20130001979 | TONNEAU COVER RETENTION AND DRAIN SYSTEMS - A tonneau cover system for a cargo box of a pickup truck comprising a plurality of tonneau sections each being pivotally coupled to the other to permit pivotal movement of a first tonneau sections relative to a second tonneau sections between an opened position and a closed position. The tonneau cover system further comprises a side rail member connectable to a side wall of the cargo box, a keeper member downwardly extending from the first tonneau sections for pivotal movement therewith between the opened position and the closed position; and a first keeper pin coupled with the side rail member. The keeper member automatically engages the first keeper pin when the first tonneau section is pivoted into the closed position and automatically disengages the first keeper pin when the first tonneau section is pivoted into the open position. | 01-03-2013 |

20140152046 | FLEXIBLE FOLDING COVER - A tonneau cover system for a cargo box of a pickup truck having a first tonneau section, a second tonneau section, a third tonneau section, and a fourth tonneau section, each being generally coplanar in an extended position. A first hinge system hingedly couples the first and second sections to permit pivotal stacked nesting of the first section relative to the second section. A second hinge system hingedly couples the second and third sections to permit pivotal stacked nesting of the combination of the first and second sections relative to the third section. Finally, a third hinge system hingedly couples the third section to the fourth section to permit pivotal movement of the combination of the first, second, and third tonneau sections relative to the fourth section into a retracted, stacked, and rotated upward position. | 06-05-2014 |
20150061315 | TRI-FOLD HARD TONNEAU COVER WITH HINGED FRONT OPENING - A tonneau cover system for a cargo box of a pickup truck having a first tonneau section, a second tonneau section, and a third tonneau section. A first hinge system hingedly couples the first and second sections to permit pivotal stacked nesting of the first section relative to the second section. A second hinge system hingedly couples the second section to an attachment member assembly, which is connected to the cargo box, to permit pivotal stacked nesting of the combination of the first and second sections relative to the third section. Finally, a third hinge system hingedly couples the third section to a front mounting bar assembly, which is connected to the front wall of the cargo box, to permit pivotal movement only the third tonneau section into a raised position. | 03-05-2015 |

20160096421 | TONNEAU COVER SYSTEM AND SIDE LOCK CLAMP - A clamp to secure a tonneau cover to a frame of a cargo box includes a first clamp member coupled to the tonneau cover and has a first clamping surface. A second clamp member is coupled to the tonneau cover and has a second clamping surface. A ramp mechanism can include at least one ramp surface between the first and second clamp members shaped to cause lateral translation of the second clamping surface toward the first clamping surface in response to axial movement of the second clamp member toward the first clamp member as the clamp moves from an unclamped position to a clamped position. When in the clamped position, the first clamping surface of the first clamp member can be in opposed relationship to the second clamping surface to apply a clamping force therebetween, which can reinforce and prevent permanent deformation of the frame. | 04-07-2016 |
20160096422 | TONNEAU COVER SYSTEM AND RATCHET CLAMP - A threaded rod can be pivotably coupled to the tonneau cover via a proximal end. A housing can have first and second housing portions slidably coupled to the threaded rod and moveable along the threaded rod relative to each other between locked and unlocked positions. The second housing portion can include a channel positioned to receive a downwardly disposed distal edge of an inboard flange. Locking pawls within the housing can move to engage threads of the rod to prevent movement of the channel relative to the elongate member when in the locked position. The locking pawls can move to release the threads of the rod to allow movement of the channel relative to the rod when in the unlocked position. A biasing member can apply a biasing force biasing the housing toward the proximal end of the elongate member and biasing the housing toward the locked position. | 04-07-2016 |
20160096423 | TONNEAU COVER SYSTEM AND CLAMP - A clamp for clamping a tonneau cover to a vehicle cargo box. The clamp can include a first member, a second member, a rod, and a driving member. The first member can have a proximal end pivotably coupled to the cover and a distal end pivotably coupled to a proximal end of the second member. The second member can have a distal end extending at an angle relative to its proximal end and toward the cover. The rod can be coupled to the first member's proximal end and can extend through an opening intermediate the second member's proximal and distal ends. The driving member can be mounted on the rod to engage the second member between its proximal and distal ends to drive the second member along the rod and to cause the first and second members to pivot relative to each other between unclamped and clamped positions. | 04-07-2016 |
