Abstract: Disclosed is a bed platform and system for use in an enclosed or partly enclosed space, such as, a cargo space of a vehicle, such as, a van, camper, or truck, among others. By one approach, the bed platform consists of interleaved portions of panel portions that permit relative lateral motion of the panels. In some configurations, the panel portions are adjustable such that the bed platform can be fit into differently sized vehicle cargo spaces. In addition, the systems described herein also may permit the bed platform to be adjusted or moved to different heights even though the wall configurations may be different along the height thereof.
Abstract: According to some illustrative embodiments, a modular mounting system for mounting accessories on vehicles includes: a) a plurality of support members, each of said plurality of support members having i) a lower upright planar member configured to extend downward along a peripheral wall around a vehicle bed, ii) a cross planar member extending laterally from the lower upright planar member and configured to extend across the peripheral wall around the vehicle bed, and iii) an upper upright planar member extending upwardly from the cross planar member and configured to extend upwardly above a height of the peripheral wall around the vehicle bed; and b) at least one of: i) a removable cross-bar removably supported by a plurality of said upper upright planar members; and ii) a removable side panel removably supported by a plurality of said upright planar members.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include a foldable hanger assembly and a clothing storage system that accommodates foldable hanger assemblies. Foldable hanger assembly embodiments comprise: (i) a first frame component with a hook; (ii) a second frame component; and (iii) a hinge assembly connecting the first frame component and the second frame component. In some examples, the hinge assembly comprises: (i) a first hinge insert attached to the first frame component; (ii) a second hinge insert attached to the second frame component; and (iii) a hinge clip that connects the first hinge insert to the second hinge insert, where the hinge clip allows the first frame component and the second frame component to pivot relative to each other from a horizontally open configuration into a horizontally closed configuration.
Abstract: A storage system includes a first container and a second container that are generally cuboid-shaped secured by their pack panels to straps enabling them to be positioned with back panels facing one another or both lying on a support surface. A portion of the straps remains detached and has a length to facilitate transitions between these positions. Fastening material may be secured to the back panels to enable them to be selectively attached to one another. Handles may be secured to the back panels, such as with the same stitching securing the straps. Drainage holes may be provided in one or more panels of the containers.
Abstract: A content controller system and method may include a user interface device in communication with a user interface device. The user interface device may provide operations including select advertising media content, select positive and negative content placement associations for the advertising media content, and automatically place the advertising media content in response to the positive content placement areas and away from at least one of the negative content placement areas.
Abstract: According to some illustrative embodiments, a novel and advantageous vehicle tailgate cover and/or pad system is provided. In the preferred embodiments, the vehicle tailgate cover and/or pad system is uniquely configured to provide a vehicle tailgate with a flat and padded surface. In some preferred embodiments, the vehicle tailgate cover system is fixed to a vehicle tailgate and has a base of rigid material, the base having a front surface that is substantially flat, and the base including at least one mounting through-hole for mounting the vehicle tailgate cover system to the vehicle tailgate with fasteners, and a padding layer attached to the base at the front surface of the base.

Abstract: The quick release interconnect includes a mount member that includes a cleat and a top hanger seat. An attachment member includes a lower jaw that is spring-biased into an open condition that can be secured closed by a cam-lock lever. An upper jaw hanger is also provided to permit the attachment member to be hung on the top hanger seat while the attachment member and object are oriented in place. The upper jaw hanger member is located over the top hanger seat and then the attachment member is rotated in place so the lower jaw is aligned with the cleat. The cam lock lever is rotated to clamp the lower jaw into communication with the cleat portion of the mount member to secure the attachment member securely to the mount member. To release the attachment member, the process is reversed.
