VEHICLE MOUNTED HAMMOCK FRAME

摘要

The vehicle mounted hammock frame provides for a hammock to be suspended in the bed of a pickup truck approximately 6 feet above ground level. The hammock frame is intended to accommodate several sizes of hammocks including a family sized hammock, which affords comfortable lounging for two adults. The frame is simple to deploy by a single adult in minutes. It is anticipated that all parts may be attached to the unit so that pieces will not be lost or missing when it comes time to deploy the hammock frame. A storage case may be provided for ease of storage and transport. The hammock frame may have members added or attached to it in order that it can be deployed on the ground. Such members might include legs, bracing, and support members configured to allow a user to deploy the hammock frame on the ground.
