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. A method for subdividing vehicle cabs and/or storage spaces into a number of sub-portions, and a vehicle are also disclosed.

PROTECTION DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE INTERIOR COMPARTMENT
20180050643 · 2018-02-22 ·

Protection device for a vehicle interior compartment including a flexible planar structure displaceable between rest and protective positions. On a face end region of the planar structure, a dimensionally stable guiding profile is provided, which is guided in vehicle-fixed guiding tracks. Each side of the guiding profile is associated with a coupling member in operative connection with an entrainer guided in the respective guiding track by a retaining device acting in a force-limited manner. The entrainers are shiftable in mutual synchronization within the guiding tracks by a drive system. The coupling members are in operative connection to the entrainers eccentrically offset in relation to a central longitudinal axis of the guiding profile, and the coupling members are removable from the entrainers in response to external strains of the guiding profile in directional components which are orthogonal in relation to a plane of deployment of the planar structure.

A tonneau cover assembly that selectively covers a truck bed of a truck is provided. The tonneau cover assembly includes a cover and a longitudinally extending rail located adjacent a sidewall of the truck bed. The longitudinally extending rail includes an attachment member. The attachment member extends longitudinally along with the rail and at least a portion of the attachment member is located over a portion of the bed. The cover includes a stiffener located adjacent the attachment member of the longitudinally extending rail.

MULTI-PURPOSE SUPPORT DEVICE
20240409034 · 2024-12-12 ·

A support device includes a movable body provided movably between an advanced position for forming a projection on an object, and a retracted position for forming a recess on the object. The multi-purpose support device includes a casing body movably supporting the movable body, a biasing body exerting a biasing force to the movable body, and a control mechanism for the movable body. The control mechanism performs a cycle of controlling the movable body including: temporal holding of the movable body at a reference position; first pushing of the movable body at the reference position toward a retracted position against the biasing force; causing the biasing force to move the movable body after the first pushing, to an advanced position; second pushing of the movable body at the advanced position against the biasing force; and causing the biasing force to move the movable body to the reference position.

Pull holder of a covering curtain

A pull holder of a covering curtain has an annular handle, an enclosed hole surrounded by the handle, a pivot cover, and a torsion spring. The pivot cover is pivotally connected to the handle via a pivot rod portion. The pivot rod portion has a pivot rod and a position restricting flange radially formed on the pivot rod and disposed between a first pivot portion and a supporting portion of the handle and next to the supporting portion. The torsion spring is mounted around the pivot rod and disposed between the supporting portion and a connecting portion of the handle. Thus, the pivot rod of the pivot rod portion of the pivot cover does not axially slide relative to the handle. Accordingly, the pull holder does not disassemble and can be operated stably.
