Apparatus for unloading material from a truck bed
An improved tarp specifically configured and adapted for transporting cargo in a truck bed, and unloading cargo from the truck bed at a desired location. The tarp includes several foldable flaps or panels which may be used to secure the cargo within the tarp. The tarp may include several loops which may be used for pulling the tarp out of the truck bed and unloading the cargo from the tarp. Also, the tarp may have several strengthening strips which pull the cargo out of the truck bed.

Automotive vehicle interior protective device for the transportation of garbage or any similar products
The device for the protection of the interior of an automotive vehicle comprises a flexible liner at the inside of the vehicle and means for holding the liner in this interior. The liner has, at least in part surrounding its rear opening, a protective flap arranged to cover the edge of the trunk opening and at least the upper portion forms a flap continuous with the top side of the liner and incorporates means to hold the flap in position in the upper rabbet of the periphery of the trunk opening. The side flaps are provided for covering the rear edges of the lateral sides of the vehicle, and a rear closure panel, in a rearward extension of the bottom side of the liner, the trunk threshold and the bumper to be covered and is also sized to provide, when pulled up, a rear closure wall of the liner.
Resin-laminated board
A resin-laminated board includes a front-side sheet and a backside sheet layered on each other with a hollow part interposed therebetween. The backside sheet is recessed toward the hollow part to provide a plurality of first recesses and a plurality of second recesses. The front-side sheet and the backside sheet are connected to each other with plural ribs by welding bottoms of the first recesses and the second recesses to the front-side sheet. The resin-laminated board has a thin-plate part having the first recesses with small depth and a thick-plate part having the second recesses with large depth, and the first recesses and the second recesses are arranged at substantially the same pitch.
Load and lock containers for carrying goods in vehicles and associated methods
Containers can be used on moving vehicles such as trucks (like pick-up trucks) that have elements on the outside of those containers that allow the containers to be affixed and/or secured to the moving vehicle. The containers can also be easily removed so that they no longer are affixed and/or secured to the moving vehicle. The inside of the container allows goods to be inserted inside the container so that the goods can be transported without the fear of the container failing over and/or the goods falling out of the container. The containers/totes contain protrusions and/or depressions that allow them to snap fit into correspondingly opposite depressions and/or protrusions on the surface of a vehicle or the surface of an optionally present intermediary layer. If an intermediary layer is present, the intermediary layer can be affixed to and or secured to a surface on a vehicle.

Vehicle interior board and method for manufacturing the same
Included are a first board having a hard polyurethane foam layer formed in a space sandwiched between a pair of thin plates, and a second board having a porous structure where a recessed groove is formed in one main surface, a part of the second board being arranged in the space and joined to the first board. The hard polyurethane foam layer is also formed in gaps between the thin plates and the second board to join the boards. Thus, the step of molding the first board can join and integrate the boards, and mold a bendable, lightweight, and very strong vehicle interior board. Therefore, the vehicle interior board can be reduced in number of parts, simplified in manufacturing process, and improved in productivity.
Modular trailer system
A modular trailer system comprising a plurality of curved panels, where each panel is elongate and has a first side with an angled projection and an opposing second side with an angled slot such that the angled projection of one panel is capable of fitting into the angled slot of another panel, allowing the panels to join together to form a continuously curved surface. The modular trailer system may further comprise a first top rail with an angled slot capable of receiving the angled projection of one of the plurality of curved panels and a second top rail with an angled projection capable of fitting into the angled slot of another of the plurality of curved panels. The plurality of curved panels, first top rail, and second top rail may be assembled together to form an elongate trailer body with a partially circular cross section, such that the trailer body has a continually rounded bottom and sides and an open top.
LOAD FLOOR HAVING SOUND ABSORPTION AND INSULATION PERFORMANCES FOR VEHICLE
A load floor for a vehicle, by which, as the load floor is manufactured by including manufacturing a honeycomb structure with paper and adding polyurethane sheets to both side surfaces of the honeycomb structure, light and sufficient structural stiffness and a sound absorption effect are obtained through the honeycomb structure. As the polyurethane sheets are respectively provided on both surfaces of the honeycomb structure, sound absorption and insulation performances are obtained to further increase a sound absorption and insulation effect.
LOAD FLOOR WITH ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
A load floor assembly for a motor vehicle. The load floor assembly comprises a structural core, a first surface layer situated on a first side of the structural core, and a second surface layer situated on a second side of the structural core. The load floor assembly also includes an embedded layer positioned intermediate at least one of the first and second surface layers and the structural core. At least one electronic component is incorporated into the embedded layer, to provide a secondary functionality to the load floor assembly.
