Abstract:
A ladder rack assembly for a work vehicle has a stationary bed for attachment to the roof thereof. A pair of parallel, spaced apart rails has guides thereon that extend from the rails' first ends toward, but short their second ends. Rollers on side edges of a load support member ride on the bed rails. When the rollers are constrained by the guides, only translation of the load support member takes place. Upon exit of the rollers from the rear ends of the guides, both translation and rotation of the load support member can occur. A control arm is pivotally joined at one end to the stationary bed. Its free end has cam actuated latch pin assemblies attached to it that co-act with cams on the stationary bed during rearward displacement of the load support member to latch the load support member to the control arm whereby further rearward movement of the load support member causes it to tilt to a somewhat vertical position.

Claim (Index 7):
An apparatus for loading and unloading a load member onto and from a roof of a work vehicle comprising:\n a) a stationary bed adapted to be fixedly attached to a vehicle's roof; b) an elongate, rectilinear, load support member having opposed side edges; c) slide plate members pivotally coupled to the stationary bed and joined to the opposed side edges of the load support member such that the load support member can slide with respect to the slide plate members; and d) a control arm pivotally joined at one end to the stationary bed and an opposed end becoming coupled to the load support member during rearward movement of the load support member with respect to the work vehicle on the stationary bed, whereby continued rearward movement of the load support member results in rotation of the load support member from a horizontal orientation to an inclined orientation with respect to the stationary bed.
