A cover system (14) for an open-topped container (12), such as a dump truck body, including a flexible tarpaulin (15) sized to extend across the length of the container. A weighted element (40) is carried by the tarpaulin adjacent to but offset from the front end of the tarpaulin. The weighted element is "gravity-biased" so that it pulls the tarpaulin down and holds it down against the load within the container when the tarpaulin is in its deployed position. In a preferred embodiment, the weighted element includes one or more metal bars (42) that are contained within pockets (45) spanning the width of the tarpaulin.

La présente invention concerne un système de couverture (14) destiné à un conteneur à toit ouvrant (12), tel qu'une benne de camion-benne, comprenant une bâche flexible (15) dimensionnée pour s'étendre sur toute la longueur du conteneur. Un élément lesté (40) est supporté par la bâche de manière adjacente mais décalée par rapport à l'extrémité avant de la bâche. L'élément lesté est "sollicité par gravité" de sorte qu'il tire la bâche vers le bas et la maintien contre la charge contenu dans le conteneur lorsque la bâche est en position déployée. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, l'élément lesté comprend une ou plusieurs barres métalliques (42) qui sont contenues dans des logements de ridelles (45) portant sur la largeur de la bâche.
