CANVAS COVER TENSIONER AND TRUCK BODY COVERABLE WITH A CANVAS COVER AND INCORPORATING SUCH CANVAS COVER TENSIONERS

摘要

The profile has an upper impact protection section (7) with a locating face (9) by which the functional profile abuts against the floor assembly (1) of the vehicle or trailer. A flat vertically orientated outer side (11) points away from the floor assembly, and a downwards projecting hook-in member (8) is formed on the impact protection section. The hook-in section, in relation to the outer side of the impact protection section, forms an undercut (15) which follows the longitudinal extent of the functional profile. The surface of the hook-in member pointing away from the undercut is located flush with the plane of the outer side of the impact protection section and its lower extremity (14) is rounded. An independent claim is included for a commercial vehicle in which the lower extremity of a downwards hanging tarpaulin cover (16) locates below the lower extremity of the hook-in member of the functional profile and the hook (17) of a tensioner lies in the undercut.
