  • Publication number: 20240198771
    Abstract: Particular embodiments may provide a cover for a vehicle. The cover includes, in some embodiments, rectangular panels, each panel having a long edge, a short edge, and a guide. In some embodiments, the rectangular panels are coupled to one another at the long edges of the rectangular panels and are movable between a planar configuration and a stacked configuration. In the planar configuration, the rectangular panels may be positioned in a single plane and overlap an area corresponding to an open cargo volume of the vehicle. In the stacked configuration, the rectangular panels may be stacked together in parallel planes. In some embodiments, the guides travel in a track of the vehicle when the rectangular panels are moved between the planar configuration and the stacked configuration.
