A foldable tonneau cover is disclosed and has two frame sections and at least one hidden-type hinge. Two frame members of two adjacent frame sections are correspondingly formed with two embedded holes. The hidden-type hinge is pivotally connected between the adjacent frame members. When the frame sections are horizontally extended relative to each other, the hidden-type hinge is substantially received in the embedded holes. When the frame sections are rotated or folded relative to each other, the hidden-type hinge is partially exposed out of the embedded holes. Thus, the occupied space of the hidden-type hinge and the gap between the adjacent frame sections can be minimized. The waterproof flexible strip can be continuously extended along the entire length of the two adjacent frame members without being interfered with by the hidden-type hinge substantially hidden within frame members, so as to enhance the waterproof reliability thereof.
A waterproof flexible strip for a foldable tonneau cover for a pick-up truck, the foldable tonneau cover including a first frame section having a plurality of first frame members, a second frame section having a plurality of second frame members, and at least one hidden-type hinge pivotally connected between two opposite side surfaces of the adjacent first and second frame members, the waterproof flexible strip flexibly connected between the adjacent frame members, disposed outside the hidden-type hinge, and comprising:
