A tonneau system that includes a retraction system having a track; and a tonneau cover having a plurality of tonneau sections, including: one or more latch bar connectors, each including a male latch connector and a female latch connector; a tonneau cap including: one or more tail connectors, each including a male connector and a female connector; the male connector engages the female latch connector and the female connector engages the male latch connector to form a fixed connection between the tonneau cap and the plurality of tonneau sections, the retraction system moves the tonneau cover, the tonneau cap extends beyond the track when the tonneau cover is in the closed position and the connection between the one or more latch bar connectors and the one or more tail connectors support the tonneau cap when the tonneau cap extends beyond the track.

Bias regulated rolling truck bed cover

A tonneau system that includes a tonneau cover and a canister. The canister includes one or more tracks for guiding the tonneau cover within the canister during movement of the tonneau cover relative to the canister; and a retraction system including: a drive roller; one or more drive gears; and a bias member that moves the drive roller and the one or more gears to assist in moving the tonneau cover relative to the canister.

A tonneau system that includes one or more tonneau sections and a retraction system. The retraction system has an adjuster shaft; a bias member; a drive roller in communication with the adjuster shaft; one or more lines connected to the one or more tonneau sections and/or to the drive roller; and an adjuster to adjust torque provided by the bias member. The bias member is connected to the adjuster shaft, the drive roller, or both.

A tonneau system that includes tonneau cover and a canister. The canister includes one or more tracks for guiding the tonneau cover within the canister during movement of the tonneau cover into the canister; and a retraction system including: a drive roller; one or more lines connecting the drive roller to the tonneau cover; a bias member that moves the drive roller and the one or more lines to assist in moving the tonneau cover into the canister, and a tensioner.

A retraction system for a tonneau cover system, the retraction system includes: an adjuster shaft; a bias member disposed around the adjuster shaft; a drive roller in communication with the bias member; an adjuster configured to permit rotation of the bias member to increase or decrease an amount of force or torque provided by the bias member; a line connected to the drive roller and to one or more tonneau sections of the tonneau cover system, and a clamp that extends around the adjuster.

A tonneau cover system for a pickup truck cargo box comprising a tonneau cover sized and shaped for covering the cargo box. A side rail comprises a first clamping surface adapted to engage the first side of the downward flange. A rod has a rod axis and is mounted on the side rail. A clamp body is mounted on the rod and includes a clamp arm having a second clamping surface adapted to engage the second side of the side rail. A cam is included with one of the side rail and the clamp body. A cam follower engages with the cam. The cam follower is included with the other one of the side rail and the clamp body. Movement of the clamp body along the axis of the rod advances the cam follower along the cam to thereby move the first clamping surface toward the downward flange.

A storage caddy comprising: (a) a frame assembly; (b) a mounting assembly connected to the frame assembly, the mounting assembly being configured to attach the storage caddy to one or more walls of a cargo box of a vehicle; (c) one or more anchors connected to the frame assembly; and (d) one or more tie-downs extending from the one or more anchors and being configured to connect to one of the one or more walls, a floor, or both of the cargo box.

Cargo box storage caddy with removable containers

A tonneau system comprising: (a) a plurality of tonneau sections; (b) a retraction system including: (i) a drive roller; (ii) a pulley spaced apart from the drive roller; (iii) a track extending from a location proximate to the drive roller to a location proximate to the pulley; and (iv) a line connected to the drive roller and one or more of the plurality of tonneau sections; wherein the line extends between the one or more of the plurality of tonneau sections and the driver roller when the plurality of tonneau sections are in the closed position, and the line extends from the one or more of the plurality of tonneau sections around the pulley and to the drive roller when the plurality of tonneau sections are in the stored position.

A tonneau cover can include at least one pair of cooperating locking elements coupled thereto with the cooperating locking elements being positioned to engage and automatically lock with each other when rearward sections of the tonneau cover are folded onto the forward section and into a stack. Thus, the cooperating locking elements can operate to retain the sections together in the stack when locked with each other.

Tonneau cover system with automatic stowing latch

A frame assembly that includes a first frame member, a seal, a second frame member, and a coupling mechanism. The first frame member includes a first extension and a second extension. The seal extends between a surface of the first extension and a surface of the second extension. The second frame member includes a third extension. The coupling mechanism is adapted to connect together the first frame member and the second frame member. After the first frame member and the second frame member are connected together, the first extension, the second extension, and the third extension cooperate to form a channel. The channel is adapted to receive a tonneau cover enclosure panel.
