Abstract: The slide-out undercarriage storage apparatus includes a storage bin or tray and a slide-out mechanism, which allows the bin or tray to be manually pulled between a retracted storage position and an extended open position. The slide-out mechanism includes a pair of fixed frame rails, a pair slide rails and three pairs of track rollers. The slide rails are nested within corresponding frame rails and supported by three track rollers, which allow the slide rails to shift longitudinally about the frame rails. Each of the frame and slide rails have a perpendicular flat flange and a V-shaped flange. One pair of track rollers are mounted to the front end of the frame rails. Two track rollers are rotatably mounted to the slide rails, one located at the back of the slide rail and at an intermediate position along the slide rail. V-shaped flanges of the frame and slide rails have slanted inner faces that provides a race for two of the track rollers.

Abstract: The lead screw assembly uses a traveler nut which includes a second “nut” screw in meshed contact with the lead screw to transfer the load on the lead screw assembly to thrust bearings. The nut screw is rotational disposed within the nut housing and journaled between a pair of thrust bearings. The orientation of the nut screw to the lead screw and the operative engagement between lead screw and nut screw allows a portion of the load to be transferred to the thrust bearings, thereby reducing the sliding friction of the traveler nut under load. Consequently, the majority of the load is carried by the thrust bearings, which enhances the power efficiency of the lead screw assembly.

Abstract: The slide-out room is constructed from monocoque laminate wall panels interconnected by an end wall sub-frame. The end wall sub-frame is constructed from unique main extrusion members that are interconnected using key-locked miter joints. Each main extrusion member has a generally Z-shaped cross section, which allows the members to be joined using two joint keys fitted into spaced parallel key channels formed in the main extrusion members. The end wall sub frame also includes secondary extrusion members welded to the main extrusion members and interconnected using a lap joint. The secondary extrusion members have legs that are spaced from the legs of the main extrusion so that the monocoque panels can be fitted and secured between the legs to and from the side walls, ceiling and floor of the slide-out room. A monocoque panel is bonded directly to the outside of the end wall sub-frame to form the slide-out room end wall.

Abstract: A stow-away bed is disclosed that includes a flat rectangular deck pivotally mounted between opposed vehicle end walls by a pair of parallel swing arms. The parallel swing arms allow the bed deck to remain horizontal as the deck is manually swung between the storage and sleep positions. The stow-away bed is pivotally mounted between opposed vehicle end walls for movement between a sleep position where the bed deck is suspended adjacent the vehicle ceiling and a sleep position, where the bed deck is suspended from the vehicle ceiling. In one embodiment, a pair of elastic cords connect the bed deck to the vehicle side wall. The elastic cords pull the bed deck toward the vehicle sidewall and help hold the bed deck in the sleep position. In another embodiment, a chain drive and piston prop are incorporated to assist in moving the bed between the storage and sleep positions.

Abstract: This dinette for use in a recreational vehicle includes a collapsible table assembly, which shifts vertically between a raised table position and a lowered bed position and eliminates the need for support posts or legs. The collapsible table assembly includes a table top/bed deck mounted to a vertically shiftable carriage and supported by a four point linkage. The carriage rides on four wheels, which are seated in two opposed tracks of a wall bracket. The support linkage allows the table top to be raised and lowered between the table and bed positions. A gas piston or spring biases the table top toward the raised table position.

Abstract: The fold-down kitchenette is designed for use in folding camping trailers and includes a two part cabinet having a base section and a movable top section, which can be moved between a raised functional position and a lowered transportation position. The top section of the cabinet supports a conventional sink and stove. Flexible drain hoses, waterlines, gas lines and electrical wiring are used to facilitate the movement of the top section between its functional and transportation positions. In two embodiments, the top section is pivotally connected to the base section by a linkage. The linkage uses a pivoting parallelogram mechanism, which allows the top section to move between a functional position seated atop the base section and a transportation position resting on the floor of the trailer. In another embodiment, the top section shiftably rides along a U-shaped track, which allows the top to shift between the raised functional position and the lowered transportation position.

Abstract: A slide-out room for mobile living quarters is moved between a retracted position above the main floor of the main living area to an extended position with the auxiliary floor substantially flush with the main floor by engaging an extendable drive connected at one point to the slide-out room and connected at a second point to the main living area structure. The actuating system accommodates up and down movement of the auxiliary floor when the slide-out room is shifted. A cord retractor attachable to said mobile living quarters allows a power cord or other similarly flexible wires or tubing to be extended away from the main living area in conjunction with extension of the slide-out room. When the slide-out room is retracted, the cord retractor urges the cord to a resting position between the auxiliary floor and sub-floor in conjunction with the retraction of the slide-out room and prevents binding or bunching of the cord.

Abstract: A slide-out room for recreational vehicles, sleeper cabs of trucks, and similar mobile living quarters is supported for movement through an aperture in the side wall of the mobile living quarters by a set of four linkages, two of which are mounted between each side of the slide-out room in the corresponding side of the aperture of the side wall of the unit. When the slide-out room is fully retracted within the mobile living quarters, one of the linkages on each side of the slide-out room is fully extended and the other is fully collapsed. As the slide-out room is moved toward the fully-extended position, the other linkage gradually expands and the one linkage collapses, so in the fully extended, as well as the fully retracted position, the slide-out room is supported and aligned for movement through the aperture in the vehicle slide-out room, and the slide-out room is continuously supported as it travels between the extended and retracted positions.

Abstract: A structure having an interior living space, an optional cab for operation of a propulsion system, and at least one expanding chamber. Each chamber is a box with one open wall. The structure may be a towable trailer, a recreational vehicle body on a truck chassis, or a motorized recreational vehicle, or a trailer with a support system instead of wheels for stationary use, or a fixed building on a foundation. The structure's living space is open at the interface with a respective expansion chamber. For use, a stowed chamber moves from within the structure, between its outer walls, to an expanded position external of the structure. A pair of cantilevered deployable rails are moved, prior in time to a chamber exodus, outwardly from beneath the structure to support the chamber to be expanded.
