Benefits of technology

[0004] It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a reusable weather resistant cover that can be securely attached to an object and can easily be stored and identified.

Problems solved by technology

Many conventional covers, however, are not designed to withstand severe weather conditions.
For example, some conventional covers are not made from a sufficiently weather resistant material and easily become ripped or mildewed.
Other conventional covers are not designed so that they can be adequately secured to the object they are meant to hide and / or protect.
When these covers are exposed to wind or other inclement weather, the covers either shift or become completely loose from the object.
Many conventional covers, however, either do not come with a storage pouch or the storage pouch is separate from the cover.
Because most covers are used for extended periods of time, such as, an entire season, the storage pouch often becomes displaced while the cover is in use.
Without a storage pouch, it is difficult to protectively store the cover, especially since most covers are bulky and difficult to handle.

first embodiment

[0022]FIGS. 1-4 show a reusable weather protective cover 1. FIG. 1 shows a first side 4 of the reusable weather protective cover 1, and FIG. 2 shows a second side 5 of the reusable weather protective cover 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the reusable weather protective cover 1 includes a sleeve 2 and a storage pouch 3. The sleeve 2 may be formed, for example, from a single sheet 6 of a weather resistant material, such as nylon, or any other weather and / or mildew resistant material. Alternatively, the sheet 6 may be formed from multiple pieces of the weather resistant material, which are sewn or otherwise attached to form the sleeve 2. The sheet 6 has a size and dimension corresponding to its desired use. Although in the illustrated embodiment, the sleeve 2 is illustrated as having a substantially oval shape, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the sleeve 2 may be any desired shape, for example, the sleeve may be triangular, rectangular, square, round, etc. A pocket (not s...

third embodiment

[0033]FIGS. 10-11 show a reusable weather protective cover 50. As shown in FIG. 10, the reusable weather protective cover 50 includes a sleeve 51. The sleeve 51 may be formed, for example, from a single sheet 52 of a weather resistant material, such as nylon, or any other weather and / or mildew resistant material. Alternatively, the sheet 52 may be formed from multiple pieces of the weather resistant material, which are sewn or otherwise attached to form the sleeve 51. The sheet 52 has a size and dimension corresponding to its desired use. Although in the illustrated embodiment, the sleeve 51 is illustrated as having a substantially oval shape, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the sleeve 51 may be any desired shape, for example, the sleeve may be triangular, rectangular, square, round, etc. A pocket (not shown) is formed around edges 53 of the sheet 52. The pocket (not shown) receives an elastic cord 54. The edges 53 are gathered by the elastic cord 54 to form ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a reusable weather protective cover comprising a sleeve, a fastener, and a storage pouch. The sleeve is formed from a single sheet of weather resistant material. Edges of the sleeve are gathered by an elastic cord to form a gathered opening. The fastener is attached to the sleeve such that the fastener extends across the gathered opening. The storage pouch extends from the sleeve and has a sleeve receiving space for storing the sleeve.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The invention relates to a reusable weather protective cover and, more particularly, to a reusable weather protective cover including a sleeve with a gathered opening that is integrally formed with a storage pouch. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] It is desirable to cover an object that is used outdoors when the object is not in use to protect the object from exposure to weather and / or hide the object from view. Many conventional covers, however, are not designed to withstand severe weather conditions. For example, some conventional covers are not made from a sufficiently weather resistant material and easily become ripped or mildewed. Other conventional covers are not designed so that they can be adequately secured to the object they are meant to hide and / or protect. For example, some conventional covers merely slip over the object or are only provided with tie strings for securing the cover to the object. When these covers are exposed to wind or oth...
