This invention is a tailgate for a pickup truck having a unibody frame that is pivotally secured at its lower end proximal the rear end of the truck bed. The frame includes a pair of linear risers that fit into the rear vertical recesses of the sidewalls of the truck when the tailgate is in a closed position. The risers support a plurality of bowed lateral beams that extend outwardly from the rear of the truck to extend the length of its cargo bay when the tailgate is in its closed. The bowed beams support a set of flat angled ramps that are aligned with the truck bed. The tailgate is swung to an open position so that the ramps extend down from the truck bed and are joined by a detachable ramp to form one or more low incline ramps for loading and unloading items into the cargo bay.

A wearable spinal support system having an upper body adapter engaging the head and / or torso of a wearer and a lower body adapter engaging the hips / pelvis, the upper and lower body adapters joined by an articulated structural column. The structural column is made up of stacked vertebral elements each having an aperture provided there through such that a tendon can be fed through the aligned apertures of the vertebral elements. The tendons are fixed at one end and each engaged to mechanical control element at the other end such that the tension / payout in each tendon is independently variable under direction of a controller receiving sensor feedback in order to support the loaded upper body of the wearer and position it relative to the lower body when desirable according to the controller.

Size altering transportation monitor cart whose horizontal width can be expanded or retracted by pulling stopper pins and pulling or pushing the horizontal frame open, closed or to a varying degree between opened or closed.

The present invention discloses various aspects of a cable reel trailer that uses the automotive force of a tractor or truck used to transport the trailer, a method of making same, and a method of using. The inclusion of a pivotally connected tongue that is pivotally connected to the main frame of the trailer overcomes many of the aforementioned problems with the prior art because there is no motor or hydraulic system necessary for lifting the cable reel securely on to the trailer. In accordance with the present invention, the towing automotive force, such as a truck, tractor or any other hauling vehicle, provides all the power for lifting the cable reel, rather than requiring a separate power source on the trailer for doing the heavy lifting. By locking up the wheel on the trailer with a wheel stop, the forward movement provided by a towing truck can concentrate on lifting the cable reel instead of moving the trailer forward. This means that no separate on-board power is needed for lifting the cable reel.

A method for operating a vehicle, whereby the vehicle, parked at a parking position in a parking facility, is guided autonomously from the parking position to a loading station and parked autonomously at the loading station, so that the vehicle can be loaded at the loading station. Also described is a related vehicle and computer program.

Disclosed is a transportable cake carrier that protects tall, multilayer pastry products from the perils of unexpected turns, uneven pavement, pot-holes and sudden stops of the vehicles doing the delivery. In addition to vehicle borne perils the new and unique carrier addresses ease of placement and removal of the pastry from the carrier, keeping the pastry refrigerated and placement and removal of the carrier from the vehicle. A unique combination of tying the top, base, pedestal and layer separators firmly together, with a sturdy, easy to clean and reusable housing and outstanding human engineering make transport damage a thing of the past. In addition this unique carrier fulfills the spirit of federal LEEDs sustainability requirements with completely reusable components and by keeping ruined product out of the landfills.

A vehicle leveler includes a first portion having a leading edge and a trailing edge, the trailing edge is disposed further from the driveway than the leading edge. The vehicle leveler also includes a second portion which has a leading edge and a trailing edge, the leading edge of the second portion is removably attached to the trailing edge of the first portion and the leading edge of the second portion is disposed further from the driveway than the trailing edge of the second portion. The second portion also includes an extension portion which extends from the trailing edge of the second portion toward a rear of the leveler and includes a substantially flat section disposed about parallel with the substantially flat driveway. The first portion and second portion are separate from each other until they are removably attached by a connection apparatus.
