A tonneau cover system includes a plurality of panels coupled to first and second side rails. The panels include a first panel, a second panel, a third panel, and a spacer bar with the spacer bar fixed to the side rails. The first panel pivots relative to the spacer while the spacer remains fixed to the side rails. The third panel pivots relative to the second panel to permit the third panel to be located over the second panel while the spacer remains fixed to the side rails to define an intermediate folded position. The cover further includes a hinge assembly mounted between the second panel and the spacer to enable the second and third panels to pivot relative to the spacer as a unit from the intermediate position to a final position located at least over the spacer bar while the spacer bar remains fixed to the side rails.

A tonneau cover apparatus comprises a plurality of panels and a hinge mounted to adjacent panels to enable one of the adjacent panels to pivot relative to another of the adjacent panels. The hinge has a body, a first securing member, a second securing member, and a plurality of barbs. The body is formed of an elastomeric material and has first and second portions extending outwardly. The first securing member is integral with and extending from the first portion and is engaged with one of the adjacent panels. The second securing member is integral with and extends from the second portion and is engaged with another of the adjacent panels. The barbs extend from the first portion, the second portion, or both. The barbs engage the adjacent panels to form a seal between the body and the adjacent panels. At least one barb has a barb body with a round configuration and a tip extending from the barb body

A coil type vehicle hood, comprising a vehicle hood support and hood cloth. The vehicle hood support comprises a left frame (1), a right frame (2), a front lever (3) and a back lever (4), and a slide way (11), an adjusting base (12), an adjusting screw rod (13), an adjusting knob (14) and a back lever clamping seat (15) are disposed at the lower part of the inner side of the left frame (1); the adjusting base (12) is fixed to the inner side of the left frame (1), and cannot be moved; the adjusting knob (14) is disposed on the adjusting base (12), the adjusting screw rod (13) penetrates through the adjusting base (12) and the adjusting knob (14), and the tail part of the adjusting screw rod (13) is clamped and fixed in a groove of the back lever clamping seat (15); the back lever clamping seat (15) is of a separable structure, an upper part and a lower part are fixed to the slide way (11), and when the adjusting knob (14) is rotated, the adjusting screw rod (13) shifts, and drives the back lever clamping seat (15) to slide in the slide way (11); and the right frame (12) and the left frame (11) are symmetrically disposed. The vehicle hood is easy to carry and store, and convenient to use. Hood cloth can be tightened and loosened by designing a back lever clamping seat to be movable. A sealing structure achieves a rainproof function, and reduces the abrasion between a vehicle carriage and the vehicle hood.

A tonneau cover system for a vehicle having a cargo box (22) includes a striker which is adapted to be fixed to the cargo box (22) along with a cover disposed over and adapted to the cargo box (22) when the cover is in a closed position (36). Moreover, the cover includes a rigid frame and a latch which is mounted to the frame. The latch engages the striker when the cover is in the closed position (36) which defines a locked position of the latch. The cover further includes a link which extends from the latch along the frame and a handle coupled to the latch in order to move the latch into a released position which disengages the striker. Finally, the cover includes a coupler which is disposed about the link and coupled to the handle. The coupler moves from a first position to a second position and responds to movement of the handle with the link moving relative to the frame in order to facilitate movement of the latch into the released position.
