That's about it.
That is an "oh duh" to any engineer in high sckool.

The only reason it might seem "unique" is probably that all past similar patents have since all dried up.
Not one single US truck manufacturer bought and implemented this common convenience...over the last 100 years....

Then look at the ramp angle with the 8" hump in the middle of it.

Look at the flat thin deflection surface vs. load.

It's not rocket science. But it should be.
