Abstract

A motor vehicle including a rear bumper and a front bumper, and a protective tarpaulin system having a flexible tarpaulin for covering the vehicle and a rear shaft that is installed at the rear bumper, the tarpaulin being windable around the rear shaft. The vehicle is fitted with two longitudinal sheaths a longitudinal slot, a slider being received in each longitudinal sheath and being connected via a traction cable both to a front shaft and to a rear shaft, so that rotating the shafts causes the traction cable to be wound and unwound, thereby moving the slider in the longitudinal sheath, which slider entrains the tarpaulin that is connected to the slider.

Abstract

A motor vehicle comprising a rear bumper (R) and a front bumper and a protective covering system comprising a flexible cover (1) intended to cover the vehicle and a rear shaft (2) installed at the rear bumper (R), the cover (1) being able to be wound around this rear shaft (2), characterised in that the vehicle (V) is equipped with two longitudinal sheaths (42) a longitudinal slot, a slider (4) being received in each longitudinal sheath (42) and linked by a traction cable (41) to both a front shaft and the rear shaft (2), such that the rotation of the shafts causes the traction cable (41) to be wound up/unwound, thus moving the slider (4) in the longitudinal sheath (42), said slider (4) pulling the cover (1) linked to the slider (4).
