Device for securing a material handling device in fixed location inside a transport vehicle and related method
A device for securing a material handling device in a transport vehicle comprises an arm supporting at opposite ends a first attachment member configured for attaching to a shaft of a handle of the material handling device, which is configured for steerably moving the material handling device, and a second attachment member configured for attaching to the transport vehicle. The arm is movable relative to the first attachment member between a working position in which the arm is arranged to extend outwardly from the shaft of the handle to position the second attachment member at a spaced location therefrom for connecting to the transport vehicle, so as to secure the material handling device in fixed relation to the transport vehicle, and a storage position in which the arm is arranged generally parallel to the shaft of the handle to position the second attachment member at or adjacent the shaft.
SLIDABLE VEHICLE CROSSBARS AND CARGO HOLDING METHOD
A vehicle assembly includes, among other things, a cargo bed of a vehicle, a first crossbar spanning the cargo bed, and a second crossbar spanning the cargo bed. The first and second crossbars are slidable relative to the cargo bed. The first and second crossbars are slidable relative to each other.

Shelf for pickup truck shell that folds for easy removal
A utility shelf mounted inside the cargo area of a pickup truck equipped with a camper shell. The utility shelf spans across the width of the camper shell resting on the base mounting flanges of the camper shell. The utility shelf has a flat rectangular shelf panel with forward and aft support rails to support objects being transported. Shelf panels are mounted low on the support rails creating a raised edge to keep items in place. Support rails and shelf panel are hinged at midpoint thereby allowing utility shelf to be lifted in the center to fold in half for removal and stowage. Each support rail hinge incorporates a concealed stop to keep the shelf flat when deployed. Support rail hinges are designed to reduce the possibility of pinched fingers while deploying. The ends of each support rail incorporate a tool free adjustable extender to allow for proper fit.
Visibility enhancements for delivery vehicle
A vehicle includes a chassis defining a longitudinal axis, a cab coupled to the chassis, a cargo body coupled to the chassis and positioned rearward of the cab, and a driver seat disposed within the cab. The cab has a first door with a first window and a second door with a second window. When the driver seat is in a position that accommodates an operator being in the 95.sup.th male height percentile, the operator within the driver seat can see out of (i) the first window at a first angle relative to a forward looking direction that is parallel with the longitudinal axis and (ii) the second window at a second angle relative to the forward looking direction. Each of the first angle and the second angle is at least 95 degrees.

Truck bed partitioning device
This invention discloses a connector device with a particular T shape, which allows for the connection of two pieces of lumber in a perpendicular fashion. A user secures the connector device to two pieces lumber and fit it within a truck bed, setting up three separate compartments for storage within the truck bed. By using two or more connector devices, and three or more pieces of lumber, at least four separate compartments can be created.

VISIBILITY ENHANCEMENTS FOR DELIVERY VEHICLE
A vehicle assembly includes a vehicle body and a driver seat. The vehicle body defines a driver compartment having a first door with a first window and a second door with a second window. The driver seat is disposed within the driver compartment. When the driver seat is in a position that accommodates an operator being in a 95.sup.th male height percentile, the operator within the driver seat can see out of (i) the first window at a first angle relative to a forward looking direction that is parallel with a longitudinal axis of the vehicle body and (ii) the second window at a second angle relative to the forward looking direction. Each of the first angle and the second angle is at least 95 degrees.
