A bed extension for a pick-up comprising a load-carrying beam substantially parallel to the rear of the truck bed supported outwardly of the truck bed by means of suspension cables. The suspension cables are attached to the load carrying beams at one end and to a rigid member of the truck body or frame at the other end and pass over vertical stakes which fit into existing or installed rear stake compartments of the pick-up. The load-carrying beam is stabilized by truss members which are secured at one end to the load-carrying beam and at the other end to the rear bumper or rear bumper support. The bed extension is removable or collapsible and is compactly secured together in its disasembled condition so as to be easily stored.

Truck bed extension

A self-actuating drip valve for attachment to a standard faucet for the prevention of freezing of exposed water pipes. An elongated housing includes means for securing one end of the housing about the open end of the faucet. A valve seat is provided within the housing so that it is substantially adjacent to the faucet when the device is in use. Substantially concentric extendible walls extend between the elongated housing and a base plate. A valve stem, terminating in a valve tip, is secured to the base plate and extends within the extendible walls. The base plate may be adjusted by threadable means for moving the valve relative to the valve seat.
