Claims18
An apparatus, comprising:
- a clamp member to apply a force to an object, the clamp member to move in a first direction to apply the force to the object;
- a release member to release the force from the object, the release member to move in a second direction to return the clamp member to a stored position, the second direction opposite the first direction;
- and
- a force member to increase the force applied to the object via the clamp member, the force member to move in the first direction to increase the force applied to the object.
1 more element
A method, comprising:
- coupling a clamp member with a post, the post to translate to move the clamp member between a first position and a second position;
- providing a release member to control a position of the post, the release member to facilitate movement of the clamp member from the second position to the first position;
- and
- disposing a force member between the clamp member and the release member, the force member to increase the force applied to the object with the clamp member in the second position.
1 more element
A bed box of a vehicle, the bed box comprising:
- a side surface;
- a bottom surface;
- and
- a clamp mechanism disposed on the side surface, the clamp mechanism comprising:
- a clamp member to move between a first position and a second position, the clamp member to apply a force to an object in the second position, the clamp member to be disposed beyond the bottom surface in the second position;
- a release member disposed away from the clamp member, the release member to return the clamp member from the second position to the first position;
- and
- a force member disposed between the clamp member and the release member, the force member to increase the force applied to the object via the clamp member.
