<p>The invention relates to a cover frame for supporting a tarpaulin for vehicles, particularly lorries and trailers, the cover frame comprising an upper level comprising transverse support members (9, 10) and longitudinal support members (7, 8, 11, 13a, 13b), some of the longitudinal support members (7, 8) being arranged in the edge area of the upper level and others (11, 13a, 13b) in the middle area of the upper level, wherein at least one support member (13a, 13b) comprises a ridge (14a1, 14b1) protruding above the upper level of the cover frame when the support member is in a second position, the plane defined by the ridge being at an angle with respect to the upper level of the cover frame. In order to prevent harmful water, snow and ice, which cause dangerous situations in traffic, from being collected onto the cover frame and to provide the tarpaulin with a simple structure and improved support by the support member the ridge (14a1, 14b1) of the support member is alternatively movable by means of a bearing (15a, 17a, 15b, 17b) into a first position where the plane defined by the ridge is substantially parallel with respect to the upper level of the cover frame, or to said second position where the ridge protrudes above the upper level of the cover frame, the plane defined by the ridge being at an angle with respect to the upper level of the cover frame. <IMAGE></p> |
