A support system is provided for a passenger vehicle having front seats, rear seats, a front anchoring feature 3 forwardly of a gap between the front and rear seats and a rear anchoring feature 2 rearwardly of the gap. The support system includes (i) a panel structure, (ii) front end connectors connecting the panel structure to the front anchoring features of the vehicle, (iii) rear end connectors connecting the panel structure to the rear anchoring features of the vehicle, and (iv) a supporting arrangement providing support to laterally opposing side portions of the panel structure to resist inward displacement of the laterally opposing side portions of the panel structure towards one another when supporting a load on an upper supporting surface of the panel structure. The supporting surface extends the substantially horizontal supporting platform at the rear of a vehicle for extending the resting or storage area of the vehicle.

A bracket is disclosed having a removable support member. The bracket includes a first and second opposing sides having a distance therebetween, where a first flap spans the distance at a top side, and a second flap spans the distance at a side, and a third flap spans the distance at a bottom side, wherein the first and second opposing sides include at least one aperture configure to receive a pin.

A truck cab bed restraint apparatus for keeping a sleeping co-driver safely secured in a bunk includes a barrier comprising a left half and a right half. A hinge is coupled to the barrier. The left half and the right half swingingly move between an extended position and an alternate folded position. The barrier in the extended position is configured to be selectively engageable between a mattress and a pair of cabinets of a cab of a semi-truck. A plurality of bar guides is coupled to the barrier. A bar is coupled to the plurality of bar guides. The bar is slidably engaged within a bar aperture of the plurality of bar guides. The bar secures the barrier in the extended position when engaged within at least one bar guide coupled to each of the left half and the right half.

A platform leveling apparatus with a platform attached to a frame, two and only two linear actuators, and one and only one heim joint. The upper ends of the linear actuators are rotatably attached to the front frame member, and the heim joint is connected to the rear frame member. The lower end of the heim joint is connected to an upper end of a heim joint support, and the lower end of the heim joint support is connected to a rear base support by front and/or rear heim joint braces. The rear base support is oriented parallel to the rear frame member when the heim joint is at a centered position, and the rear base support is positioned below a front edge of the rear frame member. The lower ends of the linear actuators are rotatably connected to a first fixed surface.

A support device for supporting at least one person located on it includes a stiff frame, which comprises a plurality of structural elements and a plurality of supporting elements. Securing means are provided for securing the stiff frame to roof bars of a motor vehicle. A plurality of rotatable arms is provided, each of which is hinged in a specific supporting element and is rotatable from a rest position into an operating position, and vice versa. Locking means are provided for locking the rotatable arms in an operating position. A cloth, on which said at least one person can be supported has connecting means by which it is connectable to the rotatable arms. The direction of longitudinal extension of each supporting element is not parallel to the longitudinal axis of the stiff frame and each rotatable arm is made of two portions inclined with respect to each other.
