A retractable handle arrangement may include a handle having a swing-arm moveable about a pivot axis and arranged to couple the handle to a support structure for movement between a stowed state and a deployed state. The swing arm may, in the deployed state, engage the support structure so as to substantially prevent lateral play of the handle.

Retractable handle arrangement

A device, kit, and method that utilize a cover for covering a load space of a vehicle. The cover is movable between a retracted position in which the load space is uncovered and a deployed position in which the load space is at least partially covered. A detector is used for detecting an object in the path of the cover, such that damage to the object or cover may be avoided during deployment of the cover.

Load space covering device
