A storage assembly for a vehicle. The storage assembly includes a storage receptacle, a lid being configured for moving between a closing position in which it closes the storage receptacle and an open position, a sealing arrangement being positioned at the storage receptacle or at the lid such that in the closing position of the lid, the sealing arrangement seals the storage receptacle with respect to the lid, and a closing facilitation mechanism being configured for reducing a force for bringing the lid into the closing position from the open position. Moreover, a vehicle is presented which includes such a storage assembly. Additionally, a method for closing a lid of a storage assembly of a vehicle is presented.

A motor vehicle is disclosed having a flexible cover that is multi-functional in nature and can be configured as a cover for a rear luggage compartment of the motor vehicle as a small item carrier, as an extendible weather protector and as a roof protector for the motor vehicle.

A tonneau cover that includes a first panel, a second panel, a hinge between the first panel and the second panel, and a torsion element between the first panel and the second panel. The torsion element applies an urging force onto one or both of the first panel and the second panel during movement of the first panel and/or the second panel about the hinge.

Disclosed is a bed platform and system for use in an enclosed or partly enclosed space, such as, a cargo space of a vehicle, such as, a van, camper, or truck, among others. By one approach, the bed platform consists of interleaved portions of panel portions that permit relative lateral motion of the panels. In some configurations, the panel portions are adjustable such that the bed platform can be fit into differently sized vehicle cargo spaces. In addition, the systems described herein also may permit the bed platform to be adjusted or moved to different heights even though the wall configurations may be different along the height thereof.

A rotating multi-variant luggage tray structure is proposed. The structure includes a cover part formed at a position corresponding to an inner surface of a trim, a housing rotated about a rotating shaft to be withdrawn from the trim, and a rotating bellows connected to the housing and configured to be folded according to a rotational radius of the housing. The cover part may be rotated about the rotating shaft to be opened, and then be longitudinally extended.

A covering apparatus for a loading space of a motor vehicle, with a covering arrangement having a plurality of dimensionally stable slats coupled to one another in an extended covering state and positioned in a manner stacked one on top of another in a receiving space in a stowed inactive position. The slats are coupled permanently to one another among one another by at least one flexible connecting strap.

A cargo storage assembly for a vehicle includes an outer shell defining a primary cavity and an inner shell positioned within the primary cavity. A plurality of reinforcement members are positioned between the outer shell and the inner shell within the primary cavity. A cover assembly is coupled with the outer shell and includes a first portion hingedly coupled with a second portion. Each of the first and second portions is configured to be rotatable about an axis from a closed position to an open position.

A damper for a vehicle cargo panel includes an adaptor body that has an attachment surface and an engagement surface. A plurality of flexures outwardly extend from the engagement surface of the adaptor body and has a planar extension that is coupled to the engagement surface and a curved end. The plurality of flexures is operable between an extended condition and a compressed condition. A coupling member is disposed on the adaptor body and is configured to couple the adaptor body to said vehicle cargo panel.

A foldable barrier system; the foldable barrier system includes a three-sided foldable containment assembly defined by a first-section, a second-section, and a third-section hingedly connected in a respective series. The three-sided foldable containment assembly is configured to be mounted to a perimeter of a flatbed section of a vehicle and define an inner volume to contain items stored within the inner volume upon the flatbed section of the vehicle. The second-section is in alignment with a rear portion of the flatbed section, the first-section is in alignment with a right-side of the flatbed section, and the third-section is in alignment with a left-side of the flatbed section.
