A hinge assembly (30) mounts a hard tonneau cover (26) on a vehicle having a storage area. The assembly (30) has a moveable hinge portion (32) adapted mounting on the tonneau cover and a stationary hinge portion (34) adapted for mounting to the vehicle. A guided member (48) co-acts with a guiding member (40, 42) for pivotally mounting the tonneau cover (26) to the vehicle about an axis of rotation between a closed position. The guiding member (40, 42) positions the axis of rotation of the tonneau cover (26) forwardly of an upper edge of the storage area allowing the forward edge of the tonneau cover to lift thereby minimizing damage to the peripheral seal (36).
L'invention concerne un ensemble (30) charnière qui sert au montage d'un couvre tonneau (26) rigide sur un véhicule pourvu d'une surface de stockage. Cet ensemble (30) possède une partie charnière mobile (32) adaptée pour un montage sur le couvre tonneau et une partie charnière fixe (34) adaptée pour un montage sur le véhicule. Un élément guidé (48) coopère avec un élément de guidage (40, 42) de façon à réaliser un montage pivotant du couvre tonneau (26) sur le véhicule, couvrant un axe de rotation entre la position ouverte et fermée. L'élément de guidage (40, 42) positionne l'axe de rotation du couvre tonneau (26) en avant d'un bord supérieur de la surface de stockage permettant au bord avant du couvre-tonneau de monter, minimisant ainsi la dégradation du joint périphérique (36).
