This hardware includes a latch to secure the lower end against sliding while any of 3 different devices are employed to lock the top of the vertically positioned cover in place. Several embodiments of devices are taught herein, including manual, mechanically-assisted and fully automated devices, for collapsing and lifting the cover into its substantially vertical storage position.
