Abstract:
An opening is formed into the generally flat roof of a vehicle, and a hollow frame matches to the top of that opening. Overlying the frame is a generally flat panel of matching size and shape therewith, with the panel being hingedly secured along one edge to the corresponding portion of the frame. An adjustable connection exists between another portion of the panel and the frame to swing the panel between a first position in which the panel is latched, enclosing the opening, and a second position in which the panel is tilted upwardly away from the roof. At least one or two display devices are in the form of a comparatively shallow box which may lie with a major surface substantially against the upper surface of the panel so as to visually present a shallow profile. The device is hinged at one margin to the panel, and the panel carries a handle operable from within the interior of the vehicle for swinging the device between storage and upright positions. Included on the panel are a partially encircling rib for concealment purposes, a ridge for combatting freezing conditions and various other details which may be desirable.
