An apparatus for covering at least a portion of a cargo area of a vehicle, the apparatus includes a frame; one or more side panels attached to the frame; one or more quarter panels attached to the frame; a rear panel; a roof panel supported by the frame; and a lifting mechanism configured to reposition the roof panel relative to the frame and/or the one or more side panels. The lifting mechanism has a handle, a lifter, and a track supporting the lifter. Movement of the handle causes the track to move in a first direction, which causes the lifter to slide in the track in a second direction to raise and/or lower the lifter, which causes the roof panel to be moved or repositioned.

The present invention provides a cover assembly for a cargo bed of a pickup truck, utility truck, or other vehicle. The cover assembly is fixed onto the sidewalls of the cargo bed to provide cover or shelter thereon to protect the load from weather, vandalism, etc. The cover assembly is expandable in all three axes or in any two axes or in any axis and thus can be used for different size cargo beds. The cover assembly includes rails mounted on the sidewalls of the cargo bed, panels, edge frames mounted to the rails, and corner frames. The assembly includes a door assembly that includes one or more door flaps movably hinged to one of the panels. The cover assembly includes support assembly mounted to the rails that includes beams and columns connected together by means of connectors.

A movable, tarp enclosure system includes a movable carriage having a main body and plural primary support wheels connected to the main body, at least one of the wheels being disposed at a first vertical level and at least one of the wheels being disposed at a being vertical level. The system also includes a support rail having a first and second support walls, the upper surfaces of which are respectively engaged by the carriage wheel(s) disposed at the first vertical level and at the second vertical level for movably supporting the movable carriage on the support rail.

An apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises a forward magnetic assembly that is formed along the forward edge of the main body. The forward magnetic assembly includes: (1) a reinforcement that is secured to the main body along at least a portion of the forward edge; (2) a first magnet that is secured to the main body along at least a portion of the forward edge of the main body and positioned to be substantially adjacent to the third reinforcement, where the first magnets is dimensioned such that first magnet, as secured to the main body, is configured to form an interference fit within a gap of a forward assembly of a vehicle; and (3) a fourth reinforcement that is formed along at least a portion of the forward edge of the main body, where the fourth reinforcement is positioned to be substantially adjacent to the first magnet.

A method for enhancing the rain and sun protection of a golf cart roof using a rain and sun shield device. The rain and sun shield for a covered golf cart is semi-permanently attached to the roof of a golf cart. The device is easy to install; will retrofit to any standard golf cart roof; does not interfere with the parking and storing profile (i.e. are sized to fit within the perimeter of any standard golf cart roof when in the closed position) of a fleet of golf carts. The device is easily opened and closed to provide the golf cart user with added sun and rain protection when in use.

Disclosed herein are embodiments of a clamp assembly for attaching a tonneau cover to a vehicle. The clamp assembly can include a bow hanger comprising a main body extending between first and second ends and a protrusion extending away from the main body and along a portion of a length thereof. The clamp assembly can have a bow slide comprising a head configured to surround and move along the bow hanger. The clamp assembly can have a slot configured to receive the protrusion of the bow hanger, wherein engagement between the protrusion and the slot of the bow slide prevents the bow slide from rotating around the bow hanger. In some embodiments, the clamp assembly includes a handle coupled to the bow slide and a cam follower. The cam follower can engage rails of the handle which can be disposed either internally or externally of the handle.

An apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises a forward magnetic assembly that is formed along the forward edge of the main body. The forward magnetic assembly includes: (1) a reinforcement that is secured to the main body along at least a portion of the forward edge; (2) a first magnet that is secured to the main body along at least a portion of the forward edge of the main body and positioned to be substantially adjacent to the third reinforcement, where the first magnets is dimensioned such that first magnet, as secured to the main body, is configured to form an interference fit within a gap of a forward assembly of a vehicle; and (3) a fourth reinforcement that is formed along at least a portion of the forward edge of the main body, where the fourth reinforcement is positioned to be substantially adjacent to the first magnet.

A vehicle enclosure includes a roof element that rotates upward from the occupant space to increase the passenger opening and increase ease of entry. The roof element is secured to and rotates about a horizontal vehicle frame element. The roof element also supports a windshield at the upper edge of the windshield during travel. The horizontal frame element is formed of a rigid tubular cross-section member including tubular hinge elements to which the roof element is secured to enable the rotating action of the roof element.

The invention is a kit for attaching to a truck cap to enable the cap to be lifted off of and lowered onto a truck by lines from above. The kit includes: a first rail and a second rail, each configured to attach to the truck cap; a first pair of sliding masts for releasably attaching to the first rail and a second pair of sliding masts for releasably attaching to the second rail. Each of the sliding mast includes: a sled which is captured by the rail, and is slidable along the rail, and is adapted to be secured at various points along the rail; and a brace with one end attached to the sled and the other end adapted to receive one of the lines. In another aspect, the kit includes multiple lifting devices.

The golf club cover is an apparatus that acts as a rain cover for protecting golf clubs in golf bags, placed in the rear section of a golf cart. To accomplish this, the apparatus includes a transparent sheet that is held securely between two PVC rod structures, such that the transparent sheet does not hinder the rear view of the driver. The rod structures have bungee cords with fastening elements at the end of the bungee cords, such that the apparatus may be attached on the golf cart roof and body, without having to have any additional fastening features on the golf cart. Further, the apparatus may be rolled up and compactly stored within the golf bag in a sleeve. Furthermore, the arrangement of the bungee cords at the lower end enables a user to retrieve contents from one golf bag without exposing the other bag to the elements.
