Abstract
The invention relates to a tarpaulin structure for a substructure, such as a lorry, trailer, semi-trailer, railway car, dump truck or container, comprising a covering frame and a tarpaulin consisting of weather-resistant material, wherein the covering frame has a plurality of struts () which each have on the end sides thereof a carriage () that is displaceable along a guide (), wherein at least one bow () is pivotally connected at each pair of opposed carriages (), said bow forming with a bow () of an adjacent carriage pair () a tarpaulin folding aid, the bows () of the tarpaulin folding aid being connected to each other. A tarpaulin structure that allows a reliable covering of a substructure while having a low intrinsic weight is achieved according to the invention in that the connected bows () comprise a pivot angle limiter () that allows only a limited pivoting of the bows ().
