Patent attributes
A mattress display vehicle has a curbside side door that opens to a central display area. Large windows visually open the space and an independent power source enables a heating or air-conditioning unit to be operated when the vehicle engine is turned off. A rack extends between the fore and aft storage areas. One of the storage areas has a relatively tall storage compartment and can be used for storing king-sized mattresses, and the other storage has horizontal storage slots stacked with a shorter storage compartment. Two dollies can be shuttled back and forth between lower storage compartments in the storage areas, carrying different mattresses to the prospective purchaser. The dolly has telescoping members that slide in and out of cross members at each end of the dolly. Lateral bed rails are mounted on the ends of the telescoping members, and can be locked in different positions for mattresses of different widths using locking pins. Risers can be used to lift the dolly and the mattress to a standard height. The horizontal slots in the storage areas can be used to display three or more different mattresses on the dollies.
