DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows a plurality of arch-shaped rod-shaped or pipe-shaped bridges which are bridged between left and right side plates 1, 1 (only one is shown in the figure) constituting a cargo bed of a vehicle. Protective members 3 fitted to the metal members 2 (only the left and right sides are shown in the figure, but actually attached to both the left and right sides) are shown. After covering the cloth or vinyl hood 4 as shown in the figure with the protective members 3 fitted in this way, pull both ends (one end in the figure) of the hood 4 downward as indicated by arrows in the figure. The hood 4 is stretched by means of a rope and fixed with a rope or the like. Then, by stretching the top 4, the inner surface of the top 4 and the outer surface 3 a of the protection member 3 are brought into surface contact with each other,
The top 4 does not stretch or break locally.

The protective members 3 are made of a synthetic resin, and as shown in FIGS.
A large number of trapezoidal swelling portions 3B swelling on the back surface of the plate-like portion 3A having a are formed at predetermined intervals, and fitted to each of the swelling portions 3B along the longitudinal direction of the metal material 2. A pair of fitting portions 5 and 6 having two kinds of sizes of a semicircular shape (see FIG. 4B) in a plan view are formed. Large diameter (actually 18 m
m), one of the two fitting portions 6, 6
Are arranged at one end in a direction perpendicular to the direction of fitting with the metal member 2 and the other is located on the side separated from the one fitting portion 6 from the center in the direction perpendicular to the direction of fitting with the metal material 2. At the same time, the small diameter (actually 1
3 mm), one of the two fitting portions 5, 5 is at the other end in a direction orthogonal to the direction of fitting with the metal material 2, and the other is orthogonal to the direction of fitting with the metal material 2. Are arranged on the sides separated from the one fitting portion 5 from the center in the direction of the movement. Generally, the outer diameter of the metal material 2 is 13 m.
In the embodiment, two types of fitting portions having different diameters are provided because there are two types of fitting portions having different diameters of m and 18 mm. May be provided with three or more types of fitting portions having different diameters. The outer diameter of the metal material 2 is not limited to 13 mm and 18 mm.

Therefore, two kinds of metal materials 2 having different diameters are used.
(Outer diameters of 13 mm and 18 mm) as well as the metal members 2, 2 located at the front and rear ends of the carrier.
By fitting the fitting portion 5 located at the end of the two fitting portions provided on the protection member 3 with respect to the end of the protection member 3 as shown in FIG. It is possible to avoid that a part of the protective member 3 protrudes from the hood 4 when the hood 4 is covered with the hood 4 without greatly protruding to the end. Then, the remaining metal material 2 located in the middle of the cargo bed ...
