Abstract A removable boot for intercoupling the rear window aperture of a truck cab and the front facing window aperture of a camper carried by the truck is provided, the boot serving to afford communication between the truck and the camper. The boot is intended for use in conjunction with truck cabs having sliding rear windows, the boot being constructed to fit into a peripheral channel in the sliding window frame of the cab to the rear of the window itself. The boot includes a tubular plastic casing member with open ends. A two-piece metal frame is encased in the forward end of the tubular casing, so that it and the casing provide a hinge effect for easy installation and removal of the boot in the aforesaid peripheral channel in the sliding window frame of the truck cab. When the boot is in place, the window can still be opened and closed without in any way being impeded by the boot.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
183 words
A boot assembly intercoupling the forward end of the camper to the rear end of a truck cab, and having a forward end extending into a window aperture in the rear wall of the cab and supported in a peripheral channel extending around said aperture, and having a rear end extending into a window aperture in the forward wall of the camper, said boot assembly comprising: a flexible tubular member having a first open end and a second open end; and a two-piece frAme member formed of a pair of rigid Ushaped wires encased in said first open end of said flexible tubular member, each of said rigid wires extending half-way around the open end of the said tubular member so that the ends of the two wires are adjacent to one another, said wires being contoured to fit into the peripheral channel of the window aperture in the rear wall of the cab with the adjacent ends of the wires forming diametrically opposite hinge joints for the first open end so that said frame member may be snapped into the annular channel.
