{Load box folding cover device for pickup vehicle}

The present invention relates to a folding cover device for a loading compartment for a pickup vehicle, and more specifically, to a folding cover device for a loading compartment for a pickup vehicle that is arranged front and rear to cover the open top of the loading compartment and can be rolled up in a roll shape so that the upper part of the loading compartment is open. .

In general, pickup vehicles are small trucks with a small loading compartment at the rear, and recently, recreational vehicles are also equipped with loading compartments to meet the diverse needs of consumers.

Since most of the cargo boxes of these pickup vehicles do not have covers, the cargo must be tied with a rope to prevent it from falling. However, in conventional pickup vehicles, if the cargo is loaded beyond the side plate of the loading box, there is always a risk of it falling during driving, which is a problem that can cause traffic accidents.

To solve this problem, a pickup truck bed cover for covering the bed of a pickup truck is disclosed in Domestic Registered Utility Model Publication No. 20-0300169.

The loading box cover of the pickup truck is mounted on the pickup truck loading box and includes a cover with the lower and rear sides open to form a space of a predetermined height, and a cover-door that is hinged to the open rear upper part of the cover and can be opened and closed by rotating up and down. , It includes fastening means provided at the inner bottom of the front and left and right sides of the cover to prevent the cover from leaving the pickup truck loading box. In addition, the lower part of the cover-door is provided with a locking plate formed integrally with the cover-door so that it can be locked by engaging with the top of the rear door of the pickup truck (not shown). And on one side of the cover-door, a key lock device is installed to keep it in a locked state.

The cargo box cover of a pickup truck as described above is expensive and expensive to install, and the entire cargo space cannot be completely opened. Even if the cargo box is opened as much as possible, the volume of the installed structure cannot be reduced and the rear view of the driver is blocked, making safe driving difficult. There is a problem that hinders it. In addition, the opening and closing itself is inconvenient and requires a lot of force to open and close, making it difficult for women, elderly people, etc. to open and close the loading box.
