ABSTRACT:
A combined storage container or box and cargo bed cover for use in and over the cargo bed of a pickup truck. Three embodiments are disclosed. In the first embodiment all of the foldable panel sections making up the bed cover are connected to each other and also to the container's top. Therein the cargo covers can be folded over each other and the container's top and be lifted up in this folded state to open the connected container top. For the second embodiment, the container's top has two foldable cargo bed cover panels not attached to the container's top thereby permitting their independent opening or closing. The third embodiment consists of a one piece openable cargo bed cover and a separate container top cover which cover is pivoted at one end. Like the second embodiment, both the cargo and container covers may be opened or closed independent of the other. A three sided support frame under the cargo bed cover is joined to the truck's cargo bed sides and bed end opposite its tailgate to form a lower supporting frame for the container top and cargo bed cover in each embodiment. Appropriate locks or fasteners may be used to hold the container's top and cargo bed covers in place to secure their contents to the truck.
