Abstract:
A vehicle includes a main floor and a slide-out portion which includes a slide-out floor. A flush floor slide-out mechanism may be used to move the slide-out portion between a retracted position where the slide-out floor is positioned adjacent to the main floor and an extended position where the slide-out floor is at least substantially flush with the main floor.
Abstract:
A vehicle includes at least two items that move vertically between a lowered position and a raised position. In one embodiment, one of the items is a seating unit having a seat back and a seat base such as a couch or a dinette. The seating unit may convert into a bed. In another embodiment, one of the items may be a bed. The vehicle may also include a cargo area which is configured to receive an off-road vehicle. One or more of the items may be lifted in the cargo area to provide additional cargo space in the vehicle. The vehicle may also include other items that move vertically such as a desk, a table, a workbench, an entertainment center, an appliance, a television, a sink, a cupboard, a cabinet, a shelf, and/or a counter.
Abstract:
A structure is described which includes a bed and an apparatus having a flexible drive member which moves along an endless path. The apparatus is coupled to the structure and to the bed, and the apparatus is used to vertically move the bed along the endless path.
Abstract:
A land vehicle includes a first floor, a second floor, a first support member, a second support member, and a gear. The first support may be coupled to the land vehicle and sloped relative to the first floor. The second support member may be supported by the first support member and coupled to the second floor. The second support member may include an engaging portion. The gear may cooperate with the engaging portion to move the second support member relative to the first support member and thus move the second floor between a first position where the second floor is positioned adjacent to the first floor and a second position where the second floor is substantially level with the first floor.
Abstract:
An anchor device for securing a camper in a bed of a truck is that includes a bracket that is configured to be mounted below the horizontal planar level of the bed of the truck and to stably retain the camper in the bed of the truck while limiting the rotational, horizontal and vertical movement of the camper. The bracket comprises a first arm and a second arm that are connected by a corner portion so as to have a generally elbow-shaped profile and a cross member that provides strength and rigidity to the bracket. The cross member has an outside surface and is attached to the first arm and the second arm such that the cross member and the edges of the first arm and said second arm are substantially parallel. The first arm, the second arm, and the cross member are configured to be mounted on three surfaces of the truck so as to limit any rotational, horizontal and vertical movement of the camper. The truck has a cross frame and a truck skin and either the first arm or the second arm of the bracket is attached to said truck skin. The other of the first arm or the second arm of the bracket is attached to either the cross frame or the bottom surface of the bed of the truck. The anchor device includes a tie-down assembly and a connecting assembly that are configured to cooperate.
