FOLDABLE COVER ASSEMBLY ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A foldable cover assembly is particularly adapted for pick-up trucks and has a plurality of slat members with a longitudinal slot extending along each end. Each slot communicates with a more extensive cavity. A plurality of hinge members connect the slat members together. The hinge members are flexible and resilient, having a centre portion and relatively thin flange portions extending longitudinally along each end of the centre portion. The hinge members have enlarged, elongated portions extending along outer ends of the flange portions. The flange portions and protrusions are shaped so the flange portions extend through the slots of the slat members, while the protrusions are retained in the cavities of the slat members. A pair of guide members are positioned in parallel, spaced-apart relationship. The guide members have inner portions for slidably receiving sides of the slat members and the hinge members thereon. A plurality of retainers slidably connect alternating hinge members to the guide members. Preferably a pair of flap members are hingedly connected to each guide member for covering sides of the slat members and the hinge members when the cover assembly is unfolded.
