Foldable tonneau cover for pick-up truck and hidden-type hinge thereof

摘要

A foldable tonneau cover is disclosed and has two frame sections and at least one hidden-type hinge. Two frame members of two adjacent frame sections are correspondingly formed with two embedded holes. The hidden-type hinge is pivotally connected between the adjacent frame members. When the frame sections are horizontally extended relative to each other, the hidden-type hinge is substantially received in the embedded holes. When the frame sections are rotated or folded relative to each other, the hidden-type hinge is partially exposed out of the embedded holes. Thus, the occupied space of the hidden-type hinge and the gap between the adjacent frame sections can be minimized. The waterproof flexible strip can be continuously extended along the entire length of the two adjacent frame members without being interfered with by the hidden-type hinge substantially hidden within frame members, so as to enhance the waterproof reliability thereof.

主权项

1. A foldable tonneau cover for a pick-up truck, comprising:
a first frame section having a plurality first frame members; a second frame section having a plurality second frame members, wherein the adjacent first and second frame members of the first and second frame sections have two opposite side surfaces; and at least one hidden-type hinge pivotally connected between the adjacent first and second frame members, wherein the hidden-type hinge is substantially hidden in the opposite side surfaces of the adjacent first and second frame members when the first and second frame sections are horizontally extended relative to each other; and the hidden-type hinge is partially exposed out of the opposite side surfaces of the adjacent first and second frame members when the first and second frame sections are rotated or folded relative to each other.
