This invention is relevant to automotive spare parts, especially a new embedded support structure.
The pick-up truck (also known as a sedan truck) is used for carrying goods. Since the pick-up truck's cargo hopper is open, a cover was invented to prevent the goods inside the cargo hopper from getting wet in the rain and snow, by installing the cover on the pick-up truck's cargo hopper and using the cover to cover the goods inside the hopper to prevent the goods inside the hopper from getting wet in the rain.
Most of the existing rigid car covers are opened by folding, with the last plate of the cover unable to rotate, which is not very convenient for the innermost goods in the process of use, and there are also some rigid car covers where the last plate that can be rotated by about 90°, enabling the whole cover to stand up and then be supported by the support bar, which is similar to the support of the front bonnet of a car, with only one support point for the support bar, which can easily cause personal injury if the connection is unstable or slips off.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a new embedded support structure for conventional support structures, which utilises double point supports to improve the safety of the use of the car cover.
In order to solve the above problems of the existing technology, the technical solution adopted in the invention is as follows:
