摘要 |
The invention provides a canopy (10) for an open load carrying vehicle (20), such as a pickup truck. The canopy (10) includes an expandable frame comprising a plurality of frame members (52) which are mountable on a load bed (24) of the vehicle (10) such that the frame members (52) are slidably displaceable relative to the load bed (24) to vary the size of the frame. The frame is operable between a retracted condition on the one hand, and, on the other hand, an expanded condition in which the frame extends from a front of the load bed (24) to its rear. A canvas covering (50) is positioned over the frame members (52), and the canopy (10) includes a powered drive means which is drivingly connected to the frame for powered displacement of the frame between its contracted condition and its expanded condition.
