Description

Tonneau Cover for Loading Space of Pick-Up Trucks The present invention relates to a toner cover for a pickup truck cargo space, and more specifically, to a toner cover for a pickup truck cargo space that increases the bonding strength between a plurality of cover elements and effectively blocks the ingress of foreign substances. Generally, a pickup truck's cargo space is formed by side parts provided on the left and right sides of the rear of the vehicle body, a tailgate part provided at the rear of the vehicle body, and a floor part defining the floor surface. In this case, items are loaded into the cargo space of the pickup truck, and the top is opened or closed with a cover or a tonnage cover. At this time, the toner cover is typically installed on one side of the pickup truck's cargo space and configured to allow the toner cover to be wound or extracted on a winding shaft inside the housing. In addition, the toner cover is equipped with multiple cover elements arranged and connected in parallel so that they can be wound and unwound. However, conventional toner covers had a problem where the connection between multiple cover elements would become disengaged due to impacts during operation, and a problem where noise was generated due to friction with the guide rail when the toner cover was guided by the guide rail. Conventional technology refers to technical information that the inventor possessed for the derivation of the present invention or acquired during the process of deriving the present invention, and it cannot necessarily be considered publicly known technology disclosed to the general public prior to the filing of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a cargo space expansion device for a pickup truck according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed on a pickup truck. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the state in which the left toner cover in FIG. 1 has been moved to the closed position. FIGS. 3 and FIGS. 4 are schematic perspective views of a cargo space expansion device for a pickup truck shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a portion of the moving part separated from the cargo space expansion device of the pickup truck shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4. FIG. 6 is a partial cross-sectional view of the cargo space expansion device of the pickup truck shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, showing the state in which the left toner cover is in an open position.
