ABSTRACT:
A cover assembly for covering an open top of a truck body includes a frame which attaches to the truck body and extends over the open top thereof. A cover is attached at its front end to the front of the frame and at its rear end to endless cables extended along the sides of the frame. The cables are trained around sheaves which are mounted on the frame at the front and rear thereof. The sheaves at the front of the frame are on a common axle which is powered by suitable drive means in both directions. In one direction of movement, the cover will accumulate in folds and will eventually be located in a compact condition over the front of the frame. In the other direction of movement, the cover will unfold and spread out over the frame.
