Tonneau cover with ball and socket rear rail latch

摘要

A tonneau cover for covering the cargo box of a pick-up truck in which the rear frame rail of the tonneau cover is attached to the frame side rails by ball and socket latch assemblies. The ball and socket latch assemblies replace thumb screws to provide an inexpensive, tool free attachment of the rear frame member. This enables the rear frame member to be removed from the tonneau cover frame when large objects are loaded into the cargo box without the use of tools and without the risk of using threaded fasteners such as a thumb screws.
