  The main result of this work is the characterization of the covering
relations of the Bruhat order of the maximal parabolic quotients of type B. Our
approach is mainly combinatorial and is based in the pattern of the
corresponding permutations also called signed $k$-Grassmannians permutations.
We obtain that a covering relation can be classified in four different pairs of
permutations. This answers a question raised by Ikeda and Matsumura providing a
nice combinatorial model for maximal parabolic quotients of type B.
