ABSTRACT:
A top cover box for vehicles is disclosed, which is lined on its walls and its bottom with covering that has water-repellent properties, and which is provided with an outflow aperture in a low-lying region of the bottom, the covering having a downslope in the bottom region which conducts water to the outflow aperture. In order to achieve a substantial improvement of the structural possibilities in the design of the top cover box bottom, without disadvantages for the removal of water from the top cover box, the covering is combined to form an insert encompassing walls and a bottom, which insert is of dimensionally stable and watertight design, a groove-like recess being formed on the bottom of the insert and having a downslope leading to the outflow aperture. The bottom of the insert comprises a large-format surface region with a downslope extending transversely to the longitudinal extent of the recess and towards the latter.
