Description

Sub-gate structure for expansion apparatus for pickup truck The present invention relates to a sub-gate structure for a cargo space expansion device of a pickup truck, and more specifically, to a sub-gate structure for a cargo space expansion device of a pickup truck that allows easy access to the cargo space of the pickup truck. Generally, a pickup truck's cargo space is formed by side parts provided on the left and right sides of the rear of the vehicle body, a tailgate part provided at the rear of the vehicle body, and a floor part defining the floor surface. In this case, items are loaded into the cargo space of the pickup truck, and the top is opened or closed with a cover or a tonnage cover. At this time, the toner cover is typically installed on one side of the pickup truck's cargo space and configured to allow the toner cover to be wound or extracted on a winding shaft inside the housing. In addition, the toner cover is equipped with multiple cover elements arranged and connected in parallel so that they can be wound and unwound. However, conventional pickup trucks have structural limitations that prevent them from loading cargo exceeding the height of the cargo space, and structural limitations that prevent access to the cargo space from the outside of the vehicle's side. Conventional technology refers to technical information that the inventor possessed for the derivation of the present invention or acquired during the process of deriving the present invention, and it cannot necessarily be considered publicly known technology disclosed to the general public prior to the filing of the present invention.
