ABSTRACT:
A security enclosure is mounted on the open load deck of a jeep between the rear seat and the tailgate. The load deck, deck sidewalls, and tailgate provide four sidewalls of the security compartment. Top and forward enclosure panels of the security enclosure are movably coupled together for pivotal movement by a hinge. The forward enclosure panel is stabilized by side flanges which are rigidly attached in flush engagement to the load deck side panels. The top enclosure panel is releasably locked to the load deck side panels by spring loaded lock pins which are concealed within the security compartment. According to this arrangement, access to the security compartment and to the lock assembly is controlled by normal operation of the tailgate and its lock. Upon release of the lock pins, the top enclosure panel may be rotated out of the way to provide a top opening access to the load deck for accommodating oversized articles.
