ABSTRACT:
To close the opening (15) of the load compartment (14) of a truck, one end of a tarpaulin (20) is fixed above the opening (15), while its other end comprises a hooking means (24) that can be firmly hooked in the lower end of the opening (15). The tarpaulin (20) is provided with holes (25) through which the traction elements (18) are threaded. The latter are wound on tension rollers (17) contracting the tarpaulin (20) to form a parcel. To close the opening (15), the hooking means (24) is hooked to catch the lower end of the opening (15). By inflating a cushion (23) over which the tarpaulin (20) is guided, it will be stretched accordingly.
