  • Patent number: 9403424
    Abstract: Convertible racks and vehicles incorporating convertible racks are disclosed. The convertible rack is adapted to form a flat conformation (e.g., like a tonneau cover), a rack conformation (e.g., like a truck rack), and a covered conformation (e.g., like a truck bed tent). The convertible rack includes a left foldable assembly and a right foldable assembly. Each of the foldable assemblies include a rack section and a roof section. When in the flat conformation and rack conformations, the roof sections are folded onto the corresponding rack sections. In the flat conformation, the rack sections are generally positioned horizontal. In the rack conformation, the rack sections are generally positioned vertical. In the covered conformation, the roof sections are folded away from the rack sections and opposite side roof sections may be selectively coupled together.
