Foldable truck rack

ActiveUS12522151B2Supplementary fittingsFuel conservationPickup truck
Present invention teaches a foldable truck rack that can be collapsed down when not in use, saving gas consumption and adding flexibility of space utilization of the bed portion of a pickup truck. One configuration allows the top horizontal bar to be lowered down with two upright bars sliding towards each other, until the top horizontal bar completely folded on top of the two upright bars, reducing the physical volume of the truck rack. A second configuration is made up of two half-bars to form a straight top horizontal bar, secured by a bracket with two lug nuts. When the two half-bars are folded down in a lateral axial direction to the corresponding upright bars, they are then pivoted down in a longitudinal direction towards base pieces, resulting in wide open space of a truck bed for more versatile use.
