COVER, CONTAINER HAVING A COVER, AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING A COVER

The invention relates to a cover for temporarily shielding objects that may be converted from an open state exposing the object to a closed covering state covering the object and vice versa. The invention further relates to a container including such a cover and to an assembly method for such a cover. In order to provide a cover with better handling and reduced footprint, it is proposed that the cover comprises at least two modular interconnectable or interconnected curved screen segments that are at least pairwise movable about a common pivot axis relative to each other when interconnected, wherein the screen segments, in the open state of the cover, are covering each other and, in the covering state of the cover, overlap each other, abut against each other, or are spaced apart from each other such that they form an domed cover. The result is a cover that is adaptable to various purposes and requirements.
