A tonneau for use with a pick-up truck bed includes a frame for attachment over the truck bed and a cover configured on top of the frame to protect the contents of the bed. The tonneau further includes a slidable cargo basket configured at the rear of the pick-up truck bed for enabling easy cargo access. The cargo management basket includes a plurality of slidable panels that are foldable allowing users to easily access the truck bed.

A system may include a container and a cover apparatus for selectively covering a top opening of the container. The cover apparatus may include a roll tube movably mounted on the container and extending between the container ends and parallel to the container sides, a cover tarp having at least a portion rolled about the roll tube, and at least one bow member configured to support the cover tarp over the top opening in a closed condition of the cover assembly. The bow member may be elongated and extend from one said side of the container to the other said side of the container across the top opening of the container. The bow members may be positioned in a substantially vertically-oriented bow plane, and the bow plane may be oriented at an oblique angle to a sidewall plane of the container.

An open-air car canopy and cover assembly and method of operation provides a rearwardly extending canopy that shields an uncovered rear deck of an open-air car from a deployed position, and when in an undeployed position, the panels retract, becoming limp and folding upon themselves. An upper pocket covers the panel folds in the undeployed position by encapsulating the panels and the rotatable supporting bracket. Lateral and rear flaps having fasteners and rear flap fasteners retain the panels out of the rear sight line and side openings of the open-air car. A roof mount detachably attaches the canopy to the roof of the open-air car with a curved flange that hooks over a roof support structure, and metallic tensioned hooks that hook under the roof support structure. A tensioned hinge member is operable with rotatable supporting bracket to retain canopy in a fixed position between deployed and undeployed positions.

A tonneau for use with a pick-up truck bed includes a frame for attachment over the truck bed and a cover configured on top of the frame to protect the contents of the bed. The tonneau further includes a slidable cargo basket configured at the rear of the pick-up truck bed for enabling easy cargo access. The cargo management basket includes a plurality of slidable panels that are foldable allowing users to easily access the truck bed.

A cover for a truck bed that can be horizontally traversed between expanded and collapsed positions is shown. Since the cover is horizontally traversed, the person manipulating the cover need not lift the cover vertically in order to reconfigure the cover between the expanded and collapsed positions. Women and elderly people who are generally not as strong as men can manipulate the cover.

The invention discloses a built-in roll cover, includes a layer of leather and a support frame, the layer of leather is connected with the support frame, the support frame includes a large front bar assembly, a side rail assembly and a rear bar assembly, the large front bar assembly is connected to the rear bar assembly through a side rail assembly, the side rail assembly is connected to the side rail of the car through a clamp assembly, the large front bar assembly includes a large front bar and a large front bar plug strip, the large front bar is provided with a large front bar groove, the large front bar plug strip is connected with the layer of leather, the large front bar plug strip is stuck in the large front bar groove, the rear bar assembly is connected to the side rail assembly through the rear bar fixing assembly, the rear bar fixing assembly includes a rear bar joint and a rear bar fixing base, the rear bar fixing base is connected with the side rail assembly, the rear bar joint is engaged with the rear bar assembly. By providing a large front bar plug strip, the present invention allows the layer of leather cling to the support frame, which makes the overall waterproof effect of the roll cover better.

A tonneau cover and a method of attachment are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a self-energizing clamp can be used to retain a tonneau cover onto a side wall of a truck bed, or other vehicle bed. In some embodiments, the clamp can be rotated between a usage position and a storage position in order to prevent the clamp from incidental movement or harm while accessing the truck bed.

A tonneau cover assembly with a top cover connected to a cable tensioning system that eliminates the need for side rails to both locate and tension the top cover. The cable tension system seals out environmental elements and holds the tonneau cover and fabric management bows of the assembly in place. The assembly includes a front attachment assembly and rear attachment assembly connected to cables, where the front attachment provides a forward mounting location and seals a front bow to the vehicle. The rear attachment assembly holds the top cover in a closed tensioned state until the cover is opened by an operator. The tonneau cover assembly reduces weight and complexity, while eliminating the need for side rails.

A vehicle structure with an upper framework that consists of a driver side frame element, a passenger side frame element and possible lateral crossbars. An open area is interposed between the driver side frame element and the passenger side frame element. The vehicle has a roof system to selectively cover and expose the open area. When the roof system is closed, a gap space exists between the open area and the interior of the roof system. Removable mounts are bolted to the upper framework. At least two cargo bars are provided that attach to the mounts. The cargo bars extend across the open area and are supported by the mounts in the gap space under the roof system. In this manner, the roof system can be selectively opened and closed over the cargo bars.

Elements of drop-stitch material are formed into different structures. In a platform, two legs support a horizontal platform. All are of drop-stitch material, which can be inflated to sufficient pressure for it to be rigid. Valves between the legs and platform allow air to flow between the legs and the platform. Another design is a luggage or cargo carrier for vehicles with a base, top and front walls formed of interconnected drop-stitch material. When the drop-stitch material is inflated, the material forms a cavity which receives luggage or other items. Sidewalls create an enclosed space. elements of the drop-stitch material can form other structures such as a truck shell with openings through the material to acts as windows or a door.
