The latch and lock mechanism is placed in a modified lead slat of the cover for latching to the cover guide tracks and to the tailgate. A key lockable actuating handle in placed on the slat concealing linkage arms pivotally connected to the handle further attached to a first and second diametrically opposed push rod for simultaneous operation of a four point spring biased latching mechanism. A flexible scrap is connected to the cover to manually move the cover.

Le mécanisme de blocage et de verrouillage intégré à la première latte modifiée du couvre-benne constitue le moyen d'accrochage aux rails de guidage prévus sur les flancs de la benne et au hayon de celle-ci. Une poignée de manoeuvre à serrure à clé est montée sur cette latte qui dissimule des bielles articulées à ladite poignée d'une part et d'autre part à deux poussoirs opposés servant à actionner simultanément un mécanisme de blocage quatre points à ressort. Une sangle fixée au couvre-benne sert à sa manoeuvre de la position escamotée à la position sortie. Le mécanisme de blocage sert à maintenir le couvre-benne dans les rails de guidage montés sur le flanc de la benne et à le verrouiller au hayon relevé. L'invention concerne également une lèvre couvre-hayon et un dispositif de fixation servant à assujettir fermement la latte modifiée au hayon et à constituer une surface plane de protection et de masquage du mécanisme de blocage.
