Abstract:
A telescoping truck bed shell is disclosed herein. The truck bed shell is capable of being retracted so that the user can have full access to the truck bed and also extended so that the user can have a protected volume at the truck bed in order to store things. The telescoping truck bed has traversable frames and a traversable cover wherein the frames and cover may be traversed between extended and retracted positions depending on whether the truck bed shell is being deployed or stored.

Claim (Index 26):
A collapsible shell attachable to a truck having a cab and a truck bed, the cab defining a roof, and the truck bed defining first and second sidewalls and a tailgate, the collapsible shell comprising:\n a plurality of first frames moveable with respect to each other, the plurality of first frames being mounted to the first sidewall, the plurality of first frames being traversable between a stored position, wherein the plurality of first frames are retracted with respect to each other, and a deployed position wherein the plurality of second frames are extended out with respect to each other, each of the plurality of first frames extending from the first sidewall to define a first frame height, the first frame height of the plurality of first frames being non-uniform; a plurality of second frames moveable with respect to each other, the plurality of second frames being mounted to the second sidewall, the plurality of second frames being traversable between a stored position, wherein the plurality of second frames are retracted to each other, and a deployed position wherein the plurality of second frames are extended out with each other, each of the plurality of second frames extending from the second sidewall to define a second frame height, the second frame height of the plurality of second frames being non-uniform; a cover traversable between a stored position and an extended position wherein in the stored position and during use, the cover is disposed above a roof of the cab and in the extended position, the cover is engagable to the plurality of first and second frames to form an enclosed space at the bed of the truck; wherein when the cover is in the stored position and the plurality of first and second frames are in the stored position during use, a full length of the truck bed is accessible, and when the cover is in the extended position and the plurality of first and second frames are in the extended position during use, the shell forms a covered interior volume over the truck bed.
