摘要： A tailgate adjuster in a preferred example comprises an adjustably locking rotatable bracket comprising a plurality of rotatably linked shank components, with at least one shank component joined to a sprocket component having a plurality of sprocket teeth, and at least one other shank component joined to a rotatable trigger component having a sprocket-engaging trigger tooth. The trigger component is preferably spring biased to maintain the trigger tooth in an engaged position with the sprocket teeth, and can be adjusted to disengage the trigger component from the sprocket teeth. The sprocket teeth are spaced to permit the locking of shank components at a desired angle to each other. Holes at each end of the tailgate adjuster permit the rotatable mounting of one such end to a vehicle tailgate or hatchback and the other end to a fixed location of the vehicle. In other examples the invention concerns a tailgate-reinforcing sheath and methods for maintaining a vehicle tailgate or other hinged door, gate or window in a one of a plurality of partly open positions.

摘要翻译： 在优选示例中，后挡板调节器包括可调节锁定的可旋转托架，其包括多个可旋转地连接的柄部件，其中至少一个柄部件连接到具有多个链轮齿的链轮部件，以及至少一个连接到 可旋转的触发器部件具有链轮啮合的触发齿。 触发器部件优选地被弹簧偏置以将触发器齿保持在与链轮齿接合的位置，并且可以被调整以将触发器部件与链轮齿脱离。 链轮齿是间隔开的，以允许柄部件彼此以期望的角度锁定。 后挡板调节器的每端的孔允许将一个这样的端部可旋转地安装到车辆后挡板或两厢车，另一端到车辆的固定位置。 在其他示例中，本发明涉及一种后挡板加强护套和用于将多个部分打开位置中的一个中的车辆后挡板或其他铰接门，门或窗口保持的方法。
