ABSTRACT:
A load cover for use in association with a vehicle roof-rack or other load-carrying area has a housing in which is located a spring-loaded roller, a substantially inextensible web being wound on the roller and having a bar attached to the free end of the web. Folds are formed along the length of the web, to provide a central region, two outer wings extending along the edge regions of the web, and folded-back intermediate zones, the wings being connected together by elastic strips. Once the web has been pulled out of the housing to extend over a carried load, the bar is made fast, and then the wings are pulled down to cover the sides of the load and are tied in place. After use, and on releasing the web, it returns into the housing, by being wound on the roller, until required for use again.
