Abstract
A movable storage system provides a repositionable storage location for livestock tack, including saddles and blankets. The system is particularly well suited for horse trailers and other types of transport trailers. The system includes a pivotably movable upright panel or wall that is fitted with horizontal storage arms or shelves for supporting various equipment and tack. The system can be repositioned at different angular positions relative to the upright stationary walls of the trailer, as desired. The system includes hinges coupling one side of the storage system to the trailer to provide a vertical pivot axis about which the system is pivotable. Latches are provided to secure the system at a desired angular position within the trailer. Storage compartments and gates may be included with the storage system.
Claims20
A moveable tack wall for a transport trailer, said moveable tack wall comprising:
- a pivotable upright wall coupled to an interior of the trailer and extending upward from a floor of the trailer, said pivotable wall is moveable between a plurality of angular positions relative to stationary upright walls of the trailer;
- a plurality of saddle racks extending from a face of said pivotable wall;
- a plurality of equipment support bars extending from said face of said pivotable wall;
- a latch pin coupled to a portion of said pivotable wall and spaced apart from a pivot axis of said pivotable wall;
- and
- a plurality of pin receivers disposed in spaced arrangement along a surface within the interior of the trailer, the positions of said plurality of pin receivers within the interior of the trailer define said plurality of angular positions for said pivotable wall and each of said plurality of pin receivers provides a latching point for said pivotable wall;
- wherein said latch pin is configured to selectively engage one of said plurality of pin receivers.
A moveable tack wall for a transport trailer, said moveable tack wall comprising:
- an upright panel pivotably mounted at an interior of the trailer and pivotable about a vertical pivot axis proximate one side of said upright panel to selectively position said upright panel at one of a plurality of angular positions;
- a plurality of storage arms extending from a face of said upright panel and configured for storing equipment;
- a latch pin coupled to said upright panel and spaced apart from said vertical pivot axis;
- a plurality of pin receivers positioned in a spaced arrangement along at least one chosen from a floor and a ceiling of the trailer adjacent to said upright panel, wherein the positions of said plurality of pin receivers define said plurality of angular positions for said upright panel and each of said plurality pin receivers providing a latching point for said upright panel;
- and
- a handle coupled to said latch pin and operable to move said latch pin to selectively engage or release said latch pin at one of said plurality of pin receivers.
