  • Publication number: 20150130210
    Abstract: A vehicle has a load-carrying structure limited by end and side walls and open at the top. A cover system covers the load-carrying structure in a closed position, and uncovers it in an open position. The cover system has at least one roof segment, swiveled between the closed position and the open position using at least one swivel mechanism having at least one drive shaft, with the roof segment being rigidly attached to the drive shaft. A drive turns the drive shaft, which is rotatably secured to at least two swivel levers that are able to be swiveled on a shared swivel axis, thus moving the drive axis between its position on the upper longitudinal edge of one of the two side walls and a position that is laterally spaced from the side wall, and aligning the shared swivel axis with the upper longitudinal edge of the side walls.
