  • Patent number: 8757699
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a raisable canopy system for a truck having a rear box with a first wall and a second wall opposite the first wall. A pair of actuator mounts are mounted to the first wall and the second wall, respectively. A canopy mount is connected to the pair of actuator mounts, is disposed adjacent to one end of the box and extends upwards from the box. A canopy substantially extends over top of the box and pivotally connects to the canopy mount. A pair of actuators are pivotally connected to and extend outwards from the pair of actuator mounts, respectively. The pair of actuators each pivotally connect to the canopy. The pair of actuators are configured to selectively move the canopy from a closed position in which the canopy covers and abuts the box to an open position in which the canopy is angularly spaced-apart from the box.
