Abstract: A mounting bracket for fold down furniture having a cushioning portion with upper and lower surfaces. The mounting bracket has an upwardly extending bracket portion with an upper end with a pivot location, and a lower end. It also has a pivot bracket with a first end and a second end, the first end being pivotally attached to the pivot location and the second end being fixed to an RV. The mounting bracket is connected at its lower end to a mounting rail that is positioned adjacent to the lower surface of the cushioning portion. The pivot location extends above an upper edge of the mounting rail. The distance between the pivot location and the upper surface of the cushioning portion is about equal to or less than a distance between the pivot location and the second end of the pivot bracket.

Abstract: A folding multimodal sofa bed for use with recreational vehicles. The folding multimodal sofa bed has a front facing backrest section, an intermediate section, and a rear facing backrest section. A front pair of rollover arms connect the front facing backrest section to the intermediate section, and rear pair of rollover arms connect the rear facing backrest section to the intermediate section. The rollover arms permit rollover of the front or rear facing backrest section from horizontal bed mode, wherein the front and rear facing backrest section are adjacent to the horizontal intermediate section, to either a front or rear facing sofa mode, wherein the front or rear facing section is pivoted to be above the top surface of the intermediate section in a generally vertical, slanted back orientation facing forwardly or rearwardly.

Abstract: A combination roofing panel and solar module includes a flexible membrane sheet, such as a single-ply membrane sheet, and a plurality of elongated solar or photovoltaic modules arranged side-by-side, end-to-end, or adjacent each other. The modules are adhered to the flexible membrane, and the edges of the modules having electrical connectors or electrodes are arranged to face each other or be aligned with each other. The electrical connectors may be connected by a solder connection to module electrodes through apertures in a bottom surface of the flexible membrane and are connected in series. Alternatively, the electrical connectors may be connected to leads that terminate in a conduit located adjacent to the electrical connectors. In this case, connections between modules may be made by connecting the leads in the conduit.

Abstract: Folding furniture for recreational vehicles (RVs). The furniture includes a seating portion, a back portion, two sets of foldover arms, and a pair of hinging brackets. The seating and back portions have a front edge, left and right side edges, and a rear edge, and have an upper surface and a lower surface. Each set of foldover arms includes two non-straight arm portions, each with a seating portion connecting end and a back portion connecting end. The seating portion connecting ends are pivotally connected to the side edges of the seating portion, and the back portion connecting ends are pivotally connected to the side edges of the back portion, to form a pivotally attached together seating and back portion.
