Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate gaps between both side end parts of a tonneau cover and the inner plates of a body so as to improve appearance and lock both end parts in the condition of receiving tension so as to eliminate fluttering by constituting at least one part of a sheet-like tonneau cover out of flexible cloth material having flexibility in the direction in parallel to a winding roller axis. CONSTITUTION:When the holding bar 7 of a tonneau cover 1 is drawn out from the inlet of a winding roller 2, anchor tools 5 provided on both the end parts of the tonneau cover 1 are advanced in guide rails 4, and locked on a little this side of the parts where the guide rails 4 are curved on the body inner plate 14 side. When they are further advanced, because the distance between the two guide rails 4 are enlarged, flexible cloth 6 provided on both side is expanded. Thereafter, because the distance between the two guide rails 4 is narrowed along the inner plates 14 of the body, the flexible cloth material 6 is contracted and reaches the terminal end while keeping fixed tension, the holding bar 7 is hung on the locking tools 3, and the tonneau cover 1 is projected out in the condition receiving uniform tension.
