Claims21
1-24. (canceled)
A vehicle comprising:
- a structural assembly defining at least a portion of a passenger cabin space;
- a rack assembly;
- a rack sleeve coupled to the structural assembly and defining a rack holding space;
- and
- a rack repositioning management system configured to:
- longitudinally move the rack assembly by an extension distance along a longitudinal axis between:
- a first rack assembly position where an expandable portion of the rack assembly is positioned inside the rack holding space in a contracted rack assembly configuration;
- and
- a second rack assembly position where the expandable portion of the rack assembly is positioned outside the rack holding space in the contracted rack assembly configuration;
- and
- laterally move a lateral portion of the expandable portion of the rack assembly by a lateral expansion distance along a latitudinal axis between:
- the second rack assembly position;
- and
- a third rack assembly position where the expandable portion of the rack assembly is positioned outside the rack holding space in a laterally expanded rack assembly configuration.

A vehicle comprising:
- a structural assembly;
- a rack assembly;
- and
- a rack repositioning management system for moving the rack assembly with respect to the structural assembly, the rack repositioning management system comprising:
- a tube coupled to the structural assembly, wherein the tube defines a hollow passageway extending between a first tube end and a second tube end along an extension axis;
- a rod extending between a first rod end and a second rod end coupled to the rack assembly, wherein a portion of the rod extends through the hollow passageway between the first tube end and the second tube end;
- and
- an actuator assembly coupled to the first rod end and configured to move the rod along the extension axis.
5 more elements
A method for managing a vehicle that comprises a structural assembly;
- a rack sleeve coupled to the structural assembly and defining a rack holding space, a rack assembly, and a rack repositioning management system, the method comprising:
- using the rack repositioning management system, longitudinally moving the rack assembly by an extension distance along a longitudinal axis between:
- a first rack assembly position where an expandable portion of the rack assembly is positioned inside the rack holding space in a contracted rack assembly configuration;
- and
- a second rack assembly position where the expandable portion of the rack assembly is positioned outside the rack holding space in the contracted rack assembly configuration;
- and
- using the rack repositioning management system, expanding a portion of the expandable portion of the rack assembly between:
- the second rack assembly position;
- and
- a third rack assembly position where the expandable portion of the rack assembly is positioned outside the rack holding space in an expanded rack assembly configuration.
