1. A cover arrangement for at least partially covering an opening, wherein the cover arrangement comprises an elongated support member, which is adapted to be arranged adjacent the opening in a recessed configuration in a groove in a wall or roof, wherein the cover arrangement comprises a plate-shaped cover adapted to be connected to the elongated support member in a way that, in a connected state, the plate-shaped cover projects from the elongated support member to at least partially covering the opening, wherein the elongated support member comprises a plate-shaped portion and the plate-shaped cover comprises a plate-shaped portion, and wherein the plate-shaped cover is adapted to be connected to the elongated support member in a way that, in the connected state, a main extension plane of the plate-shaped portion of the plate-shaped cover is substantially perpendicular in relation to a main extension plane of the plate-shaped portion of the elongated support member, and wherein the cover arrangement comprises at least one connection element, wherein the connection element and the elongated support member comprises complimentary shaped first engagement means so that the connection element may be rigidly connected to the elongated support member in an operative state, and wherein the connection element and the plate-shaped cover comprises complimentary shaped pivot means so that the plate-shaped cover may be pivoted between a non-connected state and the connected state in relation to the elongated support member when the connection element is in its operative state in relation to the elongated support member, wherein the pivot means of the connection element comprises a hook-shaped portion, which is adapted to form a pivot axis for the plate-shaped cover, wherein the pivot means of the plate-shaped cover comprises a hook-shaped portion at a free end of the plate-shaped cover and which hooked-shaped portion of the plate-shaped cover is adapted to engage with the hook-shaped portion of the connection element, wherein the connection element comprises a projection which has a curved shape defining a receptacle for an edge section of the plate-shaped cover during connection and disconnection, wherein the receptacle is defined by the projection in one direction and by the plate shaped portion of the elongated support member in another direction, wherein the receptacle is open for receiving the edge section of the plate-shaped cover during connection and disconnection and wherein the hook-shaped portion of the connection element is disposed at a free end of the projection, wherein the hook-shaped portion of the connection element extends into the receptacle.
