Platform System for Vehicle Interior with a Wheel Attachment

Abstract

At least one embodiment of the inventive technology may be a disassemblable platform system in a pickup truck cab, or other vehicle, such as, but not limited to, a SUV or van that (after installation), comprises: a plurality of panels (generally, 40, as installed) relatively positioned to form a flat, raised rigid platform 41 in a pickup truck cab and that is elevated above lower seat cushions, where such panels include two rear panels 1,2 (i.e., in the rear seat area), a driver area panel 3, a passenger area panel 6, and a console area panel 42 between said driver area panel and said passenger area panel. The system further includes horizontal supports 43 that underlie at least some of said panels, such horizontal supports including at least two right-left horizontal support bars 44 (i.e., a horizontal support bar that is installed in a right-left direction defined by the vehicle); and panel-attached horizontal supports 45, each of which is attached to a panel to which it is dedicated.

1 . A disassemblable platform system in a vehicle interior comprising a plurality of panels relatively positioned to form a flat, raised rigid platform in a vehicle interior, the platform being elevated above lower seat cushions in the vehicle interior, the plurality of panels comprising at least one rear panel, a driver area panel, a passenger area panel, and a steering wheel attachment member, the steering wheel attachment member configured to attach to a vehicle steering wheel. 
     
     
         2 . The disassemblable platform system of  claim 1 , the steering wheel attachment member configured to attach to a perimeter of the vehicle steering wheel. 
     
     
         3 . The disassemblable platform system of  claim 1 , the steering wheel attachment member configured to attach to a spoke of the vehicle steering wheel. 
     
     
         4 . The disassemblable platform system of  claim 1 , the steering wheel attachment member configured to attach to a central body of the vehicle steering wheel. 
     
     
         5 . The disassemblable platform system of  claim 1 , the steering wheel attachment member configured to attach to a pivot engagement system of the vehicle steering wheel. 
     
     
         6 . The disassemblable platform system of  claim 1 , the steering wheel attachment member including a balancing mechanism, the balancing mechanism connected to a first position of the vehicle steering wheel left of a vehicle steering wheel center of gravity and a second position of the vehicle steering wheel right of the vehicle steering wheel center of gravity. 
     
     
         7 . The disassemblable platform system of  claim 1 , additionally comprising including a balancing mechanism, the balancing mechanism connected to a first position of the vehicle steering wheel left of a vehicle steering wheel center of gravity and a second position of the vehicle steering wheel right of the vehicle steering wheel center of gravity. 
     
     
         8 . The disassemblable platform system of  claim 1 , additionally comprising a balancing rod, the balancing rod configured provide tension between the vehicle steering wheel and a floor, wall, or ceiling of the vehicle interior in order to prevent the vehicle steering wheel from rotating.
