The present invention concerns a housing (1) for the transportation of a cargo, such as truck trailers, housings mounted on the chassis of a truck, or shipping containers. The housing of the present invention comprises: (a) walls (1R) defining a closed inner space (1i), (b) an opening (2) provided in one of the walls, and further comprises a rigid door comprising one or more rigid panels (3) which are movable to seal or unseal said opening (2); (c) a flexible fast door comprising a motorized driving mechanism (10) suitable for moving a leading edge (4L) of a flexible shutter (4), wherein the flexible shutter (4) comprises two lateral edges engaged in parallel guiding rails (7) fixed to two parallel and opposite edges of the opening (2), wherein the rigid panel (3) and/or the parallel edge of the opening (2) is provided with a groove to accommodate the guiding rails (7).

The apparatus cooperates with a vehicle having a chassis, and engine compartment and a passenger compartment and a framework extending above the passenger compartment and a windshield assembly which is disposed in front of the passenger compartment which includes a single flexible sheet material formed into a generally rectangular top section. The top section has first and second opposed edges as well as the front edge and a back edge. The front edge includes a lip dimensioned and configured for engagement with a header bar that is part of the sport utility vehicle and disposed proximate to the top of the windshield assembly.

An accessory door panel for a utility vehicle provides a fabric door panel which can be quickly deployed and installed within a utility vehicle for emergency weather use where the utility vehicle has had the factory doors removed at the discretion of the driver. The fabric door panel is fitted to the contours of the door opening and may be stored from an overhead horizontal support member over the door or alternatively stored within a container mounted to the floor at the bottom of the door opening, the door being made of a flexible material that can be stretched across the door opening and anchored at several points along the door frame by independent anchors.

An enclosure for a sport utility vehicle having a chassis, and engine compartment and a passenger compartment and a framework extending above the passenger compartment and a windshield assembly which is disposed in front of the passenger compartment which includes a flexible sheet material formed into a generally rectangular top section. The top section has first and second opposed edges as well as the front edge and a back edge. The front edge includes a lip dimensioned and configured for engagement with a header bar that is part of the sport utility vehicle and disposed proximate to the top of the windshield assembly. The apparatus further includes first and second side portions, each side portion has a top and a bottom, said top of each side portion is fixed to one of the first and second opposed edges; and a back portion has a top thereof affixed to the back edge.

A merchandise container comprises a body having a longitudinal axis, which comprises a floor, a roof and a side wall, each comprising an exterior face and an interior face, and a plurality of bays in the side walls. A plurality of bay doors adapted to controllably closing the bays. A door opening system comprising a plurality of door axles each driving individually one of the plurality of bay doors between a closed position and an open position; an intermediate axle in driving arrangement with the plurality of door axles; and a motor connected in driving arrangement with the intermediate axle comprising a driving axle controls the position of the bay doors by driving the intermediate axle which in turn drives the plurality of door axles to move the plurality of bay doors between the closed position to the open position.

A door opening system for a merchandise container comprising a plurality of bay doors, the door opening system comprising a wheel in frictional contact with a bay door of the plurality of bay doors; and a motor connected in driving arrangement with the wheel. The motor drives the wheel to rotate and thereby to control a movement of the bay door of the plurality of bay doors between a closed position and an open position.

A retractable trailer enclosure system includes a flexible cover, rotatable winding spindle moveable by way of a spindle guide assembly. The spindle guide assembly includes a drive assembly actuable to rotate the spindle, a shuttle assembly mounting a spindle end and a guide track assembly which guides the shuttle assembly in reciprocal movement along both a vertical cover deployment/retraction path, and laterally along a spindle storage path.

A pop-up camper has a roof that is movable between a stored position where it is close to a perimeter wall and use position where it is raised away from the perimeter wall. The perimeter wall has a gap that receives a door that is attached to the pop-up camper at the floor level. The door pivots between a stored position where panel spans and seals a gap in the sidewall and use position where the panel folds down and a terminal edge is close to the ground. The door includes stringers with steps that extend between. Adjustable feet are received at the end of the stringers adjacent the terminal edge and telescopically slide between a stored position where the feet are locked from rotation and do not extend beyond the terminal edge and an extended position where the feet can pivot.
