Abstract: A shelter structure for a load deck includes: parallel arches each formed by facing uprights connected together by a cross-member and movable along a guide path between a deployed position of the structure, forming a shelter for the deck, and a more compact folded position releasing at least a portion of the deck; connection elements between the facing uprights of two adjacent arches; and a plurality of spreaders, each connected to an arch by a hinged connection so as to pass from a folded position in which it presses against the arch to a deployed position in which it forms an additional cross-member, and vice versa. The hinge connection, for at least one spreader, is a pivotal connection of the spreader to the arch about an axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cross-member, and a sliding connection of the spreader along an upright of the arch.
