Benefits of technology
The present invention is a new and improved outdoor cushion sleeve that can be used to increase the durability of existing patent furniture cushions. It can conform to the shape and dimension of the existing cushion and can completely enclose it without removal of its original layers. This makes it easier to care for and maintain existing patent furniture.
Problems solved by technology
These devices, however, do not disclose an additional cover for outdoor cushions including seat, back and ottoman cushions.
The Vanderminden device is also limited in that it can only be used with cushions having a seat and back panel that are attached together.
Thus, Deitz discloses a waterproof outdoor seat cushion, and does not disclose a cushion sleeve that is adapted to enclose an existing cushion therein.
Thus, Sachs does not disclose a cushion sleeve comprising an opening with a pair of flaps that secure a cushion within the interior of the sleeve.
Further, Sachs does not disclose ties that can removably secure the seat cushion to the furniture on which it is placed.
The prior art devices are limited in that they are designed for use with specific types of seat cushions or that they are adapted for covering an entire chair or a similar furniture.
Thus, none of the devices in the prior art are suitable to enclose individual seat cushions to alter the appearance of existing cushions for patio furniture while protecting the same from further wear and tear.
