Patent

CA 2238698

A cover for the cargo area of a vehicle includes two rails secured to opposite sides of the cargo area of the vehicle. A cover material is bounded by four peripheral rails. Two of the rails have the same cross-section and are located on two sides of the cover material. The other two rails are of a different configuration and are located on other two sides of the cover. A biasing member, such as a-torsion bar, is inserted into the ends of each of the rails secured to the vehicle bed. The opposite end of the torsion bar is located in and slides within a cylinder. The opposite end of the cylinder includes a slide member. The slide members are located in channels formed in two of the rails. In the closed position, latches engage the torsion bars and hold the cover in place. To open the cover, two of the latches are disengaged, thereby allowing the cover to rise in response to the force of the biasing members. The cover pivots about a hinge formed by the engagement of the secured latches with the torsion bars.

Capot d'espace à bagage de véhicule sur les côtés opposés de laquelle sont fixés deux rails. Le matériau formant ce capot est bordé de quatre rails. Deux d'entre eux ont la même section transversale et sont situés sur deux côtés du capot. Les deux autres rails, de forme différente, se trouvent sur deux autres côtés du capot. Un élément de compression, de type barre de torsion, est inséré dans les extrémités de chacun des rails fixés au plateau du véhicule. L'extrémité opposée de cette barre de torsion glisse dans un cylindre, l'extrémité opposée de ce cylindre étant elle-même équipée d'un élément conçu pour effectuer un mouvement de glissement. Ces éléments de glissement sont disposés dans les profilés de deux des rails. En position fermée, des verrous s'engagent avec les barres de torsion pour maintenir le capot en place. Pour ouvrir celui-ci, on désengage deux des verrous; le capot peut alors se soulever en réaction à la force imprimée par les éléments de compression et pivoter sur une charnière formée par la mise en contact des verrous avec les barres de torsion.
