A tonneau cover assembly for a truck having a bed and a pair of upstanding sidewalls generally includes a panel having a perimeter conforming to a perimeter of the bed and a mechanism for enabling movement of the panel between the first position abutting the bed and a second position generally level with tops of the upstanding sidewalls.

The cantilever cover is suspended from one side over an article to be protected from the elements. The cover has a canopy frame and flexible, weatherproof canopy or cover secured thereover. A pair of canopy frame support arms extends from corresponding closed sleeves, which ride up and down upon the vertical support columns of a hoist assembly. Each sleeve includes a pair of diagonally opposed rollers, which bear against opposite sides of its respective column. A single winch (electric, hydrauli...

The present invention provides an improved method and apparatus for manufacturing communication devices. A cover is attached to a surface of a faceplate that includes at least one opening, to provide enhanced device protection and sound quality. In one embodiment of the present invention, ultrasonic energy is used to cleanly and efficiently attach a cover to an inner surface of the faceplate. Advantageously, the present invention provides for improved manufacturing consistency and efficiency whi...

The invention comprises a retractable cover system comprising: a flexible cover. A plurality of supporting bows support the cover A semi-rigid member having first and second ends is secured to the cover section. The semi-rigid member is capable of flexing laterally outward if the system is retracted. This outward action allows the cover or cover sections to consistently fold in the same way and prevents the cover or cover sections from getting caught in the load or in the cover system componentr...

A telescopic cover which relieves impact caused when a cover member is stopped moving and which is less meandering. A braking mechanism is provided between one of two adjacent cover members of the telescopic cover and the other of the two adjacent cover members which telescopically moves into and out of the one cover member. The braking mechanism is provided at a distal end portion of the one cover member, and has an elastic member that presses a slide member against the other cover member. When...

A soft top tonneau cover is formed from a plurality of hinged frame sections that are foldable between overlaying positions and extended positions. Camlock clamps are integrated into the frame so as to provide a stable, quick release latch to the walls of the bed with a minimum of spacial intrusion into the bed. The hinge between the frame sections has a double pivot so as to automatically tension the top when folded open. Strap clamps are integrated into the frame so as to permit the sections t...

A covering module (04, 05, 09, 19, 29, 48, 60) is provided for arrangement on the inside of the roof of a vehicle. The covering module (04, 05, 09, 19, 29, 48, 60) covers the inside of the roof in the area of the sheet metal car body (02) at least partially, in particular essentially completely. All function elements to be provided overhead from the passengers in the vehicle are completely preassembled on the covering module (04, 05, 09, 19, 29, 48, 60).

A boat cover support has a disc member placed against the cover. A vertical strut is received in a socket extending downward from the disc member. The socket has two opposed, semicircular walls to receive a circular strut. The ends of the socket walls are integral with the recesses. The ends of the socket walls are spaced apart to form a transverse notch through the socket to receive a rectangular strut. The disc member has slots arrayed in groups of three around the periphery. Straps extending ...

A spout cover for a spout having an outlet end includes a first member, having a deflector, mounted to a second member having a liquid soap reservoir and a dispenser for dispensing liquid soap from the liquid soap reservoir toward the deflector. A receiving area is defined between the first and second members for receiving the spout. The first member is movable relative to the second member between a first position permitting the spout to be received in the receiving area and a second position l...

An orifice cover is described that is selectively disposed within an orifice having a structural member adapted to extend through the orifice. The orifice includes an inner peripheral extent and both an inner surface and an outer surface. The orifice cover further includes an elastomeric main body having an outer periphery. The outer periphery selectively engages the inner peripheral extent of the orifice and the outer periphery includes a securing mechanism for securing the orifice cover to the...
