This section provides background information related to the present disclosure which is not necessarily prior art.
Trucks such as pickups and trucks having a cargo box can be a popular type of vehicle because the cargo box enables objects of various sizes to be placed therein and transported. The cargo box pickup generally has a floor surface or bed that is bounded by a forward wall, opposing sidewalls and a tailgate providing a rearward wall.
Covers can be used to enclose the cargo box to protect the contents against dirt, debris, and other environmental contaminants, and to improve the aesthetic quality thereof. In some cases, the covers can be formed of generally planar sections or panels hingedly coupled together so they can be folded together in a stacked arrangement to allow access to the cargo box. The stacked panels typically still leave a portion of the cargo box covered.
In some cases the stacked panels can be rotated so the tonneau cover is angled and extends upwardly above the truck box. Prop-rods can be used to retain the stacked panels in their upwardly angled position, but can require multiple steps, including coupling components together, and/or can limit locking options or angular orientations.
