摘要: A convertible furniture system or futon includes a convertible frame assembly that is mountable in an interior space and is deployable between a bench configuration and a flat, bed configuration. The frame assembly includes a back frame and a bottom frame that are pivotably coupled together and coordinate to form either the bench configuration that provides a user an upright seat or the bed configuration that provides the user a flat, substantially horizontal bed to lie down on. A user can maneuver the system from the bench configuration into the bed configuration and vice versa. The system may be installed inside of various interior living quarters, including inside of mobile vehicles. The system includes various support elements mounted to the interior space, the support element may be selectively engaged to support the system in the bed or bench configurations and during deployment and stowage of the system.

摘要: A deployable hay pod elevator system for a transport trailer, such as a livestock trailer, provides a readily deployable hay pod, storage pod, or supply platform with the trailer, and is readily stowable above the trailer in a raised configuration for travel. The elevator system includes a deployable supply platform and a vertical raising and lowering mechanism or lift system configured to move the supply platform relative to the trailer. The lift includes a pivot arm system coupled to a sidewall of the trailer and a lift assist mechanism, such as a linear actuator, to vertically raise and lower the deployable supply platform. The elevator system includes a supply platform pivot actuation mechanism to adjust the angle of the platform relative to the pivot arm during stowage and deployment of the system. The elevator system may be fitted to various types of vehicles to store and transport various materials.

摘要: A repositionable platform system for a bathroom or water closet of an RV, camper, boat, or other portable living quarter, allows for a dry bath (including a shower stall that can be somewhat isolated from the toilet) without permanently sacrificing otherwise useful floor space within the living quarter. An equipment item such as a toilet is supported on a moveable platform that is repositionable between a stowed position in which the toilet is inside of the shower stall and a deployed/extended position in which the toilet is outside the shower stall. The moveable platform may be locked at the stowed or deployed position during travel or during use of the living quarter. The toilet may be fully self-contained, refillable, and emptyable, or the toilet may be plumbed into the water supply and waste collection system of the RV or camper, such as with flexible supply and drain lines.

摘要: A vehicle-mountable accessory for a vehicle includes an access platform or landing for accessing a portion of the vehicle. The accessory is removably coupled to the vehicle. The access platform may be pivotably operable between a stowed configuration for travel and a deployed configuration that provides access to the vehicle. A deployable step or set of stairs nest under or inside of the body of the access platform and slideably deploy from the access platform to provide additional access to reach the access platform. The stairs are returned to a nested configuration for travel. The set of stairs may also pivot during deployment to improve vertical access to the access platform. The accessory includes a storage unit for storage and support of various equipment, tools, and accessories. A piece of equipment, such as a generator, can be securely mounted on top of the storage unit.

摘要: A movable storage system provides a repositionable storage location for livestock tack, including saddles and blankets. The system is particularly well suited for horse trailers and other types of transport trailers. The system includes a pivotably movable upright panel or wall that is fitted with horizontal storage arms or shelves for supporting various equipment and tack. The system can be repositioned at different angular positions relative to the upright stationary walls of the trailer, as desired. The system includes hinges coupling one side of the storage system to the trailer to provide a vertical pivot axis about which the system is pivotable. Latches are provided to secure the system at a desired angular position within the trailer. Storage compartments and gates may be included with the storage system.

摘要: An accessory support platform is provided for supporting a removable accessory, e.g. a stair system or cabinet, adjacent to a vehicle or portable living quarter, such as a truck-bed mounted camper. The accessory platform includes a support frame for coupling the platform to the truck camper. The support frame supports or suspends a support rail system from the rear portion of the truck camper. The rail system includes an upper support rail and a lower support rail that is suspended below and apart from the upper rail. The removable accessory may be coupled at one of or between both of the upper and lower support rails. The removable accessory is preferably readily repositionable relative to the upper and lower support rails. A coupling bracket and/or hanger secures the removable accessory to the rail system.
