Abstract
A multiple panel closure for the bed of a pickup truck or for the front opening of a cabinet housing electrical equipment. The closure permits any one of four panels to be opened independently of the other panels and the panels can be moved to side positions in which the truck bed and the cabinet opening, respectively, can be exposed. A double hinge provides for the movement of closure panels from closed, coplanar positions to fully open, side positions. Access to the interior of the truck bed or cabinet can be had from the sides of the truck bed and at the sides of the front opening of the cabinet.
