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.

Abstract: The apparatus of the invention, when closed, serves to fully close and cover the bed of a pick-up truck. In a preferred embodiment, it incorporates four sections, the first of which is permanently affixed to the bed adjacent to the cab of the pick-up. A second section of the apparatus connects to the first by means of a hinge coupled to the two sections on their top surfaces, along their facing edges. A third section of the apparatus similarly connects to the second section, by means of a hinge coupled to the two on their top surfaces, likewise along their facing edges. The fourth section of the apparatus connects to the third section, again along their facing edges, but this time by means of a hinge coupled to the two sections on their underside surfaces, with the fourth section being releasably secured to the bed at its rear end.
