Abstract
Disclosed is a cargo space divider wherein a system of dividing walls allow a cargo space, preferably a pick-up truck bed, to be sectioned off into smaller, variably sized sections in order to prevent objects transported therein from rolling or sliding about the bed. The device consists of a pair of support rails that are installed along and clamped to the sidewalls of the truck bed above the wheel wells. Lateral sectioning walls span the width of the truck bed and longitudinal sectioning walls span between the lateral sectioning walls, both in adjustable positions, thus creating divided cargo spaces that are adjustable both in number and size.
Claims9
A cargo space divider for use in a pick-up truck bed having side rails and a floor comprising:
- opposing support rails, configured for extending along the side rails of a pick-up truck bed;
- at least one traversing divider wall, the traversing dividing wall extending in height from proximate said support rails to proximate the floor of the truck bed and spanning between the width of said truck bed, the traversing divider wall being configured for being telescopically adjusted in length to adjust to the width of the truck bed;
- the traversing divider wall including at least one aperture in an upper edge thereof;
- at least one longitudinal divider wall, the longitudinal divider wall extending in height from proximate the top of said traversing divider wall to proximate the floor of the truck bed, the longitudinal divider wall being configured for being telescopically adjusted in length;
- a locking pin mechanism coupled to said longitudinal divider wall proximate an upper edge of said longitudinal divider wall, the locking pin mechanism operable for removably engaging said aperture in the traversing divider wall at a position along its length to secure the longitudinal divider wall with said traversing divider wall;
- said longitudinal divider wall including a support bracket located proximate a lower edge of said longitudinal divider wall, the support bracket configured to accept a bottom edge of said traversing divider wall, so as to further secure the longitudinal divider wall with said traversing divider wall;
- and
- wherein said traversing divider wall and said longitudinal divider wall are secured together, creating cargo spaces which may be adjusted in size and position in a truck bed.
