ABSTRACT:
A two-position collapsible canopy assembly (10) is designed to be attached to the side rails (15) of a pickup truck (11). The assembly basically consists of a fore hard shell (12) that attaches to the rear of the truck cab, an aft hard shell (14), and a flexible canopy (16) therebetween that is supported by a plurality of ribs (22). The aft hard shell (14) and the ribs (22) are slidably disposed upon a pair of tracks (64) that are supported on the truck's side rails (15). The assembly (10) may be placed in a fully extended position or in a retracted position. When in the retracted position a security mid-gate (70) and mid-gate liner (72) may be attached below the aft hard shell (14) that provides a secure enclosed area into which items may be stowed. The mid-gate liner (72) affixed to the top of the corrugated truck bed deck (21) within the enclosed area allows the stowed items to remain dry in the event of inclement weather.
