Abstract: A tonneau cover system, for covering a pickup truck cargo bed, includes a center panel, two side panels, and accessory hardware for supporting the center panel on the truck bed such that the center panel may be vertically moved thereon, between open and closed positions. In an open position, the center panel is at least partially disposed above the side panels. The cover side panels preferably include seals on inner longitudinal sides thereof, for sealingly engaging the center panel in the closed position thereof. The center panel may be made removable to allow for installation of selected accessory structures, such as camping tents, spare fuel tanks, fifth-wheel trailer connection hardware, or other accessories. The system may, optionally, include a front panel for placement across the entire width of the truck bed forward of both the side and center panels. Where used, the front panel may be made up of a frame and a removable cover plate which fits in the frame.

Abstract: A tonneau cover for covering a truck box of a pickup type vehicle, comprises a rigid center panel, two rigid side panels, each adapted to be fixed along a top edge of one longitudinal side wall of a truck box, the center panel engaging the side panels in a closed position of the center panel; and mechanisms for supporting the center panel on the truck box such that the center panel may be vertically moved relative to the truck box, between the closed position and an open position in which the center panel is entirely disposed above the side panels.

Abstract: A marine vehicle comprising a hull, a deck supported by the hull, and a seat apparatus mounted on the deck and including a generally vertical seat back member, a seat bottom member moveable relative to the seat back member between a horizontal position wherein the seat bottom member extends generally horizontally, and a vertical position wherein the seat bottom member extends generally vertically and downwardly from the seat back member, and a mechanism for moving the seat back member generally vertically between a lower position and an upper position.

Abstract: A marine vehicle comprising a first generally vertical wall, a second generally vertical wall extending generally perpendicular to the first wall, a first seat bottom member, a second seat bottom member, a hinge mechanism supporting the first seat bottom member for movement between a first position wherein the first seat bottom member extends generally horizontally from the first wall and a second position wherein the first seat bottom member extends generally vertically against the first wall, and a hinge mechanism supporting the second seat bottom member for movement between an operating position wherein the second seat bottom member extends generally horizontally from the second wall and is generally coplanar with the first seat bottom member when the first seat bottom member is in the first position, and a storage position wherein the second seat bottom member extends generally vertically against the second wall.

Abstract: A marine vehicle comprising a hull, a floor supported by the hull, and a convertible seat/sleeper supported by the floor and including a seat bottom member having a forward end, and a mechanism supporting the seat bottom member for movement between a horizontal position wherein the seat bottom member extends substantially horizontally, and a canted position wherein the seat bottom member is inclined upwardly toward the forward end.

Abstract: A marine vehicle comprising a hull, a floor supported by the hull, and a convertible sofa-sleeper supported by the floor and including a seat bottom member having a forward end and being supported for movement between a horizontal position wherein the seat bottom member extends substantially horizontally, and a canted position wherein the seat bottom member is inclined upwardly toward the forward end.

Abstract: A marine vehicle comprising a hull, and a convertible dinette/sleeper apparatus including a base supported by the hull and including a generally horizontal upper surface having therein a recess, a table portion having a generally planar upper surface, and means supporting the table portion for movement between a first position wherein the table portion is located above the recess and the upper surface of the table portion extends generally horizontally and is spaced above the upper surface of the base, and a second position wherein the table portion is located in the recess and the upper surface of the table portion is substantially coplanar with the upper surface of the base.

Abstract: A marine vehicle comprising a hull, a deck supported by the hull, and a seat including an L-shaped bracket including a generally horizontal portion having an upper surface, and a generally vertical portion having a front surface, a seat bottom member including a bottom surface connected to the upper surface of the horizontal portion, a seat back member including a back surface connected to the front surface of the vertical portion, and a mechanism for mounting the bracket on the deck.

Abstract: A marine installation comprising a watercraft having a generally horizontal surface, and a ladder assembly comprising a ladder frame including spaced, parallel side bars, and spaced, parallel rungs extending between the side bars, and a mechanism for mounting the ladder frame on the horizontal surface such that the ladder frame is movable between a storage position wherein the ladder frame is located above the surface and an operating position wherein the ladder frame extends below the surface.

Abstract: The present invention provides a motor vehicle seat. The inventive seat has a back and/or femur cushion which includes a flexible spider with projecting legs captured between inner and outer pan shaped shells. The legs are folded over to provide a cushion and are also utilized to provide a shoulder or lap restraint.
