ABSTRACT:
A telescopic cover which relieves impact caused when a cover member is stopped moving and which is less meandering. A braking mechanism is provided between one of two adjacent cover members of the telescopic cover and the other of the two adjacent cover members which telescopically moves into and out of the one cover member. The braking mechanism is provided at a distal end portion of the one cover member, and has an elastic member that presses a slide member against the other cover member. When the other cover member moves relatively to the one cover member, a friction force generated by a pressing force of the slide member serves to brake the movement of the other cover member, whereby impact caused when the other cover member stops moving is relieved. The cover member in motion is always pressed by the slide member with an orientation thereof maintained.
