Claim 11:
12. The cover system of claim 11, wherein the brace body further defines a guide supporting the keeper of the lock mechanism for movement between the locked state and the unlocked state;
wherein the cover further includes a link operatively attached the receiver for concurrent movement about the receiver axis, the link defining a pivot mount;
wherein the keeper of the lock mechanism is pivotably coupled to the pivot mount such that pivoting movement of the receiver from the first receiver position to the second receiver position about the receiver axis translates into sliding movement of the keeper from the locked state to the unlocked state;
wherein the restrictor defines a catch face; and
wherein the keeper defines a retention face arranged to contact the catch face of the restrictor in the locked state to inhibit movement of the restrictor relative to the brace in the locked state.
