ROLLING TARP ENCLOSURE SYSTEM
A movable tarp enclosure system includes a tarp cover, support rails, a plurality of support bows connected to and supporting the tarp cover, and movable carriages connected to lower ends of said bows and which move along the support rails. Each of the support bows includes first and second main sections formed of rigid material and having hollow ends, and a corner member formed of rigid material which connects the first and second main sections together such that the main sections extend substantially perpendicular to each other. The corner member has end portions fitted into the hollow ends of the main sections, and the end portions each have an outer circumference with a size and shape that substantially corresponds to those of an inner circumference of the hollow ends of the main sections such that the end portions are stably connected within the hollow end portions by frictional engagement.
TRACK-BASED ACCESSORY SYSTEM FOR USE WITH A GOLF CART
Aspects of the invention relate to a track-based accessory system. The track-based accessory system may be for use with a golf cart. The track-based accessory system may include two elongated members. Each elongated member may be configured to be attached to a golf cart. Each elongated member may include an enclosure track. Each elongated member may also include an accessory track. Each enclosure track may include an enclosure slot. Each enclosure slot may be configured to engage a golf cart enclosure. Each accessory track may include a keyway. Each keyway may be configured to engage at least one accessory.
TONNEAU COVER WITH WATERTIGHT AND FLAT-SURFACE HINGES
In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a tonneau cover for covering a pickup truck's cargo bed may include a first panel and a second panel. Each of the first panel and the second panel may include on its one edge a corresponding hinge channel and a corresponding bulged sidewall. The tonneau cover may further include a hinge assembly for connecting the first panel with the second panel. The hinge assembly may include two hinge rails and a hinge trunk. The two hinge rails may be inserted into the corresponding hinge channels of the first panel and the second panel. And when the first panel and the second panel are in a closed position, the corresponding bulged sidewalls of the first panel and the second panel may be pressed against the hinge trunk to create a seal.
WINDOW PROTECTOR FOR WINDOWS IN SOFT TOP VEHICLES
Soft top window assemblies may include a flexible window coupled with a fabric window structure, and a screen disposed over a surface of the flexible window. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.
SOFT TOP WINDOW SUPPORTS AND VEHICLES WITH SOFT TOP WINDOW SUPPORTS
Supports for rear windows and rear window panels of a soft top structure may include a first support arm pivotably coupled to a portion of a vehicle. A second support arm may be pivotably coupled to the first support arm, and may further be pivotably coupled to a rear window panel of the soft top structure. The first support arm and the second support arm can be connected to pivot relative to each other to form an angle less than 180 in an open position, and an angle substantially greater than 180 in a closed position. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.
Truck cover system
A truck cover system that includes a rail that couples to a truck. The rail includes a rail body with a cover slot that couples to a cover and a wall that extends away from the rail body with alignment indicia. A latch system couples to the rail. The latch system includes a latch housing that includes a tongue aperture. A tongue moves axially within the tongue aperture. A tongue fastener couples to the tongue to secure the tongue to the latch housing. A spring surrounds a portion of the tongue fastener and axially biases the tongue into engagement with the rail. A latch positioner couples to the rail and to the latch housing to enable rotation of the latch housing while the alignment indicia facilitates alignment of the latch positioner on the rail.
MOLDED SURFACE FASTENER
A vehicle cover assembly comprising; a flexible cover; one or more side rails; and a fastener assembly that is secured to a vehicle bed comprising; a cover fastener that is on one or more edge regions of the flexible cover; and a side rail fastener with one or more rows of fasteners comprising; a plurality of dual hooks on the base that releasably connect with the cover fastener of the flexible cover; and a plurality of spacers between the plurality of dual hooks.
Tonneau cover system with side rail mounted latches and a rear header mounted release actuator
A latch can be movably mounted to each of the side rails for movement between an unlocked position and a locked position. A release actuator can be movably mounted to the rear header to extend adjacent both latches for movement between a non-release position and a release position. When the rear header is seated in the rear header seat and the release actuator is in the non-release position, each latch engages the rear header in the locked position to lock the rear header and side rails together. When the rear header is seated in the rear header seat and the release actuator is moved toward the release position, the release actuator engages both latches and moves the latches to the unlocked position to unlock the rear header from both of the side rails.
CABLE TONNEAU COVER
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.
TRUCK COVER SYSTEM
A truck cover system that includes a rail that couples to a truck. The rail includes a rail body with a cover slot that couples to a cover and a wall that extends away from the rail body with alignment indicia. A latch system couples to the rail. The latch system includes a latch housing that includes a tongue aperture. A tongue moves axially within the tongue aperture. A tongue fastener couples to the tongue to secure the tongue to the latch housing. A spring surrounds a portion of the tongue fastener and axially biases the tongue into engagement with the rail. A latch positioner couples to the rail and to the latch housing to enable rotation of the latch housing while the alignment indicia facilitates alignment of the latch positioner on the rail.
