Abstract: A covered vehicle container body defining end walls and a flexible cover as an uncovering device, including a dependent framework supported by the end walls over which the flexible cover extends and is supported. The framework has a lower free end and an upper pivoted portion, pivotally mounted on the end walls, plus operating means for upwardly pivotally moving the framework about the pivot axis of the pivoted portion. Accordingly, the free end effects folding of the flexible cover and uncovering of one side of the body.
Abstract: A covering device for an open topped vehicle container, the covering device being movable laterally of the container to one side to uncover the open top, the cover being preferably flexible and anchored along said side of the container so that the cover folds as the device uncovers the open top. In the preferred embodiment, the device has two pivoted parts which fold together as the device uncovers the open top.
