Trailer side board support brackets

摘要

A bracket kit which enables a user to add upright side boards to a trailer which includes a flat bottom with a metal frame extending upward from the sides of the trailer. The bracket kit includes four brackets which are quickly and easily connected to the trailer frame and which include vertical channels into which uprights sideboards are inserted. The upright boards are held in place by the brackets and enable the trailer to contain and haul loose particulate matter such as mulch, sand, gravel or the like.

1. A removably mounted side board support bracket assembly for use with a peripheral frame extending around a floor of a trailer including a horizontal front rail joining a horizontal left side rail and horizontal right side rail extending therefrom, said frame supported above said floor by a plurality of vertical frame members, said bracket assembly comprising:
a left front corner bracket removably interconnecting with said front rail and said left side rail, including a top cap having a front cap flange and a side cap flange extending downward at a right angle therefrom for receiving said front rail and said left side rail on an outer edge of said top cap, said left front corner bracket including an inwardly facing vertical channel member having spaced apart flanges and perpendicular thereto an adjacent rearwardly facing channel member having spaced apart flanges extending from said top cap and spaced apart from said front cap flange and said side cap flange for removably holding a board therebetween; a right front corner bracket removably interconnecting with said front rail and said right side rail, including a top cap having a front cap flange and a side cap flange extending downward at a right angle therefrom for receiving said front rail and said right side rail on an outer edge of said top cap, said right front corner bracket including an inwardly facing vertical channel member having spaced apart flanges and perpendicular thereto an adjacent rearwardly facing channel member having spaced apart flanges extending from said top cap and spaced apart from said front cap flange and said side cap flange for removably holding a board therebetween; a left rear bracket removably interconnecting with said left side rail, including a top cap having an outer cap flange extending downward at a right angle therefrom for cooperatively engaging said side rail on an outside inner edge of said top cap, said left rear bracket including a forward facing vertical channel member having a pair of spaced apart flanges extending downward therefrom for holding a board therebetween, said forward facing vertical channel member spaced apart from said outer cap flange for receiving said left side rail therebetween, said top cap including an inward facing vertical channel member having a pair of spaced apart flanges for holding a board therebetween extending downward therefrom perpendicular and adjacent to said forward facing vertical channel member and spaced apart from said outer cap flange for receiving said left side rail therebetween, said forward facing vertical channel member including a stop means extending outwardly therefrom for cooperative engagement of a vertical frame member; and a right rear bracket removably interconnecting with said right side rail, including a top cap having an outer cap flange extending downward at a right angle therefrom for cooperatively engaging said side rail on an outside inner edge of said top cap, said right rear bracket including a forward facing vertical channel member having a pair of spaced apart flanges extending downward therefrom for holding a board therebetween, said forward facing vertical channel member spaced apart from said outer cap flange for receiving said right side rail therebetween, said top cap including an inward facing vertical channel member having a pair of spaced apart flanges for holding a board therebetween extending downward therefrom perpendicular and adjacent to said forward facing vertical channel member and spaced apart from said outer cap flange for receiving said right side rail therebetween said forward facing vertical channel member including a stop means extending outwardly therefrom for cooperative engagement of a vertical frame member.
