Abstract
A gate assembly is adapted to be used with a vehicle which has a cargo area defined by at least two sides extending substantially parallel to one another and comprises a gate member adapted to be moveably disposed within the cargo area of the vehicle and having a body with first and second sides. Guiding apparatus is adapted to be connected to the vehicle to restrict movement of the gate member between an open position to allow access into the cargo area and a closed position to limit access into the cargo area. Follower apparatus is adapted to be connected to the gate member to cooperate with the guiding apparatus by restricting movement of the first end of the gate member along a direction line substantially parallel to the sides of the vehicle and for restricting movement of the second end of the gate member along a direction line substantially transverse to the parallel sides of the vehicle when the gate member is being moved between the open and closed position.
