A curtain airbag device mounting structure includes: a first pillar forming a part of a front pillar and extends substantially along a vehicle height direction; a second pillar forming another part of the front pillar, the second pillar being disposed on a rear side of a vehicle relative to the first pillar at a predetermined distance from the first pillar and extending substantially along the vehicle height direction; a transparent member bridged between the first pillar and the second pillar; and a curtain airbag device including a curtain airbag stored along a roof side rail and the second pillar, the curtain airbag being configured to inflate and deploy in a curtain-like fashion over a side portion of a cabin of the vehicle in case of a collision of the vehicle.

A removable connector used for connecting two or more wall panels. The connector is accessible to a user in a vertical space between the connected wall panels open to both front face and rear face of each panel. The user is able to easily engage and move the connector, relative to the wall panels, to latch and unlatch the connector with a view to connecting and disconnect the panels.

An expandable kiosk structure with a front face, a rear face, a first side structural unit and a second side structural unit arranged such that the front face and rear face are parallel and connect the first and second side structural units to form a box shaped structure that is expandable from a collapsed form an expanded form in which the front face, the rear face, and the first and second side structural units define an interior workspace in the box shaped structure. The front and rear faces each have an outwardly extendable portion that is hingeably or pivotally foldable onto a remaining portion of the front or rear face. Rolling mechanisms are disposed bottom corners and extendable brackets are disposed at the top corners connecting to a shading unit supported by a shading unit support structure. Front and rear shelf units are hingeably attached to the front and rear faces. One or more extendable chassis brackets extend along the length of the top and bottom edges of the front and rear faces to permit expansion of the first and second side structural units. The front face chassis bracket is strongly connected to a perpendicular revolving rod handle (trailer coupler) that aids in maneuvering the kiosk prior to attachment to or subsequent to detachment from its towing vehicle as well as during towing.

A collapsible sun shelter that includes an arch support and a rollable flat mat that is configured to expand to include a canopy section and further includes a floor area portion, an upwardly deployable area portion at least two mat anchor points and at least two arch support openings. The rollable mat has an upwardly deployable area portion defined by an outer perimeter passing through at least one layer of the rollable flat mat such that the upwardly deployable area portion remains connected with the floor area portion when the upwardly deployable area portion is extended upwardly in a deployed configuration.

An expandable shade and shelter system that includes an expandable grid structure of reversibly expandable cells in a two-dimensional grid configured to collapse to a rectangular cuboid with a top surface, an anchored bottom, an anchored first end, an expandable second end, and two expandable sides. The system includes a connecting device fixed at corners of the top surface and/or the expandable second end of the structure, a vertically oriented support structure having a top and bottom ends, where the expandable grid structure is configured to expand upwardly from the second end and inwardly towards the top of the vertically oriented support structure, while the anchored first end remains anchored, to connect the connecting device to the top of the vertically oriented support structure to form a three dimensional shelter.

A retractable barrier system and method for inhibiting access to designated private and public areas both indoors and outdoor, including retail and warehouse aisles and the like, includes a flexible screen retractable and extensible from a rotatable rod coupled to a mounting member, the mounting member having an attachment mechanism for coupling with a receiving member such as storage rack assembly support post or bracket or the like.

An expanded kiosk and kiosk system that is collapsible and deployable by expansion and contraction. The kiosk includes a lighting system adapted to provide a light characteristic to the kiosk and represent a lamp post or light post for public or private spaces. Deployment of the kiosk includes moving first and second vertically-oriented structural units away from one another such that one or more of a canopy, a working surface and/or a front-facing surface are fully deployed and the canopy surface and working surface are substantially parallel to one another.

An expandable structure that includes front and rear structural units having inside-facing surfaces parallel to one another, a retractable top that spans the front and rear structural units, and first and second retractable partitions each of which spans and connects the front and rear structural units. The front structural unit is fixably attached to a substrate and the rear structural unit is mounted on a rolling mechanism so that the rear structural unit may be moved away from the front structural unit in an orientation perpendicular to the face of the first structural unit to a distance equivalent to a deployed depth of the first retractable partition, the second retractable partition and the retractable top.
