发明名称 Flexible, removable top cover system for covering a storage space
摘要 To provide a removable cover, especially for a luggage or trunk space of a motor vehicle, a pair of essentially parallel spaced guide rails (9, 11) are secured to the side walls of the vehicle at a level preferably about the height of the back seat of the vehicle and in a common plane which extends across the space. The cover element is formed by a flexible web (15) which is coupled to and supported by a plurality of struts slidable in the guide rails. The guide rails terminate in, or are formed by a holder or retention section which is adapted to receive a receptor element (17), against which the struts can be pushed, with the web then being gathered in folds. The receptor element is removable from the holder or retention section, and a spring (62) thereon holds the gathered web and the struts in position in the receptor element. When installed in the guide rails, that is in the vehicle, the receptor element is spring-biassed for alignment with the end portion (16) of the guide rails, so that the web and the struts supporting the web can be pulled out, the struts supporting the web transversely across the trunk space. Preferably, the struts are hollow tubular elements which terminate in spring-loaded telescopically received ends, for example of low-friction plastic material, to provide resilient connection, thereby preventing rattling, and ensuring easy sliding movement.
