Containers 11 and 22 may be arranged in a variety of arrangements to utilize longitudinal cavities 23 and 24 for a variety of uses, such as securing layers or sheets between them.
A pickup truck comprises a back section called a flatbed 2. Said flatbed 2 may be covered by a covering called a tonneau. The sides of the pick up truck flatbed 2 contain a curved surface called a lip (7 or 8). The flatbed 2 of a pick up truck usually has two humps; a right hump 3 over the right tire 9 and a left hump 4 or the left tire 10. The hump (3 or 4), also called a wheel well, is a part of the flatbed 2 wherein said hump (3 or 4) is elevated, and usually round in shape, because the hump (3 or 4) must fit the pick up truck tire (9 or 10) which is underneath said hump (3 or 4).
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a container 1 is added to the flatbed 2 of a pick up truck. Said container 11 is attachable to the lip (7 or 8) of the pick up truck by having an upper protrusion portion 17, of complementary shape to the lip (7 or 8), being placed under said lip (7 or 8). Said upper protrusion portion 17 is a part of said container 11. The bottom of said container 11 also has a cavity 19, which is of complementary shape to said hump (3 or 4). In one embodiment, said container 11 can be placed with said upper protrusion portion 17 underneath said lip (7 or 8), and with said cavity 19 over the hump (3 or 4), such that the container 11 is securely attached to the pick up truck. In one embodiment, the placement of said upper protrusion portion 17 under said lip (7 or 8), as well as the placement of said cavity 19 over said hump (3 or 4), is sufficient to secure, or to substantially secure, said container 11 to the pick up truck. In one embodiment, the container 11 does not need to be welded, glued, or otherwise permanently attached to said pick up truck, yet may still be securely attached to said pickup truck. In another embodiment, the container 11 may be welded, glued, or otherwise permanently attached to said pick up truck. In one further embodiment, the container 11 is capable of having a tonneau placed over said pick up truck bed.
In some pickup trucks, a portion of the pick up truck wall, above the hump (3 or 4), may extend outward from the side wall (5 or 6). In one embodiment, said container may include a shaft 54 above said hump (3 or 4) in order to fit said extending portion of the side wall. In one embodiment, said shaft 54 may have a complementary shape with said side wall (5 or 6).
In one embodiment, a person may attach the container 11 by taking the following steps: 1.) Stepping on to the flatbed 2 of the pick up truck with the container 11 in his or her hands; 2.) Placing the upper protrusion portion 17 just under the lip (7 or 8) while he or she holds the bottom of the container 11 which is angled away and not yet on the flatbed 2 of the pickup truck. 3.) Sliding the upper protrusion portion 17 up into the lip (7 or 8) while placing the bottom of the container 11 on the flatbed 2 so that the cavity 19 is over the hump (3 or 4). In this embodiment, the container 11 is now securely, or substantially securely, attached to the pick up truck. This is, in part, due to the fact that the lip (7 or 8) is covering the upper protrusion portion 17 and stopping, or substantially reducing, side to side motion and due to the fact that the cavity 19 is covering the hump (3 or 4) and stopping, or substantially reducing, front to back motion. 4.) In one embodiment, said container 11 has at least one fastener 20, such as a mounting tab extending from the bottom of the container 11 in a direction which is parallel to the flatbed 2. The driver may further secure the container 11 by using a screw gun to screw through said mounting tab, or tabs, and into the flatbed 2. In one embodiment, bolts may be used in lieu of screws. Various automobile manufacturers sell special security tire bolts which can only be handled with a tool of complementary shape. In one embodiment, said bolts are special security bolts which can only be handled by a tool of complementary shape. 5.) In one embodiment, the driver may place a tonneau over the back of the pick up truck. The container 11 will fit under said tonneau. 6.) In one embodiment, said container 11 is removable.
