The combination of a lockable, soft, flexible tonneau cover (1) for the bed of a pickup truck (3) or similar vehicle and a lockable tailgate (9). The tonneau cover (1) is positioned over the bed and attached to rails (27, 21) on the front (5) and side (7) walls of the vehicle (3) and to a rear rail (31) suspended across the tailgate opening (9'). A catch (43) is provided to selectively lock the rear rail (31) and attached cover (1) in place over the bed. In the preferred embodiment, the catch (43) is only accessible through the tailgate opening (9') and the tailgate (9) is lockable. Consequently, to unlock and remove the tonneau cover (1) to expose the bed and its contents, the tailgate (9) must first be unlocked and opened to reach the catch (43) for the rear rail (31). In another embodiment, the catch (43) is remotely controlled by an electronic actuator (65, 65').

L'invention concerne une combinaison de bâche (1) souple pouvant être verrouillée destinée à la plate-forme d'une camionnette (3), ou d'un véhicule similaire et d'une porte arrière (9) pouvant être verrouillée. La bâche (1) est placée sur la plate-forme, et fixée à des rails (27, 21) situés sur l'avant (5) et les parois latérales (7) du véhicule (3) et à un rail arrière (31) disposé en travers de l'ouverture (9') de la porte arrière. Un loquet (43) verrouille le rail arrière (31) de manière sélective, et fixe la bâche (1) sur la plate-forme. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le loquet (43) est accessible uniquement par l'ouverture (9') de la porte arrière et la porte arrière (9) peut être verrouillée. En conséquence, pour déverrouiller et retirer la bâche (1) afin de découvrir la plate-forme et son contenu, la porte arrière (9) doit être déverrouillée et ouverte de façon à atteindre le loquet (43) qui verrouille le rail arrière (31). Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le loquet (43) est commandé à distance par un actionneur électronique (65, 65').
