BOW-TYPE TARP COVERING AND TENSIONING SYSTEM ABSTRACT A tarp cover system is disclosed for an open- topped truck or trailer container, including a tarp cover member adapted to overlie the container to close the chamber therein, the front end portion of the cover member being fastened with the external surface of the container front wall. The rear end portion of the cover is fastened to the transverse portion of a generally U-shaped normally-vertical- ly-oriented inverted bow member that extends trans- versely above the container and includes downwardly directed leg portions that extend downwardly for pivotal connection with a longitudinally displace- able carrier arrangement, whereby the bow member is displaceable in opposite directions longitudinally of the container to cover and uncover the container chamber, respectively. When the bow member is in the rear container-uncovering position, it may be pivoted rearwardly and downwardly about the lower ends of its leg portions toward a generally hori- zontal cover-tensioning position in which it is secured by tie lines. When the bow member is in its forward container-covering position, it may be pivoted forwardly and downwardly toward a contain- er-unobstructing retracted position.
