Claims19
An overhead rack for a utility vehicle having a cab and a bed, the rack comprising:
- a first surface having a parallel relationship to a bed of a vehicle upon which the rack is mounted,
- a second surface having a parallel relationship to the first surface, the second surface being disposed at a higher altitude than the first surface, the second surface extending over a cab of the vehicle,
- a first vertical element extending between the first surface and the second surface on a first side of the vehicle corresponding to its driver's side,
- a second vertical element extending between the first surface and the second surface, the second vertical element positioned on a second side of the vehicle corresponding to its passenger's side,
- a third vertical element extending between the first surface and the second surface on the first side of the vehicle, the third vertical element positioned between the first vertical element and the back of the vehicle, and a fourth vertical element extending between the first surface and the second surface of the second side of the vehicle, the fourth vertical element positioned between the second vertical element and the back of the vehicle, the second surface comprising a configured element, the configured element having a longitudinal element extending between a back side of the second surface and a front side of the second surface, the configured element further comprising a unifying element positioned on a portion of the second surface that is above the cab of the vehicle
- the unifying element resembling a triangle having a first apex proximal to the longitudinal element at the front of the second surface, whereby the longitudinal element bisects the triangle.
