Truck bed cover
11279212 · 2022-03-22 ·

A pickup truck bed cover includes foldable horizontal sections retained on a mounting frame by left and right latches attached under the sections. The latches mounting plates, left and right locks, and left and right operating mechanisms. The operating mechanisms are connected to the locks to pull the locks into disengagement with the mounting frame allowing the sections to be folded. Connecting members connect the operating mechanisms. When a handle of one of the operating mechanism is being twisted, both the left and right locking blocks are simultaneously retract to disengage with the mounting frame. When the handle is released, the left and right locks extend to engage the mounting frame. The rotation of the handles may be coupled to the locks by sliding cylinders having spiral surfaces engaged by inside protrusions in the handles. Springs inside the handles bias the sliding cylinders apart to engage the locks.

Vertically actuating automated tonneau cover for trucks
11305627 · 2022-04-19 ·

A tonneau cover system for a vehicle includes a cover, a scissor lift assembly, and an electric actuator. The scissor lift has a fixed arm for mounting to an inner side panel of a cargo bed of the vehicle and a plurality of movable arms coupled to the fixed arm for selectively raising and lowering the cover in dependence upon a distance between a drive point on one of the movable arms and the fixed arm. The electric actuator has an end anchored at a fixed position relative to the fixed arm and a second end coupled to the drive point. The actuator dynamically changes length under electrical power to be between an extended length and a retracted length thereby changing the distance between the drive point and the fixed arm. A controller control the electric actuator to change length in accordance with a user input signal.
