A truck grille guard mounting bracket consisting of a first laterally elongated clevis having front and rear arms, the front arm being adapted for fixed attachment to a truck bumper, the rear arm being adapted for fixed attachment to truck spring hangers, truck chassis members, or to a truck tow hook arm; the distal end of the rear arm of the first laterally elongated clevis forming a plurality of second devises, each second clevis being adapted for nesting receipt of and fixed attachment to truck chassis members or to truck spring hangers; and a plurality of third devises extending forwardly from the front arm of the first laterally elongated clevis, the second clevis being adapted for support of and pivoting attachment of a truck grille guard.

Truck grille guard mounting bracket

An impact absorbing truck grille guard having a rear frame consisting of a matrix of triangular tubes, the rear frame having an upper end, a lower end, and a forward end, the forward end of the rear frame defining a forwardly opening deflection space; a front frame having an upper end, a lower end, and a forward animal impact surface, the upper and lower ends of the front frame being respectively fixedly attached to the upper and lower ends of the rear frame, the front frame consisting of a rectangular array of hollow collapsible tubes, the front frame being adapted for, upon animal impact, deflecting rearwardly into the forwardly opening deflection space; and a truck mounting bracket fixedly attached to the lower end of the rear frame, the truck mounting bracket being adapted for fixed attachment to a truck front end and for cantilevered upward extension of the front and rear frames.

Impact absorbing truck grille guard

An apparatus for controlling articulating motion of an article such as a truck grille guard, the apparatus having a clevis having left and right arms; an article support axle extending laterally through a lower end of the clevis; a second laterally extending axle spanning between the arms of the clevis at the clevis's upper end; an upper guy having an upper end pivotally mounted upon the second axle, a lower guy having an upper end pivotally mounted upon a lower end of the upper guy, and an article supporting hinge sleeve fixedly mounted upon a lower end of the lower guy, the upper and lower guys being alternately flexible and extendable between an upwardly articulated article position and a downwardly articulated article position.

Articulation controlling apparatus

A method of attaching first and second lengths of fiberglass reinforced plastic pipe, the method comprising the steps of winding the first length of pipe around a metal female member, threading a metal male member onto an end of the second length of pipe, and threading the male member into the female member.
