Protective structure blanket covering a structure and anchored to the ground

Abstract

A device for protecting a structure, vehicles, persons and any other important items, against damage from high winds and rain associated with hurricanes. A wind impermeable / rain resistant sectional blanket made of Kevlar or similar material with the same attributes. The blanket is assembled to make one continuous shelter that lays over the structure and is anchored to the ground at multiple locations. This blanket utilizes wind / rain deflection and with the tailored blanket to achieve the protection needed. The strength of the material will help deflect against windward objects. As wind strikes the blanket, the wind is deflected up or to the side of the protected area regardless of direction. The structure or protected item only supports the blanket and does not come in contact with the wind or rain. Rain is repelled and deposited on the ground a distance away from the protected item.

[0006] Not Applicable BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0007] This apparatus relates to the protection of a structure, vehicle, livestock, persons or any other items against the forces of wind and rain and does so by the use of the existing structure or the temporary erection of a designed structure for deployment of the apparatus. This invention while at fist appears similar to that of U.S. Pat. No. 5,791,090 (Gitlin, Harris M.)—has significant differences in the concept to achieve the goal. This invention works on the premises of deflecti...
