Protective rain cover

USPTO Application #: 20060207698
Title: Protective rain cover
Abstract: When working in crafts such as a gord project for the senior citizens center it was virtually impossible to find and easy way to clean the surface. What I really needed was something abrasive that would fit the shape of the palm of my hand. Sanding gloves but there wasn't any. So I tried making some out of a kitchen cleaning glove with stick on sand paper, its was to hot and the sand paper lacked flexibility and would not stay on. So I tried a nit cotton/polyester glove with a layer of silicon and fine sanding grit, similar to what you would use in a sandblaster, imbedded in it and this worked much better. It breathed and was flexible. I could find the glove in all sizes also. I found that the area from the tip of my thumb to the tip of my index finger was really good for sanding circular or round things such as the gourd neck or table legs. I also found that putting the same things on out on the bottoms of the finger area was quite useful for small areas or groves. My father who has always worked on old cars thought it worked pretty good for that also. Some times though he found he needed a heavier grit, this prompted the fine medium and course. The application for the glove was really a wide area. After finding that the sanding glove worked I needed to patent this. (end of abstract)

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] This invention relates to the protection of Leather Briefcase and other luggage that may be carried or pulled and preventing damage to them from rain or other types of damage from the elements.

DESCRIPTION

[0002] Cover to be used for briefcases, laptop cases, backpacks and pull luggage. The exact size would depend on the specific application. The cover is made of light to heavy weight waterproof vinyl. The vinyl is clear, solid or opaque. Perforated pop out opening is present on top for handle. Opening on each side for strap attachment. Each pattern may be cut from one sheet and heat sealed on all seams. Patterns may very do to type of case being protected. The use of single sheets will aid in simplifying production and assembly. The product is made in a disposable and a long-term accessory version. The disposable is of a lighter weight vinyl than the accessory one and would cost less to the consumer and manufacturer. Both versions come in package that can be attached to the handle of the case it is protecting.

Discovery-Protective Raincover

[0003] I chose laptop to use as the base for my sample protective cover. Taking measurements height, depth and width. These measurements will vary with item to be protected. Laptop case, briefcase or backpacks.

[0004] Adding one inch to each seam and flap. In the sample case--I used glue--but in mass production a heat seal would be used. This will also add strength.

[0005] The first sample I made out of 100% Plastic Vinyl 8 gauge-this was stiff and hard to work with. It also would cling and stick to itself and did not look neat when folded and not in use.

[0006] Then I used a 100% Frosted clear vinyl 4 gauge, this was easier to use and did not cling to itself and folded up neatly and unfolded to be used again and again.
