  • Patent number: 8585120
    Abstract: A tonneau cover system for a cargo box of a pickup truck comprising a plurality of tonneau sections each being pivotally coupled to the other to permit pivotal movement of a first tonneau sections relative to a second tonneau sections between an opened position and a closed position. The tonneau cover system further comprises a side rail member connectable to a side wall of the cargo box, a keeper member downwardly extending from the first tonneau sections for pivotal movement therewith between the opened position and the closed position; and a first keeper pin coupled with the side rail member. The keeper member automatically engages the first keeper pin when the first tonneau section is pivoted into the closed position and automatically disengages the first keeper pin when the first tonneau section is pivoted into the open position.
