    摘要: An embodiment provides a truck cover system that includes a side rail, a cover, and a latching mechanism. The latching mechanisms include a housing attached to the cover, a latch extending through a first end of the housing and configured to engage with a bottom portion of the side rail, a cap attached to a second end of the housing, a plunger attached to the latch and having a first plunger end partially extending through an opening of the cap, an anchor element attached to the first plunger end preventing the first plunger end from entering the housing, and a spring wrapped around the plunger. When the spring is compressed, the latch may disengage with the side rail, and, when the spring is uncompressed, the latch may engage with the side rail.

    摘要: A truck cover system that includes a rail that couples to a truck. The rail includes a rail body with a cover slot that couples to a cover and a wall that extends away from the rail body with alignment indicia. A latch system couples to the rail. The latch system includes a latch housing that includes a tongue aperture. A tongue moves axially within the tongue aperture. A tongue fastener couples to the tongue to secure the tongue to the latch housing. A spring surrounds a portion of the tongue fastener and axially biases the tongue into engagement with the rail. A latch positioner couples to the rail and to the latch housing to enable rotation of the latch housing while the alignment indicia facilitates alignment of the latch positioner on the rail.

    摘要: Novel techniques are provided for implementing a tonneau cover system. A tonneau cover system might include a first side rail configured to be coupled to a side wall of a bed of a truck, a first connection plate attached to and extending from the first side rail, a second connection plate, an extension plate extending from and attached to the second connection plate, and a cover for covering the bed of the truck and coupled to the extension plate. The first connection plate might include a recess on a bottom surface of the first connection plate. The second connection plate might include a first protrusion mirroring the first recess on the first connection plate. The first protrusion of the second connection plate might removably engage with the recess on the bottom surface of the first connection plate to couple the second connection plate to the first connection plate.
