Multi-component hard top assembly for vehicle enclosure
The patent US12065024B2 describes a versatile vehicle design featuring a multi-component hard top assembly that can be selectively and removably attached to the vehicle body. This assembly includes a rear window that can also be detached, allowing for an enclosed configuration that partially encloses the vehicle's interior. The vehicle is designed with a truck bed that defines a cargo area and an interior space for passenger seating. A notable feature is the interior cabin rear wall, which separates the cargo area from the passenger space and contains a channel for the rear window assembly, facilitating its sliding and removal.
Additionally, the hard top assembly comprises multiple removable roof panels and a pair of removable C-pillars, enhancing the vehicle's adaptability. Each roof panel can be detached individually, allowing for an open-air configuration at specific locations while maintaining the option to transport smaller sections of the hard top without requiring specialized equipment. The design also includes upper and lower channels that work together to secure the rear window assembly, which features a frame supporting a glass window. Overall, this innovative vehicle design emphasizes flexibility and ease of use, catering to users who may want to modify their vehicle's configuration for different purposes.
