Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
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 other inclement weather, the covers either shift or become completely loose from the object. [0003] It is also desirable to protectively store the cover when the cover is not in use. 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. Additionally, the covers that come with a storage pouch do not indicate the size or type of cover that is stored inside. If a user has multiple covers that are each contained in separate storage pouches, it is therefore necessary to remove every cover from their respective storage pouch to determine which cover you need for a particular use. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [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. [0005] This and other objects are achieved by 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 sheet 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. [0006] This and other objects are further achieved by a reusable weather protective cover comprising a sleeve and a cord adjustment device. The sleeve is formed from a sheet of weather resistant material. Edges of the sheet are gathered by an elastic cord to form a gathered opening. The cord adjustment device is arranged on ends of the elastic cord. The elastic cord advances through the cord adjustment device to adjust the size or elasticity of the gathered opening. The reusable weather protective cover may also include at least one fastener that extends across the gathered opening and/or a storage pouch integrally formed with the sleeve that has a sleeve receiving space for storing the sleeve. [0007] This and other objects are still further achieved by a reusable weather protective cover comprising a sleeve and a storage pouch. The sleeve is formed from a sheet of weather resistant material. The sleeve has a handle extending from a first side thereof. A storage pouch extends from the sleeve. The storage pouch has a sleeve receiving space for storing the sleeve.
