ABSTRACT:
In a device for opening and closing a side plate of a loading box on a motor truck under no-load condition wherein the side plate is outwardly openably hinged at its bottom edge to the outer side edge of the floor plate of the loading box, an actuating or interlocking mechanism is provided which comprises an upper actuating connecting rod and a lower actuating connecting rod. The upper actuating connecting rod has the upper end thereof articulated to the outer surface of the side plate and the lower end thereof articulated to the upper end of the lower actuating connecting rod, the lower end of which is articulated to a lower portion of a support member downwardly projected from the underside of the floor plate. Thus, the mechanism is twice-foldable. The actuating or interlocking mechanism may be resiliently pulled by a spring having the base thereof connected to the underside of the floor plate.
