Exterior truck bed and tailgate armor systems

摘要

An exterior truck bed and tailgate armor system is an armored cover for the exterior surface of a pickup bed that is able to be quickly installed to protect the exterior surface of the pickup bed from scratches and minor dents. The truck-bed armor assembly has three sections to cover the left side, the right side and the tailgate of the truck bed. The left side and right side covers have a curled lip at the bottom edge that hook underneath the bottom edges of the bed, and fasten to the top edge of the lip of the bed using clamps that may be attached and tightened without the use of tools. The tailgate section hinges along the width of the upper periphery and uses flush mounting threaded fasteners on the upper periphery.

1. An exterior truck bed and tailgate armor system comprising:
a truck-bed armor assembly comprising;
a left-side cover having;
a bottom-edge attachment;a plurality of top-edge attachers; anda plurality of cushions;a right-side cover having;
a lower-edge attachment;a plurality of upper-edge attachers; anda plurality of anti-rub pads;a tailgate cover having;
a lower periphery;an upper periphery having a plurality of attachment orifices;a plurality of folding fasteners; anda plurality of inner padding spacers; wherein said truck-bed armor assembly comprising said left-side cover, said right-side cover, and said tailgate cover are structured and arranged to form-fit to an exterior surface of a pickup bed of a pickup truck; wherein said left-side cover is able to be attached parallel planar to said outer left side of said pickup bed, said bottom-edge attachment integral with said left-side cover and hooking underneath a bottom edge of said left side of said pickup bed; wherein said plurality of top-edge attachers are rotatably attached to an inner top side of said left-side cover and are structured and arranged to clamp to a top edge lip of said left side of said pickup bed; wherein said plurality of cushions are attached to an inner surface of said left-side cover such that said cushions prevent an exterior of said left side of said pickup bed from contacting said inner surface of said left-side cover; wherein said right-side cover is able to be attached parallel planar to said outer right-side of said pickup bed, said lower-edge attachment integral with said right-side cover and hooking underneath a bottom periphery of said right side of said pickup bed; wherein said plurality of upper-edge attachers are rotatably attached to an inner upper-edge of said right-side cover and are structured and arranged to clamp to an upper-edge lip of said right side of said pickup bed; wherein said plurality of anti-rub pads are attached to an inside surface of said right-side cover such that said anti-rub pads prevent an outer surface of said right side of said pickup bed from contacting said inside surface of said right-side cover; wherein said tailgate cover is able to be attached parallel planar to a tailgate of said pickup truck, said upper periphery of said tailgate cover hingedly attached to a top inner side of said tailgate and said lower periphery of said tailgate cover hooked underneath a shell lip of said tailgate via an angled lower lip; wherein said plurality of attachment orifices are located in said upper periphery of said tailgate cover, said upper periphery fastened to said tailgate via said folding fasteners through said attachment orifices; wherein said plurality of inner padding spacers are attached to an inner-facing contact surface of said tailgate cover such that said inner padding spacers prevent a rear-facing surface of said tailgate of said pickup bed from contacting said inner-facing contact surface of said tailgate cover; and wherein said truck-bed armor assembly is useful for attaching to said exterior surface of said pickup bed to provide an exteriorly located armored cover to prevent scratches and minor damage to said pickup bed during an event wherein a high probability of damage is likely to occur.
