  • Retractable cover apparatus for truck beds
    Patent number: 6053556
    Abstract: A retractable cover apparatus for truck beds comprises a rectangular shaped flexible web having a front end fixed to the shell of a spring powered roll. Brackets fix the roll to either side wall at the forward portion of the bed. The spring is chosen to provide at least the minimum retracting force which provides stability of the cover web without side fasteners. A back fastener secures the cover web to the back of the truck bed. A pull strap attached to the back end of the cover web allows extension and retraction of the cover web by a single operator from the back of the truck.
