ABSTRACT:
A construction and method for reducing inventory and investment costs. The construction and method allow tonneau covers to be manufactured for a variety of pick-up trucks with standard machines from a common inventory of raw materials. The construction is comprised of thin rectangular panels mounted in tubular frames. The panels and frames are manufactured by cutting and drilling raw materials selected from a common stock of sheets and extruded aluminum tubes. The construction permits completed covers to be sold or as kits with instructions for assembly with common hand tools by ultimate purchasers. The construction and method further provide improvements for installing and removing tonneau covers from pick-up trucks.
