AUTO POWER TAILGATE

HAYON ELEVATEUR AUTOMATIQUE

English Abstract

Power Tailgate:
Abstract:
"Auto Power Tailgate" is a tailgate system for vehicles, which can be operated
mechanically,
electrically or hydraulically to bring the tailgate up and down (raised or
lowered) for ease of
loading/unloading without any modification to the existing structure of the
vehicle. This tailgate
mechanism would allow the tailgate to be brought down to the ground level from
the truck bed
level and vice versa. "Auto Power Tailgate" would be manufactured as a light
weight yet high
strength assernbly. Tailgate still have the capability to open and close to
the Cargo box. It will
have the ability to extend the tailgate to double the size of the tailgate.
Electrotonic Sensors will
control and monitor the bed movement (up and down) to prevent any damages to
the tailgate
or any other object in its path, it would allow this invention to be used
remotely or manually
without worrying about the Safety when operating the "Auto Power Tailgate".

Extendable tray inside the "Auto Power tailgate" will expand the size of the
tailgate (double the
footprint of the tailgate) Fig 7
Electronic sensor attached to the "Auto Power tailgate" and the extended
tailgate will detect the
objects when the tailgate is in operation. It will stop the operation
automatically if the
sensors detect any object within a set distance. To prevent damage. Which
would allow
it to be used remotely or manually. Fig 8

Intended use of the Invention:
Vehicles with a "Auto power Tailgate" would be able to easily load and Unload
cargo on to the
cargo box. Cargo such as an ATV, motorcycle, Lawn mower or even heavy cargo
etc. Would be
able to load the cargo box without additional equipment such as ramps etc.
