Hinged truck bed stop
A truck bed stop, including a bottom base; an upper base, hingedly attached to the bottom base; one or more attachment points disposed on the upper base portion; and one or more attachment rods, wherein a first end of one of the one or more attachment rods is configured to attach to one of the one or more attachment points disposed on the upper base and a second end of the one of the one or more attachment rods is configured to attach to one of one or more secondary anchor points, and wherein the one or more attachment rods are configured to hold the upper base in an angled position relative to the bottom base.
VEHICULAR CARGO RETAINER ASSEMBLY
A vehicular cargo restraint assembly includes a support platform. A plurality of panels are each movably coupled to the support platform. Each of the panels is independently movable between a first position wherein the panel is flat against the support platform, and a second position wherein the panel is offset from the support platform and configured to prevent the movement of cargo within a vehicle cabin.
TRAILER WITH AT LEAST ONE MOVABLE INNER WALL
The present disclosure provides a trailer having a portion configurable for dual use and a method of transforming a portion of the trailer. The trailer has at least one moveable inner wall configured to move toward the front wall of the trailer to a first position and away from the front wall to a second position. The first position of the at least one movable inner wall defines an enclosure to have a first volume and the second position of the at least one movable inner wall defines the enclosure to have a second volume, wherein the first volume is less than the second volume.
Device and method for subdividing vehicle cab and/or storage space into a number of sub-portions
A device for subdividing vehicle cabs and/or storage spaces into a number of sub-portions, comprising a number of deformable walls and a drive unit for moving the walls between an open position, in which the walls do not subdivide the cab and/or the storage space, and a closure position, in which the walls subdivide the cab and/or the storage space into the sub-portions. The walls become deformed during movement between the closure position and the open position. Also included is a method for subdividing vehicle cabs and/or storage spaces into a number of sub-portions and a vehicle.
RACK AND PINION ROLLER GATE SYSTEM FOR A LIVESTOCK TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE, AND METHOD OF OPERATION THEREOF
A roller gate system for a livestock transportation vehicle includes a rack and pinion gate movement system, with a roller gate assembly having toothed rollers connected by a rotatable roller shaft positioned in line with the center of gravity of the roller gate assembly when hanging substantially vertically. The pinion is a roller having a plurality of teeth, and the rack is a track having a plurality of openings for receiving the roller teeth. At each end of the rotatable roller shaft, the toothed roller is fixedly mounted thereto for travel along the track. The toothed rollers operate in unison to move the roller gate assembly in a uniform and smooth manner. By having the toothed rollers and the rotatable roller shaft positioned in line with the center of gravity of the roller gate assembly when hanging substantially vertically, the roller gate assembly remains in a substantially vertical orientation during travel.
MODULAR SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING MOBILE WORKSTATIONS
A system for use with a van having: a front seat; and a cargo area including a floor and an aisle extending rearwardly from the seat and flanked by support portions. The system comprises: panels which in use define a room having: a terminus which separates the room from the seat; a wipe clean ceiling having: a central portion overlying the aisle and flanked by strips, each overlying a support portion; for each support portion, a wipe clean flanking wall extending substantially vertically from the edge of the floor; for each flanking wall, a substantially flat, wipe clean inclined wall extending from said each flanking wall to the edge of the ceiling defined by the strip overlying the support portion for which said flanking wall is provided; a plurality of frame members which, in use, are sandwiched between the chassis and the panel members; and at least one furnishing element.
Deployable storage system for a truck
A deployable storage system is provided for a truck. That deployable storage system includes a truck bed wall and a storage cabinet that is integrated into the truck bed wall. The storage cabinet is configured to be displaceable between a stowed position held within the truck bed wall and a deployed position extending above the truck bed wall.
Livestock transport container
A livestock container has a plurality of levels and compartments formed by a plurality of convertible platforms and compartment gates. In some embodiments, the convertible platforms are bi-fold platforms hingedly mounted to sidewalls of the container and moveable between deployed and stored positions. When in the stored positions, the convertible platforms extend minimally from the sidewall, eliminating or reducing obstacles to movement of livestock or humans. The convertible platforms are configured to rest on upper edges of corresponding compartment gates below, and the container may be free of any central post, thereby eliminating obstacles caused thereby to movement of livestock or humans. The sidewalls and floor may be formed of hollow-core extruded aluminum panels, and longitudinal channels formed therein may house pipes or electrical wires for conducting water or electricity to ventilation fans, lights, or misters, or for storing water.
Top application of an autonomous vehicle
A top application for on an autonomous delivery vehicle is disclosed. The top application may be attached to the vehicle permanently or removably. The top application has at least one vertical compartment section having a housing for one or more compartments defined by shelves, and a computer operated sliding door assembly. The sliding door assembly comprises a bottom door module and a top door module configured to slidingly move along door guide rails such that the door assembly is closed when a lower edge of the top door assembly and the upper edge of the bottom door assembly are adjacent to each other. The door assembly is configured to move to a position where the adjacent edges locate at a level of a predetermined shelf. The top door module moves upward, or the bottom door module moves downward to create an access opening at the level of the predetermined shelf.
MOBILE PARTY SYSTEM
A mobile party system based on a standard semi-trailer having an interior wall running side to side dividing its interior space into two equal halves, each such half being a separate party area that can be accessed by party goers through a releaseable, pivotable wall situated within a side panel of said semi-trailer, and each such party area being outfitted with heating, cooling, and ventilation equipment, an electrical power source, at least one restroom, and with kitchen and bar service facilities.
