DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0019] The following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions of the present disclosure with reference to accompanying drawings. Apparently, the described examples are merely some rather than all of the examples of the present disclosure. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative, and not intended to limit the present disclosure and application or use thereof in any way. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0020] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit exemplary embodiments according to the present disclosure. As used herein, unless otherwise specified herein, the singular forms are also intended to include the plural forms. In addition, it should also be understood that when the terms comprise and/or include are used in this specification, they specify the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and/or combinations thereof.

[0021] The relative arrangement of the components and steps, the numerical expressions and numerical values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present disclosure unless specifically stated otherwise. Meanwhile, it should be understood that for ease of description, each portion in the drawings is not necessarily drawn to the actual scale. The technologies, methods, and equipment known to those of ordinary skill in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be regarded as part of the authorized specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific value should be interpreted as merely exemplary, rather than restrictive. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary examples may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference signs and letters represent similar items in the drawings below. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0022] It should be understood that in the description of the present disclosure, orientation terms such as front, rear, upper, lower, left, right, transverse, longitudinal, vertical, horizontal, top and bottom indicate orientation or position relationships based on the drawings. Unless otherwise specified, these orientation terms are merely intended to facilitate or simplify the description of the present disclosure, rather than to indicate or imply that the mentioned device or elements must have a specific orientation and must be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as a limitation to the protection scope of the present disclosure. The orientation terms inner and outer refer to the inner and outer parts relative to the contour of the mentioned component.

[0023] For ease of description, spatially relative terms, such as above, on the upper side of, on the upper surface of and on, can be used to describe the spatial positional relationship between components or features shown in the figure. It should be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the components in use or operation in addition to those shown in the figure. For example, if a component in the figure is inverted, it is described as a component above other component or structure or on other component or structure. Therefore, the component will be positioned as below other component or structure or under other component or structure. Therefore, the exemplary term above may include both orientations above and below. The component may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated by 90 degrees or in other orientations), but the relative description of the space should be explained accordingly.

[0024] In addition, it should be noted that the use of words such as first and second to define parts and components is only for the convenience of distinguishing corresponding parts and components. Unless otherwise stated, the above words have no special meaning, so they should not be construed as a limitation on the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0025] The present disclosure provides an inflatable topper structure for a pickup truck bed. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the inflatable topper structure includes inflatable topper body 1 and a side bar structure for fixing the inflatable topper body 1 to a pickup truck bed. The side bar structure includes first side bar 2 and second side bar 3. The first side bar 2 is connected in a matched manner between a right side wall of the inflatable topper body 1 and the pickup truck bed, and the second side bar 3 is connected in a matched manner between a left side wall of the inflatable topper body 1 and the pickup truck bed. Specifically, the first side bar 2 and the second side bar 3 are symmetrically arranged and each fixedly locked to the pickup truck bed through locking member 5.

[0026] Further, the right side wall of the inflatable topper body 1 is connected in a matched manner with the first side bar 2, and the left side wall of the inflatable topper body 1 is connected in a matched manner with the second side bar 3. Specifically, a top of each of the first side bar 2 and the second side bar 3 is provided with groove 6 that is matched with a bottom of the side wall of the inflatable topper body 1. In this way, the inflatable topper body 1 is stably connected with the pickup truck bed, ensuring that the inflatable topper body 1 is balanced and does not move during high-speed driving. An outer side of each of the first side bar 2 and the second side bar 3 is provided with first clamping slot 8 that is matched with first clamping member 7 located outside the side wall of the inflatable topper body 1. The design ensures stability and facilitates disassembly, improving disassembly efficiency. Front bar 4 is provided between the first side bar 2 and the second side bar 3. The front bar 4 is provided with second clamping slot 9 and third clamping slot 10. The second clamping slot 9 and the third clamping slot 10 are circular clamping slots. The second clamping slot 9 is connected in a matched manner with second clamping member 11 located at a bottom of a front end of the inflatable topper body 1. The design further ensures a stable connection between the inflatable topper body 1 and the pickup truck bed, ensuring that the inflatable topper body 1 is balanced and does not move during high-speed driving. The third clamping slot 10 is connected with attachment 12 through third clamping member 13 that is matched with the third clamping slot. The attachment 12 can be a storage bag, a bed fixing component, or other additional component. The design further provides a storage function or other practical function.

[0027] Further, the first side bar 2 and the second side bar 3 each are made of an aluminum profile or a plastic extrusion profile. The first clamping member 7, the second clamping member 11, and the third clamping member 13 are made of a plastic material. A soft polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material is provided between the inflatable topper body 1 and the first clamping member 7 as well as the second clamping member 11 and between the third clamping member 13 and the attachment 12. The soft PVC material includes one end compounded on the inflatable topper body 1 or the attachment 12 and the other end connected with the plastic clamping member. The design ensures stability, easy disassembly and assembly, and consistent appearance.

[0028] In summary, the inflatable topper structure for a pickup truck bed provided by the present disclosure has the advantages of simple structure, easy operation, high stability, good appearance consistency, and high convenience of disassembly and assembly. The inflatable topper structure ensures the usage effect of the inflatable topper structure and improves the performance of the inflatable topper structure, and has great market value, making it worthy of widespread promotion and application.

[0029] The above merely describes specific examples of the present disclosure, but the protection scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. A person skilled in the art can easily conceive modifications or replacements according to the technical solutions and ideas of the present disclosure within the technical scope of the present disclosure, and these modifications or replacements shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
