A cover system, for protectively covering a trailer, includes a plurality of stakes, stake-supported panels and stake-retaining pockets. Each pocket includes a base section, adapted to be fixed to the vehicle, and a movable section which moves between open and closed positions of the pocket. The stake-retaining pocket is formed when the movable section is in the closed position. Each stake includes an inner section, and an outer section selectively connectable to the inner section to define a pair of panel-receiving recesses therebetween. The inner stake section is thicker than the outer section, and the outer section includes an intermediate portion for separating the panel-receiving recesses when the stake sections are connected together. Rails may be used above the stakes to hold the panels in place, and a plurality of bows may adjustably or non-adjustably support a tarp above the rails. A trailer incorporating the cover system is also described.
In a cover system for selectively covering a substantially flat support surface on a vehicle including stake-supported panels, a stake-retaining pocket comprising:
A trailer usable for transporting cargo thereon, said trailer including a trailer bed having side edges and a substantially flat upper surface, and a cover system for selectively covering said trailer, said cover system comprising:
A trailer usable for transporting cargo thereon, said trailer including a trailer bed having side edges and a substantially flat upper surface, said side edges of said trailer bed having a plurality of pairs of substantially vertical spaced-apart plates affixed thereto and extending orthogonally outwardly therefrom, each of said plates including a proximal end which is operatively attached to one of the side edges of said trailer bed, and a distal end spaced outwardly from said proximal end, with an open space formed between said distal ends of adjacent plates for receiving a movable pocket section, where each pair of adjacent plates is adapted to cooperate with a movable pocket section to define a stake-receiving pocket.
