. The extendable truck bed also includes a telescoping extension within the bed, where said telescoping extension works in conjunction with the telescoping side panels.
Further features of the present invention include a tail gate and an underside support frame. The underside support frame supports an underside of the truck bed. So as the truck bed extends for lengthening purposes the underside support reinforces and supports the frame. The truck bed provides the user with a convenient and effective means to lengthen the truck bed as desired.
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the prior art, the general purpose of the present invention is to provide a pillowcase assisting tool to position a pillow within a pillowcase, configured to include all of the advantages of the prior art, and to overcome the drawbacks inherent therein.
The advantages and features of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following detailed description and claims taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein like elements are identified with like symbols, and in which:
The present invention relates to an extendable truck bed that allows a user to gain additional length of the bed as needed. The truck bed according to the present invention includes telescoping side panels that extend from an extension sleeve. Further the truck bed has a telescoping bed surface of that joins with the telescoping panels to provide an extension area for the user. Once the extended bed is at a desired position, the extended bed locks securely and provides usage as desired. Conveniently the bed may be close to a shorter and stationary position when the extended position is not necessary.
The truck bed 100 is further supported by an underside frame 50 that is shown in
As additional view of the truck bed 100,
