Truck Bed Mountable Storage System

摘要

A truck bed mountable storage system (10) that includes a container unit (12) and a dock unit (14). The container unit includes a base container (16) defining a storage space (20) for storing items and a cover (18). The cover (18) is movable between an open condition permitting access to the storage space (20) and a closed condition preventing access to the storage space (20). The container unit also includes a latch engaging structure (22). The dock unit is constructed and arranged to be fixed to a truck bed (24). The docking unit (14) includes a latch arranged to releasably lock the latch engaging structure (22) so as to releasably lock the container unit (12) to the dock unit (14). The dock unit carries a release member (28) that is movable to release the latch and thereby release the container unit (12) from the dock unit (14). Another aspect of the invention provides for the dock unit (14) to include the latch engaging structure (22) and the container unit to include the latch (26) and release member (28).
