ABSTRACT:
A canopy to cover the open box or flatbed of a pickup truck and selectively retractable to uncover the flatbed and conventionally use the truck. This foldaway canopy is characterized by a pair of rigid end portions which cooperatively form an enclosing case for an intermediate section of foldable material, by a simple guide track system, and by the end portions and intermediate section outwardly overhanging a pair of guide tracks to conceal the latter against snow and ice. The rear rigid end portion is mounted on carriages engaging the guide tracks and the foldable material is supported by transverse arches having their opposite ends, each slidable on a cable mounted in the corresponding guide track. Hooks and detents are provided to lock the rear end portion in open or closed position.
