A tonneau system for use with a pickup truck. The tonneau system includes a tonneau cover, a frame, and a latch. The tonneau cover has a plurality of tonneau sections, including at least a first tonneau section and a second tonneau section. A first hinge system couples the first tonneau section to the second tonneau section, enabling stacking and expanding of the first tonneau section relative to the second tonneau section. The frame has a first side rail securable to a first side of a cargo box of a pickup truck and a second side rail securable to a second side of the cargo box. The latch releaseably secures the tonneau cover to the first and second side rails. When the latch is released, the stacked tonneau sections are permitted to depend into the cargo box.

A vehicular cargo assembly includes first and second panels disposed in a vehicle cabin. A plurality of grooves is provided for slidably coupling the first panel to the second panel. The first panel is movable between a first position, wherein the first panel is superjacent to the second panel, and a second position, wherein the first panel is adjacent to the second panel.

A vehicular cargo assembly includes a first panel slidably mounted on a floor of a vehicle cabin and selectively and alternatively positionable in a first position or a second position. A storage space is disposed below the floor. The first panel is configured to cover the storage space in the first position.

A retractable cover system includes laterally spaced apart guide rails that each provide a track. A drive assembly includes a motor operatively connected to a gear. A cover has multiple slats configured to interlock with one another in a deployed configuration. The slats cooperate with the gear and are slidable in the tracks between first and second positions within the opening in response to actuation of the drive system. The slats are stacked onto one another in a stowed configuration. A method of servicing a retractable cover system includes the step of removing an access cover from a magazine to expose a cavity housing stacked rigid slats. A method of retracting a tonneau cover includes the steps of actuating a handle and decoupling the tonneau cover from a drive mechanism.

A retractable cover system includes laterally spaced apart guide rails that define an opening and each provide a track. The system further includes a cover that has multiple slats that are configured to interlock with one another in a deployed configuration. The slats cooperate with the drive assembly and are slidable in the tracks between first and second positions within the opening in response to actuation of the drive assembly. The slats are stacked onto one another in a stowed configuration. The system further includes a follower that supports the slats. The system further includes a spring-biased pulley system that is configured to cooperate with the follower and biases the slats toward the tracks.

A vehicle storage device includes a plurality of planar panels and a plurality of hinges pivotally connecting each of the plurality of planar panels to an adjacent one of each of the plurality of planar panels.

A motor vehicle is provided with a luggage compartment opening arranged at the rear of a body of the motor vehicle, and a tailgate arranged pivotably on the body and in a closed position closes the luggage compartment opening and in an open position at least partially opens the luggage compartment opening. In order to provide a motor vehicle with a luggage compartment of variable size, the motor vehicle comprises a cover attached to a vehicle portion of the motor vehicle adjacent to the luggage compartment opening and/or defining the luggage compartment opening, and which is made of a flexible material and is configured and arranged such that, in the open position of the tailgate or by pivoting of the tailgate into the open position, it can be transferred from a compact rest state into an extended function state.

A luggage compartment screen apparatus of a vehicle may include a moving housing movable along guide rails; a push mechanism to be drawn out or drawn in from the moving housing toward the luggage compartment and be rotatable and formed to have a step in a rotation direction thereof; and a locking mechanism rotatably disposed on the moving housing to be configured to be selectively locked to the guide rail, formed to have a step in a drawn-out and drawn-in direction of the push mechanism, and having a stepped portion in contact with a stepped portion of the push mechanism to be rotated to be locked to the guide rail at the time of a drawn-in operation or a rotation operation of the push mechanism and be rotated to be separated from the guide rail at the time of a drawn-out operation of the push mechanism.

A tonneau system for use with a pickup truck. The tonneau system includes a frame and a tonneau cover having a plurality of tonneau sections moveable between a folded position and an unfolded position. The tonneau cover includes solar energy-receiving material secured to a top exposed surface of at least two of the tonneau sections. The solar energy-receiving material moves with their corresponding tonneau sections between the unfolded and folded positions. A battery, transformer, and/or electrical cabling system may be included within the circuit for power storage and conversion.

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. Also included is a method for subdividing vehicle cabs and/or storage spaces into a number of sub-portions and a vehicle.
