Abstract: A modular truck cap may be formed from multiple sections or panels, such as a front panel, a rear panel, a left panel, a right panel, and one or more top panels. The panels may be sized for installation and removal by a single individual. Panels may be connected to a truck bed using tool-less fasteners, such as quick release latches. Panels may interlock with compressed embedded seals to minimize intrusion of water, air or dirt. Side panels may be formed to flare laterally outward for increased enclosed cap width and volume.

Abstract: A method for assembling a step stool includes the step of providing a frame including a front leg and a rear leg coupled to the front leg for pivotable movement between an opened use position and a collapsed storage position, a step coupled to the front leg for pivotable movement between a horizontal use position and a storage position, and a link including a body, a pivot coupled to the body and the step, and a connector coupled to the body. The method further includes the step of snapping the connector into engagement with the rear leg for movement of the rear leg from its opened use position to its closed storage position in response to movement of the step from its horizontal use position to its storage position.
