Adjustable vehicle tailgate device

1. An adjustable vehicle tailgate device comprising:

a vehicle having a bed defined by a bottom wall and a pair of spaced sidewalls;

a tailgate having a pair of opposite ends;

a pair of hinge pins, each of said hinge pins being positioned to extend from an associated one of said opposite ends of said tailgate proximate a bottom of said tailgate such that said tailgate is pivotable between said sidewalls;

a pair of latch pins, each of said latch pins being positioned to extend from an associated one of said opposite ends of said tailgate proximate a top of said tailgate, each of said latch pins being engageable to an associated one of said sidewalls wherein said tailgate is secured in a static position relative to said sidewalls; and

wherein each of said opposite ends of said tailgate is positioned in spaced relationship to an associated one of said sidewalls wherein said tailgate is pivotable inwardly towards said bed to a position over said bottom wall.

2. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:

each of said sidewalls extending rearwardly from a terminal edge of said bottom wall; and

a well positioned at said terminal edge of said bottom wall, said well extending between said sidewalls, said bottom of said tailgate being seated in said well when said tailgate is in a closed position.

3. The device of claim 2 , further comprising a pair of hinge slots, each of said hinge slots extending through an associated one of said sidewalls, each of said hinge slots being aligned with said well, each of said hinge pins extending into an associated one of said hinge slots, said bottom of said tailgate being movable out of said well when said hinge pins are moved upwardly towards a top of said hinge slots wherein said tailgate is free to pivot inwardly into said bed.

4. The device of claim 1 , further comprising a pair of holes, each of said holes extending into an associated one of said sidewalls such that each of said latch pins is engageable to an associated one of said holes while said tailgate pivoted inwardly into said bed.

5. The device of claim 4 , further comprising each of said holes being positioned proximate said bottom wall wherein said tailgate is substantially parallel to said bottom wall when said tailgate is in an inwardly pivoted position.

6. The device of claim 5 , further comprising said tailgate laying flat on said bottom wall when said tailgate is in said inwardly pivoted position.

7. The device of claim 1 , further comprising each of said latch pins having a frustrated conical outer section relative to said tailgate.

8. The device of claim 7 , further comprising each of said latch pins being retractable into said tailgate such that said tailgate is pivotable between said sidewalls.

9. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a pair of apertures, each of said apertures extending into an associated one of said sidewalls proximate a top of said associated sidewall;

each of said hinge pins being positionable within an associated one of said apertures such that said tailgate is pivotably coupled to said sidewalls; and

a pair of supports, each of said supports extending from an associated one of said sidewalls into said bed, said supports being spaced from said bottom wall, said tailgate being pivotable to rest on said supports such that said tailgate is supported over said bottom wall when said hinge pins are engaged to said apertures defining an elevated position.

10. The device of claim 9 , further comprising said tailgate being positioned substantially parallel to said bottom wall when said tailgate is in said elevated position.

11. The device of claim 9 , further comprising a pair of sockets, each of said sockets extending into an associated one of said sidewalls proximate an associated one of said supports, each of said latch pins being inserted into an associated one of said sockets when said tailgate is in said elevated position.

12. The device of claim 9 , further comprising a fin coupled to an exterior surface of said tailgate such that said fin is positioned to extend upwardly from said bed when said tailgate is in said elevated position.

13. An adjustable vehicle tailgate device comprising:

a vehicle having a bed defined by a bottom wall and a pair of spaced sidewalls, each of said sidewalls extending beyond a terminal edge of said bottom wall;

a tailgate having a pair of opposite ends, each of said opposite ends of said tailgate being positioned in spaced relationship to an associated one of said sidewalls;

a pair of hinge pins, each of said hinge pins being positioned to extend from an associated one of said opposite ends of said tailgate proximate a bottom of said tailgate such that said tailgate is pivotable between said sidewalls;

a pair of latch pins, each of said latch pins being positioned to extend from an associated one of said opposite ends of said tailgate proximate a top of said tailgate, each of said latch pins being engageable to an associated one of said sidewalls wherein said tailgate is secured in a static position relative to said sidewalls, each of said latch pins being retractable into said tailgate such that said tailgate is pivotable between said sidewalls, each of said latch pins having a frustrated conical outer section relative to said tailgate;

a well positioned at said terminal edge of said bottom wall, said well extending between said sidewalls, said bottom of said tailgate being seated in said well when said tailgate is in a closed position;

a pair of hinge slots, each of said hinge slots extending through an associated one of said sidewalls, each of said hinge slots being aligned with said well, each of said hinge pins extending into an associated one of said hinge slots, said bottom of said tailgate being movable out of said well when said hinge pins are moved upwardly towards a top of said hinge slots wherein said tailgate is free to pivot inwardly into said bed;

a pair of holes, each of said holes extending into an associated one of said sidewalls such that each of said latch pins is engageable to an associated one of said holes while said tailgate pivoted inwardly into said bed, each of said holes being positioned proximate said bottom wall wherein said tailgate is substantially parallel to said bottom wall when said tailgate is in an inwardly pivoted position, said tailgate laying flat on said bottom wall when said tailgate is in said inwardly pivoted position;

a pair of apertures, each of said apertures extending into an associated one of said sidewalls proximate a top of said associated sidewall, each of said hinge pins being positionable within an associated one of said apertures such that said tailgate is pivotably coupled to said sidewalls;

a pair of supports, each of said supports extending from an associated one of said sidewalls into said bed, said supports being spaced from said bottom wall, said tailgate being pivotable to rest on said supports such that said tailgate is supported over said bottom wall when said hinge pins are engaged to said apertures defining an elevated position, said tailgate being positioned substantially parallel to said bottom wall when said tailgate is in said elevated position;

a pair of sockets, each of said sockets extending into an associated one of said sidewalls proximate an associated one of said supports, each of said latch pins being inserted into an associated one of said sockets when said tailgate is in said elevated position; and

a fin coupled to an exterior surface of said tailgate such that said fin is positioned to extend upwardly from said bed when said tailgate is in said elevated position.
