Cover assembly for coal carrying vehicles

摘要

A cover assembly for vehicles, such as coal trucks, hopper cars and the like. The assembly includes a rigid cover which is mounted to the body of the vehicle by an easily engagable hinge assembly to provide a cover which can be selectively hinged to either side of the vehicle to provide a movable roof. The roof can be opened to either side of the vehicle so as to expose the coal and permit the same to be sampled or removed by an auger or other suitable mechanisms through the top of the coal carrier.
