20110101719 | Vehicle for Deploying a Mobile Surveillance Module - A surveillance module may be deployed from a vehicle. The vehicle to deploy the surveillance module includes a first portion configured to accommodate a user to operate the vehicle. A second portion includes a module configured to accommodate the user and comprising a roof and an entrance accessible through an interior of the vehicle from the first portion. The second portion also includes a lifting mechanism coupled to the module and operable to move the module vertically from a retracted position to an extended position. A third portion defines an opening to accommodate the module, wherein the roof of the module couples to a periphery of the opening in the retracted position. | 05-05-2011 |
20120019021 | SYSTEM FOR REDUCING THE AIR RESISTANCE OF A TRUCK - A system for reducing the air resistance of a truck, particularly an articulated vehicle, wherein the vehicle comprises a cargo space that is limited downward by a loading floor and in the height thereof by a roof wall spaced apart therefrom. The aim is to provide a system that minimizes the face area of the truck and thus the fuel consumption in dependence on the actual cargo space used. According to one embodiment, the roof wall is height-adjustable opposite the loading floor. | 01-26-2012 |
20120223540 | Recreational Vehicle Lift Mechanism - A lift mechanism for raising and lowering a movable roof on a recreational vehicle. The lift mechanism includes a base, a drive assembly attached to the base, and an elevation assembly attached to the base and configured for cooperation with the drive assembly. The elevation assembly is configured to operate between a lowered position and a raised position to provide vertical movement to the movable roof. | 09-06-2012 |
20130062900 | Hard sided pop-up truck camper - This invention is a hard sided pop-up truck camper that fits on an ordinary pickup truck. When folded down, it looks like a typical pickup truck topper and will allow the truck to fit into a garage. The folding sides take up less than 6 inches of height when folded which maximizes its use as a topper for hauling while also maximizing the vertical height when erected so it can be used as a camper. When erected, it allows a person to stand upright throughout the inside of the camper. Current hard sided pop-up truck campers are designed to extend by raising straight up mechanically, the sides do not fold down upon themselves like this invention does. Also, current hard sided pop-up truck campers in the down position typically extend above the cab of the truck making them too high to fit through a garage door. | 03-14-2013 |
20140042764 | HUNGRY BOARD ASSEMBLY - Hungry boards, or spill boards, for mounting about a tip truck load carrying body are formed with a pair of spaced apart vertical bores corresponding to and depending downward from the access cutouts. Vertical bores formed through the hungry board receive the threaded end of an anchor bolt which is welded to lip of the body. The anchor bolt comprises part of a resilient fastening system for attachment of the hungry board the anchor bolt is formed with a flat foot from which a shank extends. The shank terminates upwardly in a threaded upper end. A compression spring is located about the shank and arranged to absorb impact forces directed at the hungry board during use. The hungry boards are made of a light weight resilient material such as a tough synthetic rubber. | 02-13-2014 |
