Abstract
An adjustable headboard for a carrier vehicle includes a hoop with a first frame member having a proximal end and a distal end, a second frame member having a proximal end and a distal end, and a connecting member extending between the distal end of the first frame member and the distal end of the second frame member. The hoop is moveable between a first position and a second position. The adjustable headboard further includes a stationary base with a first receiving channel and a second receiving channel and a retainer coupled to the hoop to secure the hoop in the first position and the second position.

An adjustable headboard for a carrier vehicle, comprising:
- a hoop including a first frame member having a proximal end and a distal end, a second frame member having a proximal end and a distal end, and a connecting member coupling the distal end of the first frame member and the distal end of the second frame member, the hoop being moveable between a first position and a second position, and
- a stationary base, comprising:
- a first receiving channel that includes a first pair of opposing sidewalls, the proximal end of the first frame member positioned between the first pair of opposing sidewalls;
- a second receiving channel that includes a second pair of opposing sidewalls, the proximal end of the second frame member positioned between the second pair of opposing sidewalls, and
- a retainer coupled to the hoop, wherein the hoop translates within the first receiving structure and the second receiving structure between a first position and a second position, the retainer securing the hoop in the first position and the second position.
A carrier assembly for a truck, comprising:
- a truck bed including a fore end and an aft end and defining a bed surface;
- and
- an adjustable headboard coupled to the fore end of the truck bed along the bed surface, the adjustable headboard comprising:
- a hoop including a first frame member having a proximal end and a distal end, a second frame member having a proximal end and a distal end, and a connecting member coupling the distal end of the first frame member and the distal end of the second frame member, the hoop being moveable between a first position and a second position, and
- a stationary base, comprising:
- a first receiving channel that includes a first pair of opposing sidewalls, the proximal end of the first frame member positioned between the first pair of opposing sidewalls;
- a second receiving channel that includes a second pair of opposing sidewalls, the proximal end of the second frame member positioned between the second pair of opposing sidewalls, and
- a retainer coupled to the hoop, wherein the hoop translates within the first receiving structure and the second receiving structure between a first position and a second position, the retainer securing the hoop in the first position and the second position.
A carrier truck, comprising:
- a chassis;
- a cab coupled to the chassis;
- a bed movably coupled to the chassis;
- and
- an adjustable headboard coupled to the bed, the adjustable headboard comprising:
- a hoop including a first frame member having a proximal end and a distal end, a second frame member having a proximal end and a distal end, and a connecting member coupling the distal end of the first frame member and the distal end of the second frame member, the hoop being moveable between a first position and a second position, and
- a stationary base, comprising:
- a first receiving channel that includes a first pair of opposing sidewalls, the proximal end of the first frame member positioned between the first pair of opposing sidewalls,
- a second receiving channel that includes a second pair of opposing sidewalls, the proximal end of the second frame member positioned between the second pair of opposing sidewalls, and
- a retainer coupled to the hoop, wherein the hoop translates within the first receiving structure and the second receiving structure between a first position and a second position, the retainer securing the hoop in the first position and the second position.
