ABSTRACT:
In a vehicle having a hinged closure member providing access by upward swinging movement to a storage space, there is provided a cover arrangement for the storage space having panels which are connected together by a one-way hinge with one of the panels also connected by a hinge to the closure member and another panel detachably secured by straps to the closure member. The one-way hinge and straps locate the panels in a generally co-planar relationship to permit same to rest on a support ledge and cover the storage space and then on upward swinging movement of the closure member the panels are moved to a position above the storage space while maintained in generally co-planar relationship to permit easy access to the storage space. Detachment of the upper ends of the straps permits the panels to be folded back-to-back and against the closure member whereafter the straps provide for detachable securement of the folded panels to maintain them against the closure member in a stored condition leaving the storage space open.
