==TRUCK TAILGATE REPLACEMENTS WITH ADJUSTABLE SLIDERS AND TRUCKS INCLUDING THE TAILGATE REPLACEMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17835450 titled 'TRUCK TAILGATE REPLACEMENTS WITH ADJUSTABLE SLIDERS AND TRUCKS INCLUDING THE TAILGATE REPLACEMENTS

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a truck with a passenger cabin and a truck bed located behind it. The truck bed has a tailgate replacement that spans the rear opening between the sidewalls. The tailgate replacement includes support rails and a slider connected to them.

* The truck has a passenger cabin and a truck bed with a tailgate replacement.
* The tailgate replacement consists of support rails and a slider.
* The support rails are vertically-extending and vertically spaced-apart, laterally-extending.
* The slider connects to the laterally-extending support rails.
* The slider has two connecting portions that engage with the laterally-extending support rails.

== Potential Applications ==

==Original Abstract Submitted==

A truck includes a passenger cabin and a truck bed located rearward of the passenger cabin in a vehicle longitudinal direction. The truck bed includes a bed deck and a pair of spaced apart sidewalls. A tailgate replacement extends across a rear opening to the truck bed and between the sidewalls. The tailgate replacement includes vertically-extending support rails and vertically spaced-apart, laterally-extending support rails that extend between the vertically-extending support rails. A slider is connected to the laterally-extending support rails. The slider includes a first connecting portion that slidably engages a first one of the laterally-extending support rails and a second connecting portion that slidably engages a second one of the laterally-extending support rails.
