Tonneau cover having secured flexible hinge
A tonneau cover apparatus for removable attachment to a cargo box of a pickup truck including a support frame assembly and a cover assembly. The cover assembly includes a plurality of pivotally interconnected rigid panels that can be folded up and secured to the cargo box such that respective upper surfaces of at least two of the plurality of rigid panels reside in an upright folded orientation. The tonneau cover apparatus further includes a mechanism for securing the at least two of the plurality of rigid panels in the upright folded orientation. A method of removably securing the tonneau cover apparatus to the pickup truck is also described, as is an alternate embodiment of the tonneau cover apparatus, wherein the cover assembly includes first and second pivotally interconnected rigid panels and a pair of hinge support mechanisms that generally restrict the way the second rigid panel pivots.
MULTIFUNCTION TONNEAU COVER FOR A LOAD BED OF A TRUCK
A multifunction tonneau cover is provided for a load bed of a truck. That multifunction tonneau cover includes a body having a plurality of leg receivers and a plurality of caps closing the leg receivers in a first mode of operation as a load bed cover. In addition, the multifunction tonneau cover includes a plurality of legs that are received and held in the plurality of receivers and a second mode of operation as a table.
Dual action truck bed cover
A dual action truck cover provides two modes, actions or ways to access contents in a truck bed. Side rails can be mountable to a cargo box so as to be pivotable between a raised position to provide a rear opening in an open pivot arrangement, and a lowered or closed pivot arrangement. The side rails can be spaced apart to define an inter-rail area therebetween. A door can include a plurality of elements hingedly coupled together and extending between the side rails and movable between a closed door arrangement wherein the elements cover the inter-rail area, and an open door arrangement in which the elements are positioned to permit access through the inter-rail area. The door can move between the open and closed arrangements by rolling up the hingedly coupled elements together or folding the elements together.
Folding bi-panel cargo bed cover and pick-up truck rack
A cargo bed cover and rack for a pick-up truck cargo bed, including left and right folding panels having hinges configured to attach to the top rails of a pick-up truck cargo bed, a front crossbar member configured to attach to a fore portion of the truck cargo bed immediately behind the truck cab, a rear crossbar member configured to attach to a rear portion of the truck cargo bed proximate the tail gate, and latching mechanism disposed on the left and right folding panels configured to secure and selectively lock the panels in a cargo compartment storage configuration, and locking structure on at least one of the crossbar members that cooperate with the latching mechanisms to lock the folding panels in a generally upright position to achieve an expanded cargo compartment configuration.
COLLAPSIBLE FOLDING TRUCK TRUNK
A collapsible trunk for use with a vehicle having a wheel well. The trunk comprises a base wall and a side wall pivotally connected thereto. The side wall extends from the base wall and terminates at an upper edge. The side wall and base wall collectively define a storage cavity. The base wall and the side wall each have an expandable portion conformable to the wheel well in response to placement of the base wall and the side wall over the wheel well. The trunk is selectively transitional between a collapsed configuration and a deployed configuration. In the collapsed configuration, the base panels overlap each other, and in the deployed configuration, the plurality of base panels are co-planar to each other. The upper edge of the side wall moves away from the base wall as the trunk transitions from the collapsed configuration toward the deployed configuration.
HIGH-TECH COVER
A high-tech pickup truck bed cover is disclosed. The cover provides a protective covering for a pickup truck's cargo bed and preferably includes safety lighting and a backup camera.
Vehicle convertible top systems
A vehicle includes a vehicle body with a truck bed at least partially defining a cargo area, a tonneau cover at least partially enclosing the cargo area, a vehicle interior with passenger seating, and a modular, multi-component hard top assembly. The hard top assembly is configured to selectively and removably couple interchangeably between (i) the vehicle body to provide an enclosed configuration at least partially enclosing the vehicle interior and (ii) the tonneau cover. The multi-component hard top assembly is detachable from the vehicle body to provide an open air configuration for the vehicle interior.
Systems, Devices, and/or Methods for Managing vehicle bed extensions
Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a system, which can comprise a platform. The platform can comprise a pair of brackets via which said platform is coupleable to corresponding flanges of a vehicle. The platform, once coupled, can extend a bed of the vehicle such that, if one or more transported items are larger than the bed of the vehicle, the one or more transported items are transportable via the vehicle.
Pickup truck cargo box wall extender and bed
A pickup truck cargo box extension assembly includes a first and second side walls which pivots to the inside of the cargo box, two four-bar mechanism in the front, one at each side in front and another pivoting wall on the back of the cargo box. There are two actuators in the back outside of the cargo box connected to the side walls to provide for linear translation of the first and second walls between an extend height upward position and a retracted position.
Truck bed camper
A truck bed camper having an upper unit that does not extend over the cab of the pickup truck when the camper open or closed, a rigid aluminum lid that is attached to side panels of the upper unit and rotatably attached to a rear side panel of the upper unit and that forms a bed platform when open, a pneumatic gas spring with one end rotatably attached to a side panel and one end attached to the lid, a solar panel that is rotatably mounted to the upper surface of the lid, a foldable tent supported by a collapsible frame and positioned over the side panels and the lid when the lid is in an open position, a tent erector tool that is removably and rotatably inserted into a strut upper receiver mounted on the lid, and a lower unit that is configured to contain freshwater and blackwater tanks.
