International Classification:

B60S 118

US Classification:

74 42

Abstract:

A pivot joint includes a housing surrounding a rotatable shaft. A retainer clip frictionally engages the shaft and seats against one end of the housing to fixedly axially position the rotatable shaft and the housing with respect to each other and to a rotatable lever connected to one end of the rotatable shaft. In one embodiment, the rotatable shaft is hardened and the retainer clip is hardened to a higher hardness than the hardness of the rotatable shaft. In another embodiment, a pair of retainer clips frictionally engage opposite ends of the rotatable shaft and seat against the rotatable lever and one end of the housing to form a fixed dimensional relationship between the housing, the rotatable shaft and the lever. The retainer clip may include notches formed on the edge of a frusto-conical annulus surrounding a central aperture in the retainer clip to form a discontinuous shaft engaging surface.

B60J 10/80

Abstract:

A retractable cover system includes a frame that includes laterally spaced apart guide rails. A flexible cover is slidably supported with respect to the guide rails. The cover has laterally opposing end portions each with an end that is arranged over and overlaps a respective one of the guide rails to provide an outer seal. In one embodiment, a flap is secured to the cover near each of the ends. Each flap is configured to retain its respective end portion to its respective guide rail. The cover is secured in a desired position by clamping a portion of the cover, for example, the flap.

International Classification:

B60J 7/06

Abstract:

Cover system for a load bed of a vehicle having a winding shaft mounted rotatably in a support structure, a flexible flat structure mounted on the winding shaft for winding and unwinding between a rest position and a covering position and connected to a pull-out profile on an end region spaced from the winding shaft. Two guide rail arrangements are provided on opposite sides of the flat structure in which the pull-out profile is guided. The flat structure is reinforced in a manner over its length via a plurality of transverse bows which extend over an entire width of the flat structure and are guided in the guide rail arrangements.
