Abstract: A tonneau system for use with a pickup truck. The tonneau system includes a frame and a tonneau cover having a plurality of tonneau sections moveable between a folded position and an unfolded position. The tonneau cover includes solar energy-receiving material secured to a top exposed surface of at least two of the tonneau sections. The solar energy-receiving material moves with their corresponding tonneau sections between the unfolded and folded positions. A battery, transformer, and/or electrical cabling system may be included within the circuit for power storage and conversion.

Abstract: A heat pump system is provided. The heat pump system includes a first compressor and a second compressor and a first heat exchanger, a second heat exchanger, and a third heat exchanger. The system further includes a first expansion device, a second expansion device, and a third expansion device. When the system operates in a cascade heating mode, the third heat exchanger is configured to: receive a first portion of refrigerant from the first compressor and a second portion of refrigerant from the second compressor, and provide a first consistent flow of refrigerant to the first compressor and a second consistent flow of refrigerant to the second compressor so as to improve an efficiency of the system.

Abstract: A tonneau system for use with a pickup truck. The tonneau system includes a frame and a tonneau cover having a plurality of tonneau sections moveable between an extended position covering a cargo box of the pickup truck and a folded position forming a stack of the tonneau sections. The stack being coupled to the frame and pivotally moveable between a first position depending into the cargo box and a second position extending upward generally from the cargo box.

Abstract: A tonneau system for use with a bed of a pickup truck. The tonneau system includes a tonneau cover and latch assemblies to retain the tonneau cover to the bed of the truck. The cover is moveable between an unfolded positon where the cover encloses the bed and a folded position where the bed is uncovered. The latch assemblies can include latch bases that define discreet mounting positons for a latch handle assembly that employ retention members to retain the latch handle assembly in a particular mounting positon. Another latch assembly includes a latch base having an endless belt to positon the latch handle assembly. A rail attachment is also provided to mount to the bed and provide an anchor point for keep in to tonneau cover engage over the bed.

Abstract: A tonneau system for use with a cargo box of a pickup truck. The tonneau system includes a pair of side rails for mounting to the sidewalls of the cargo box and a tonneau cover having at least two tonneau sections and being moveable relative to one another between an unfolded state and a folded state. In the unfolded state the tonneau sections substantially covering the cargo box and in the folded state the tonneau sections being arranged in a stack. The stack of tonneau sections is pivotally connected to the side rails by a pivot connection that is moveable between secure and release positions. In the secure position, the stack being retainingly engaged with the side rails and, in the release position, the stack being removably engaged with the side rails whereby the stack is removable from the cargo box while the side rails remain mounted therewith.

Abstract: A tonneau system for use with a pickup truck. The tonneau system includes a tonneau cover, a frame, and a latch. The tonneau cover has a plurality of tonneau sections, including at least a first tonneau section and a second tonneau section. A first hinge system couples the first tonneau section to the second tonneau section, enabling stacking and expanding of the first tonneau section relative to the second tonneau section. The frame has a first side rail securable to a first side of a cargo box of a pickup truck and a second side rail securable to a second side of the cargo box. The latch releaseably secures the tonneau cover to the first and second side rails. When the latch is released, the stacked tonneau sections are permitted to depend into the cargo box.

Abstract: A tonneau system for use with a pickup truck is provided. The tonneau system includes a tonneau cover, a first bracket, and a second bracket. The tonneau cover includes a front cross-member, a primary tonneau section hingedly coupled to the front cross-member, and at least one secondary tonneau section hingedly coupled in series to the first tonneau section. The first bracket extends from the front cross-member proximal to a first end thereof for securing the first end of the front cross-member to a first side wall of a cargo box of a pickup truck when the front cross-member is positioned atop a bulkhead of the cargo box. The second bracket extends from the front cross-member proximal to a second end thereof opposite the first end for securing the second end of the front cross-member to a second side wall of the cargo box of the pickup truck when the front cross-member is positioned atop the bulkhead of the cargo box.

Abstract: A storage bag for use with a tonneau cover is provided. The storage bag has a main body having at least one pocket, and at least one first fastener secured to the main body for releaseably fastening the main body to a bottom surface of a tonneau cover.
