ABSTRACT:
Parallel, substantially horizontal, upper first tracks (34) extend lengthwise of a vehicle load bed (14). Parallel, substantially horizontal, second tracks that are below the first tracks (34) also extend lengthwise of the load bed (14). Forward guides (44) carried by cover sections (22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32) travel in the tracks (34) and rear guides (46) travel in the tracks (36). A rear cover section (18) is driven forwardly and rearwardly by a drive mechanism (54, 72, 74, 76). Forward movement of the cover section (18) moves the other movable cover sections (22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32) into a nested position within the forward cover section (20). Movement of the rear cover section (18) in the opposite direction pulls the cover sections (22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32) out from the nested position and spread them out over the length of the load bed (14).
