ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for covering the open truck beds of pickup trucks and the like with a flexible cover is described. The apparatus is a truck bed protector that has a relatively water-impenetrable cover fixed to a spring-loaded, continuously biased, roller that is rotatably mounted in a housing. The housing is mounted to the pickup truck bed with locking brackets to ensure that the truck bed protector cannot be removed without a key. Extensions are also provided for the cover that can be easily attached to the cover to allow the cover to fit over objects of different shapes and sizes.
