This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17825401 titled 'STORAGE TUNNEL ASSEMBLY FOR THE BED OF A PICKUP TRUCK OR OTHER VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a storage tunnel assembly for the bed of a pickup truck or similar vehicle. - The assembly includes a vertical wall and a cover that can be deployed to create a storage space within the bed. - The vertical wall is separate from the bulkhead of the bed and is positioned across the width of the bed. - The cover is separate from the floor of the bed and is also positioned across the width of the bed. - The vertical wall, cover, bulkhead, and floor together define the storage space within the bed. - The vertical wall and cover can be fixed, separate, or hinged components in different configurations. - The side walls of the bed have access openings that align with the storage space created by the vertical wall, cover, bulkhead, and floor. - The access openings may have doors that can be opened and closed to selectively access the storage space.
Original Abstract Submitted
A storage tunnel assembly for the bed of a pickup truck or other vehicle. The storage tunnel assembly generally includes a deployable vertical wall separated from a bulkhead of the bed and disposed across a width of the bed and a deployable cover separated from a floor of the bed between the vertical wall and the bulkhead and disposed across the width of the bed. The vertical wall, the cover, the bulkhead, and the floor define a storage space within a space defined by the bed. The vertical wall and the cover may be fixed components, separate components, and/or hinged components in various assemblies. One or both side walls of the bed define a storage tunnel access opening coincident with the storage space defined by the vertical wall, the cover, the bulkhead, and the floor and may include a door adapted to selectively open and close the associated storage tunnel access opening.
