Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A vehicle cover system includes a cover member which covers the open top of the vehicle body. The cover member is mounted on a frame extending longitudinally down each side of the body. The central portion of the cover member is mounted to the body. Each frame is pivoted to the body along a hinge axis which is offset from and parallel to the center line of the cover member so that there is selective access to the interior of the body along each side when the cover is pivoted to its open position. The body is closed when the cover is pivoted to its closed position. The cover and its frame are moved to and from the open position by a handle. Resilient members are provided which react against the frame to urge the frame to the open position once the handle is actuated.
