Abstract
A collapsible truck bed rack for pickup trucks that is formed from four separate frame assemblies that can be installed on a truck or removed in five minutes or less without using tools. A unique means of arranging and fastening the top four corners of an installed rack is employed to create considerable stiffness in the rack corner structure, while permitting flexibility in rack length and width without compromising structural stiffness or strength. For storage, the separate assemblies are collapsible into two or more parts using quick disconnect means and may be packed compactly in a sack for placing in a pickup truck. The rack has a simple configuration, uses no complex parts requiring special machining or molds, and uses standard fastening components. It is therefore economical to manufacture and could be made available to small pickup truck owners at a relatively low cost.
