ABSTRACT:
A collapsible canopy for vehicles having cargo beds and for pickup trucks, in particular. The canopy includes a pair of channel members suitable for mounting on the top side walls of a pickup box; slide members mounted within each channel member; a plurality of arch-shaped rigid stays, extending across the box and mounted adjacent and parallel with one another from the front toward the rear of the box, each stay affixed to respective slide members for reciprocal movement therewith; a flexible canopy cover engaging the stays; and latches for holding the stays in a spaced apart, extended mode so that the cover extends over the box. Elastic bands engaging the cover in parallel relationship between adjacent rigid stays draw the rigid stays together when the latch is released so as to collapse the cover for storage adjacent the back of the pickup cab.
