The present invention relates to an improved, multifunctional truck bed cover system. The truck bed cover system comprises a plurality of solar panels embedded in a primary truck bed cover and an additional two to three panels configured to be deployed over a cab of the truck using an aluminum frame. The primary truck bed cover is configured to be pivotally movable and inclines using a pair of hinged arms, the hinged arms have movable members that laterally move along channels positioned on sidewalls of the truck bed to incline and decline the truck bed cover. The system can recharge the main battery of the truck and can also recharge an optical or auxiliary battery coupled to an inverter for providing electric power to external items connected to a power socket positioned in the truck bed.

Novel techniques are provided for implementing a tonneau cover system. A tonneau cover system might include a first side rail configured to be coupled to a side wall of a bed of a truck, a first connection plate attached to and extending from the first side rail, a second connection plate, an extension plate extending from and attached to the second connection plate, and a cover for covering the bed of the truck and coupled to the extension plate. The first connection plate might include a recess on a bottom surface of the first connection plate. The second connection plate might include a first protrusion mirroring the first recess on the first connection plate. The first protrusion of the second connection plate might removably engage with the recess on the bottom surface of the first connection plate to couple the second connection plate to the first connection plate.

A telescoping truck bed shell is disclosed herein. The truck bed shell is capable of being retracted so that the user can have full access to the truck bed and also extended so that the user can have a protected volume at the truck bed in order to store things. The telescoping truck bed has traversable frames and a traversable cover wherein the frames and cover may be traversed between extended and retracted positions depending on whether the truck bed shell is being deployed or stored.

A canister comprising: (a) a space configured to receive a tonneau cover so that the tonneau cover is stored within the canister; and (b) one or more track guides that guide the canister relative to a roller track, a bed of a vehicle, a rail extension, a cap, or a combination thereof; and wherein the one or more track guides assist the canister in being inserted into or removed from the bed of the vehicle.

A tarpaulin system for a container includes one or more rods extending transversely from the container, a pneumatic system including a pneumatic actuator, a roll-out cover system including a spring, a first support plate including a first surface and a second surface, a second support plate, and one or more rod housings extending transversely from the container. The one or more rod housings are slidably disposed along the one or more rods, and the roll-out cover system is at least partially attached to the first surface. The one or more rod housings are attached to the second surface, and the pneumatic system is attached to the second support plate. The pneumatic actuator is configured to slidably and transversely move the roll-out cover system along the one or more rods based on a pneumatic force generated by the pneumatic actuator.

The present invention relates to an automatic cover apparatus for a cargo compartment of a truck, the apparatus including a cover for opening and closing the top of the cargo compartment and two supporting rods installed on either side of the cover to transfer the cover (200) from the front to the rear of the cargo compartment. A winding drum is installed between the two supporting rods, for winding and withdrawing the cover, with two winding drum reinforcing portions installed a certain distance apart at the center thereof. A stopper is installed a certain distance apart on both sides at the upper rear of the cargo compartment and has a downward slope of 35° and 80°.
