An accessory mounting track includes a forward edge, a rearward edge, an upper surface, a lower surface, a first end region with a first end, a second end region with a second end, and an intermediate region positioned between the first and second end regions. A cross-section of the intermediate region includes an angular portion positioned on either side of a planar portion. The planar portion and the angular portions are delineated by an inflection point at a junction between the planar portion and each of the angled portions. A distance between the upper surface and the lower surface at the angular portions decreases as a distance from a centerline of the intermediate region increases. A distance between the forward edge and the rearward edge at the first and second end regions increases as a distance from the intermediate region increases.

The present invention provides an easy and quick assembled and removable rack system which can have the length and width of the system adjusted. The rack system can be assembled in numerous configurations to carry various load sizes and objects. The inventive rack system includes an expandable front brace, an expandable left and right-side frame, an expandable rear brace, expandable left and right support rails, where the expandable support rails have an inner opening for receiving an inner support rail for added support when the left and right support rails are extended. The inner support rails also have an inner opening for receiving a left and right extension arm which fits inside the inner rail opening and the extension arms can be extended from the rear of the frame for added length and support when carrying longer items of for pulling out a portion of the deck panels to create a work surface area off the back of the truck or rack system. The support rails are configured to support removeable panels for providing a deck. The deck is formed from a plurality of expandable deck panels which can have the widths or length adjusted to accommodate the vehicle size. The deck panels are received by the top edge on the left and right support rails.

A vehicle includes an instrument panel, a support structure coupled to the instrument panel, and a retainer. The support structure defines a receiver that extends from a lower end to an upper end that is vehicle-upward of the lower end. The portion of the support structure that defines the receiver includes at least one rib that protrudes into the receiver. The retainer includes a barrel portion having a threaded interior surface that defines a hollow and an exterior surface opposite the interior surface and having at least one wing. The retainer also includes a head portion coupled to the barrel portion. The retainer is operably coupled to the support structure, such that the barrel portion is received within the receiver and the at least one wing of the exterior surface is engaged with the at least one rib to maintain the retainer within the receiver.

A seatback phone mount apparatus for securing a phone to a seatback includes a main base. A pair of expandable supports is coupled to a base left side and a base right side of the main base. Each expandable support slidably moves between a compressed position and an extended position. A pair of seat clips is coupled to the pair of expandable supports. Each seat clip is coupled to a distal end of each expandable support. The pair of seat clips selectively engages a pair of seat sides of a seatback. A neck is coupled to a base front side of the main base. A phone plate is coupled to the neck. A magnet is coupled within the phone plate to secure a cellphone to the phone plate.

The subject matter discloses an object detection apparatus, comprising an external housing connectable to a surface, said external housing comprising sensors configured to scan a predetermined scanning space to detect an object located within said scanning space; a sensor extraction mechanism, which exposes the sensors to an environment surrounding the external housing to enable scanning of said environment by the sensors; a detection processor configured to receive a command to activate the sensors to scan the predetermined scanning space; activate the sensor extraction mechanism to expose the sensors for performing the scan; activate the sensors to scan the predetermined scanning space; receive scan data from the sensors; analyze the scan data to determine a hazardous object has been detected; generate a notification that a hazardous object was detected within the scanned area.

An electronic mirror system includes, a camera which can be attached to a side of an automobile and which is able to image a moving image diagonally behind the automobile; and a monitor apparatus which can be attached in the passenger compartment of the automobile and which can display the moving image imaged by the camera. The monitor apparatus includes a movable portion which can move the display which displays the moving image with relation to a wall to where the monitor apparatus is attached in the passenger compartment.

A radar support device supports a radar that detects an object in front of a vehicle. The radar support device includes a bracket that is mounted to the vehicle and a plurality of guide rods that extend rearward from the radar while fixed to the radar and coupled to the bracket in forward and rearward directions. A plurality of fastening members are fastened to the plurality of guide rods from a rear surface of the bracket, and one or more springs are installed between the radar and the bracket to move the radar forward.

A device for receiving a display/operating panel and positioning the display/operating panel in a vehicle structure. The device may include at least one guide, that can bear on a corresponding receiver in the vehicle structure, characterized in that the guide includes both guide elements as well as deformation elements.

An apparatus for adjusting a screen arrangement for a vehicle roof may have a main slider and an adjusting slider which can each be coupled to the screen arrangement and are configured for pivoting the screen arrangement out and in and for adjusting a prescribed alignment angle (A) of the screen arrangement. The apparatus may also have a drive coupling element which couples a drive cable of the main slider and a drive cable of the adjusting slider to one another, such that the main slider and the adjusting slider can be displaced, with respect to a common reference point, at least in certain portions, at different movement speeds, and such that with respect to a longitudinal axis (L) of the apparatus a spacing between the main slider and the adjusting slider and therefore an alignment angle (A) of the screen arrangement can be adjusted in a prescribed manner.

A vehicle having a roof construction, comprises a panel fitted in an opening in the fixed roof of the vehicle, and a headliner on the interior side of the fixed roof for hiding the fixed roof and stationary frame from view. At least one display device is capable of showing images from its display screen to occupants in the vehicle. A drive system is provided for moving the display screen at least into a storage position, and into an operational position in which the display screen is visible for occupants in the vehicle. The display screen is flexible and is moved, in its storage position, at least substantially into a cavity above the headliner and is thus substantially hidden from view.
