ABSTRACT:
A platform stanchion (13) easily lockable to the edge of the platform (10) of a truck has a canvas-cover supporting post (17) consisting of an upper pole (26) and a lower U-section (25) connected thereto. The stanchion (13) engages with the post (17) by means of a tapered upper portion (23) with a tongue at its top. For receiving the upper portion (23) of the stanchion, the U-section (25) of the post (17) has a mating tapered recess with an opening at the top for receiving the tongue. The stanchion (13) and the post (17) can be pivoted inwards and outwards relative to each other with the tongue located in the opening of the U-section serving as pivotal center. In the swung-in position with the stanchion (13) and the post (17) aligned with each other, the stanchion is accommodated in the U-section of the post. Holes (33) provided in the flanges of the U-section are then located opposite the catches (15) which can be pivoted out of the stanchion (13) for locking the platform sides, whereby the canvas-cover supporting post (17) and the platform sides can be locked at the same time by means of the catches.
