Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de bâche rétractible pour un conteneur ouvert tel qu'une benne (11) de camion ou de remorque. Ce système comporte une bâche (40), une pluralité d'arceaux (31) auxquels est fixée la bâche, un câble sans fin (53) destiné à déplacer et guider les arceaux, ce câble passant à travers chaque arceau qu'il guide, et les extrémités des arceaux coulissant le long des sommets (19) des côtés (14, 15) du conteneur; une poulie d'enroulement (52) permettant de déplacer le câble (53) et ainsi de déplacer également la bâche (40) sur le dessus ouvert du conteneur; et une pluralité de poulies de support (44, 45, 46, 47, 48) pour supporter le câble, de telle manière que lors de l'actionnement de la poulie d'enroulement (52) en vue d'actionner le câble, la bâche est déployée ou rétractée sur le dessus ouvert du conteneur. Ce système peut également comporter un support (56) le long duquel la poulie d'enroulement est positionnée de manière coulissante pour réguler la tension du câble. La bâche peut également être segmentée, afin que les segments individuels puissent être aisément démontés et remplacés, ou bien que la bâche puisse être rallongée ou raccourcie à loisir.
