Resting surfaces for vehicle occupants

A resting surface accessory can be used within a vehicle space to provide a resting surface for one or more vehicle occupants. As an example, the resting surface accessory can be used in the bed of a pickup truck. The resting surface accessory includes a main body. The main body can have a first lateral side and an opposite second lateral side. The main body can include a central region with a plurality of sleeves. Each of the sleeves can define a cavity. The plurality of sleeves can be spaced from the first lateral side and the second lateral side. The resting surface accessory includes a first connector. The first connector can be operatively connected to the main body and can extend along the first lateral side. The resting surface accessory can include a second connector operatively connected to the main body and extending along the second lateral side.

A modular bumper attachment system configured to be attached or mounted to the bumper of a vehicle or base member. The modular bumper attachment system may include a first attachment member and a second attachment member, each attachment member an aperture defined by an outer wall that is configured to encompass the bumper of a vehicle. The system may also include one or more support members that are integrally attached to the attachment member. The support member may have a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is located where the support member meets the attachment member. The second end of each support member may extend at a non-zero angle in a generally outward direction from the base member and include one or more connectors configured to removably attach a hammock, tent, awning, storage container, cooler, etc. to the support member.

Truck bed cot

A truck bed cot has a generally rectangular platform, three legs upon one sidewall, two clamps upon an opposite sidewall, two endwalls, a plurality of slats between the sidewalls, two brackets for connection to a supporting surface, a heated sleeping pad, and a solar panel. The platform has a fore platform and an aft platform that receive the legs when the platform folds. The platform has an unfolded position with the fore platform coplanar with the aft platform. The platform, through its brackets and legs, adjusts its elevation relative to a supporting surface. The sleeping pad includes a control and battery in communication with the solar panel. The battery also provides ports for connection to various cables. A drawer provides storage and a flat surface for a user and a strap allows a user to carry the folded invention.

Automatic adaptive comfort for bunk mattress

The disclosure relates to a bunk, in particular for a vehicle cabin. The bunk comprises a base plate, an upper layer, a plurality of supporting members vertically compressible and spaced apart from one another substantially over the whole surface of the bunk, a plurality of pressure sensors which are part of the upper layer and in an adaptable area comprising at least one area of the bunk, a moving mechanism configured to move at least some of the supporting members in the adaptable area parallel to the base plate, and a control unit connected to the pressure sensors and the moving mechanism. The control unit is configured to cause the moving mechanism to move the supporting members in the adaptable area as a function of the current pressure data provided by the pressure sensors, to locally change the density of the supporting members to provide a locally variable bunk firmness.
