Abstract: An article storage receptacle is mountable in a truck bed. A storage compartment is supported by a pivotal frame coupled to a moving unit for moving the frame and the storage compartment between a first position overlaying the truck bed to a variably selected second position elevated from the first position opening the interior of the storage compartment to access. A tonneau cover is pivotally mounted on the frame. An article carrier is carried by the tonneau cover.

Abstract: A dimensionally adjustable vehicle component and/or a simulated entire vehicle includes body panels and vehicle components arranged in a simulated vehicle position and movably mounted on internal support structure for dimensional adjustment in fore/aft, up/down and lateral directions to form a variety of different spatial relationships between the vehicle components. A drive mechanism, typically including a motor and a rotatable drive shaft, is coupled to each dimensionally adjustable vehicle component support structure for adjusting the dimensional position of a selected component via control signals from a central controller. An encoder is coupled to each rotatable shaft output and generates actual travel position information for the controller to determine the actual position of the selected, dimensionally adjusted component.

Abstract: A collapsible includes a seat back pivotal relative to a seat bottom. Linkages pivot the seat bottom between lowered and elevated, seating positions. Shape changing members are mounted in at least one of the seat bottom and the seat back for changing the shape and/or the overall height of the seat bottom or seat back while the seat bottom or seat back is moved to the lowered position to exhibit the minimum stack height for the collapsed seat. The seat back and linkages are also coupled to provide pivotal movement of the seat bottom concurrently with pivotal movement of the seat back. Releasible latches are provided for latching the seat back in the elevated and/or lowered position.
