ABSTRACT:
An in-vehicle device for lifting objects into and out of the storage areas of the vehicle in which it is installed. The device is attached to the inside wall, floor, or ceiling area of the vehicle in which it is installed. It is fixedly attached to the vehicle by a mounting element which is connected to a swivel base element containing, in one embodiment, a winch with a cable running through a telescoping arm protruding from the base. The arm telescopes into and out of the base. The cable has a hook on its end to enable it to hook onto handles or ropes on objects to be stored in the vehicle and removed therefrom to a desired location. The winch is operated manually or by an electric motor or other mechanical means. The mounting element is attached to the vehicle by bolts, rivets, adhesives and the like. The base can be connected to the mounting element by a ball and socket joint to enable it to swivel in all directions, or it can be connected by a joint which enables it to swivel horizontally only. The mounting element can also be fixed to the vehicle by means of brackets. The telescoping arm has a ball and socket wrist joint to enable it to rotate in all directions, enabling it to move the cable with hook to objects not directly below the hook, or to, with the help of the swivel base, unload objects to locations not directly below it.
