Abstract
A surface-knot is a closed oriented surface smoothly embedded in 4-space and a surface-knot diagram is a projected image of a surface-knot under the orthogonal projection in 3-space with crossing information. Every surface-knot diagram induces a rectangular-cell complex. In this paper, we introduce a covering diagram over a surface-knot diagram. the covering map induces a covering of the rectangular-cell complexes. As an application, a lower bound of triple point numbers for a family of surface-knots is obtained.
