ABSTRACT:
The apparatus of the invention, when closed, serves to fully close and cover the bed of a pick-up truck. In a preferred embodiment, it incorporates four sections, the first of which is permanently affixed to the bed adjacent to the cab of the pick-up. A second section of the apparatus connects to the first by means of a hinge coupled to the two sections on their top surfaces, along their facing edges. A third section of the apparatus similarly connects to the second section, by means of a hinge coupled to the two on their top surfaces, likewise along their facing edges. The fourth section of the apparatus connects to the third section, again along their facing edges, but this time by means of a hinge coupled to the two sections on their underside surfaces, with the fourth section being releasably secured to the bed at its rear end. When the bed is to be uncovered, the fourth section is released from its securement, and folded together with the third and second sections onto the first section where the second, third and fourth sections are then tied off, to be there held in place.
