Abstract
A truck bed liner and a removable storage box combination comprising a bed liner and at least one box. The bed liner has internal sides defining opposite facing docking members. The at least one box comprises a lid, and opposite ends defining complementary docking members adapted to dock with the opposite facing members located on the internal sides of the bed liner. An optional internal reversible securing mechanism is located inside the at least one box that is accessible when the at least one box lid is open. The optional internal reversible securing mechanism moves from a box secure position to a box release position thus reversibly securing the at least one box to the truck bed liner. An optional external locking mechanism reversible locks the lid of the at least one box.

A vehicle bed liner and a box combination, comprising:
- a bed liner comprising a first and second opposite sides, a front end, and a base, wherein the first and second opposite sides respectively have a first and a second internal surface, wherein the first and second internal surface respectively define a first and a second internal surface docking member, whereby the first and second internal surface docking members are opposite each other;
- a box of generally rectangular shape comprising a first and second opposite ends, a first and second opposite sides, a base and a lid that can move between an open and a closed position, wherein the first and second opposite ends of the box each respectively comprise a first and second exterior surface, wherein the first and second exterior surface respectively define a first and a second exterior surface docking member, wherein the first exterior surface docking member reversibly docks with the first interior surface docking member and the second exterior surface docking member reversibly docks with the second interior surface docking member;
- an internal reversible securing mechanism located inside the box and in operable communication with the first and second internal surface docking members of the bed liner to reversibly secure the box to the bed liner;
- and
- an external locking mechanism to reversibly secure the lid to the box,
- whereby the box can be removed easily from the bed liner by opening the lid of the box and operating the reversible securing mechanism to release the box from the bed liner, and further whereby the box can be placed easily into the bed liner by aligning the first and second exterior surface docking members with the first and second interior surface docking members and lowering the box into the bed liner to place the box in the bed liner.
A vehicle bed liner and at least one box combination, comprising:
- a bed liner comprising a first and second opposite sides, a front end, and a base, wherein the first and second opposite sides respectively have a first and a second internal surface, wherein the first internal surface defines a first plurality of male members, and the second internal surface defines a second plurality of male members, whereby the first and second plurality of male members are aligned to face each other;
- at least one box of generally rectangular shape comprising a first and second opposite ends, a first and second opposite sides, a base and a lid that can move between an open and a closed position, wherein the first and second opposite ends of the at least one box each respectively comprise a first and second exterior surface, wherein the first and second exterior surface respectively define a first and a second female member, wherein the first female member reversibly docks with a male member of the first plurality of male members, and the second female member reversibly docks with a male member of the second plurality of male members;
- an internal reversible securing mechanism located inside each of the at least one box and in operable communication with the first and second male members of the bed liner to reversibly secure the at least one box to the bed liner via the first and second female members;
- and
- an external locking mechanism to reversibly secure the lid to the at least one box,
- whereby the at least one box can be removed easily from the bed liner by opening the lid of the at least one box and operating the reversible securing mechanism to release the at least one box from the bed liner, and further whereby the at least one box can be easily mated to the bed liner by docking the first and second female members respectively with a male member of the first and second plurality of male members.
