Abstract: A disassemblable orthogonal multilevel storage assembly is configurable into variable sized storage chambers for installation in vehicle passenger compartments and pickup truck beds. The assembly uses a plurality of telescoping panels each having a plurality of apertures spaced apart at equal intervals along designated lines in the panels such that the panels can be interconnected when positioned in horizontal and vertical orientations adjacent one another. Tabs are formed along selected edges of the panels and include a plurality of apertures spaced apart at equal intervals to facilitate interconnection of panels. The storage assembly can be configured to be installed in a passenger compartment when seats are removed from the passenger compartment.

Abstract: A cover assembly for use on the bed of a pickup truck includes a rigid cover and a plurality of folding arms each attached to the pickup truck bed for raising and lowering the cover. A desk is attached to the underside of the cover. The desk is movable between a first folding storage position and a second unfolded extended position.

Abstract: A cover assembly for the bed of a pickup truck includes a rigid cover which is mounted on the bed by a plurality of spring-loaded arms which allow the cover to be vertically moved between a stored, closed position and an open, extended position. The folding arms include adjustment means which permits the orientation of the arms in the closed position to be adjusted to a selected orientation. Counteracting springs are utilized to facilitate deployment of the cover assembly to the open, extended position.

Abstract: A vertically extensible cover assembly for the bed of a pick-up truck having a 5th wheel trailer hitch mounted in the bed thereof for allowing a trailer to be coupled, uncoupled and towed by the truck with the cover assembly mounted on the truck. The cover assembly includes a rigid cover which is mountable on the truck's bed by means of folding arms which allows the cover to be vertically extended for access to the truck's bed. A central opening is formed in the rigid cover through which the trailer hitch tongue during trailer towing operations and which is closed by a hatch during non-towing use of the truck. An open channel is provided in the rigid cover through which the trailer hitch tongue is movable during coupling and uncoupling of a trailer, with the open channel being closed by a lid structure when coupling and uncoupling operations are not being accomplished.

Abstract: A cover assembly for the bed of a pickup truck including a rigid cover which is mounted to the bed by four spring-loaded arms which allow the cover to be moved vertically relative to the bed. The spring-loaded folding arms have arcuate bearing heads which minimize spring distortion when the arms are in their folded positions and have an improved locking arrangement for selectively securing the arms in their extended positions. The folding arms also have rotatable mounting brackets which provide stabilized mounting thereof on the bed of pickup trucks having variously sized upper ledges.

The spring-loaded folding arms have arcuate bearing heads which minimize spring distortion when the arms are in their folded positions and have an improved locking arrangement for selectively securing the arms in their extended positions. The folding arms also have reversible mounting brackets which provide stabilized mounting thereof on the bed of pickup trucks having variously sized upper ledges.

Abstract: Receptacle units (16, 18, 18', 20, and 20') for use independently or in any combination in conjunction with a pickup truck (10) having a bed (12) in which the units can be arranged, and a movable cover (14) arranged over the bed. Some of the receptacle units can be provided with drawers slidable rearwardly of the associated truck bed so as to permit easy access to articles stored in the receptacle units, while permitting the units to be secured by action of the associated cover and a cooperating tailgate of the associated truck.
