Tonneau cover for car

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE: To apply a tonneau cover for multiple purposes, as a shelf by giving the cover some tension when a back door is closed, as a flexible baggage cover when it is opened and as a flat cover when a high or long baggage is loaded. CONSTITUTION: When a back door 4 is opened the rear end of a tonneau cover 10 is drawn by the idle end 18b of a tension arm 18 pulled by a spring, a lower closet 6 is opened and a baggage L can be put in or out. If the rear projection end 16a of the tonneau cover 10 is removed from a locking groove 20, the tonneau cover 10 recovers its proper flexibility and as a result can cover the baggage L, even if it is high. If a seat back 1 is let to fall forward when it lies on a level with the tight tonneau cover a long baggage can be loaded and baggages be taken into or out of the inside of the car.
