ABSTRACT:
The storage device is a device used in pickup truck beds, for the purpose of protecting items from the outside elements. The two main elements are the compartment, and the lid. The compartment and lid are made of materials such as sturdy lightweight injection molded plastics. The lid is ribbed across the top to add strength. The capacity of the compartment is approximately the same as the trunk of most small to medium size cars. It has a metal security tube system with locks, and rubber boot suction cups in the front and back of the device, to prevent theft or unauthorized removal from the bed. The lid has a front end locking mechanism that secures the contents. The lid is hinged at the rear end, allowing the lid to be opened and closed, from the tailgate area of the truck bed. A metal rod in the lid, allows the lid element to be raised to various positions (openings) as desired, when putting items into or taking items out of the compartment. The storage device is a portable device.
