ABSTRACT:
A collapsible canopy for the cargo bay of pick-up trucks, including transversely extending ribs which are longitudinally slidable along tracks on the sides of the cargo bay. Rack and pinion assemblies attached to the legs of the rearward rib, and integrally tied to a rack attached to each track, maintain transverse perpendicular alignment of the legs of that rib. Shafts projecting from the pinions and mounted to the legs of the rear rib are connected by an overhead axle with universal shafts at each end such that longitudinal movement of one leg of the rear rib will rotate its pinion, which is transmitted via the overhead axle to the opposite pinion and will thereby simultaneously move the other leg.
