  • Patent number: 5401074
    Abstract: A vehicle cover that protects a vehicle from hail and other falling objects and is easily installed, removed, and stored in the trunk of the vehicle. The cover is substantially comprised of a sheet of cloth, several foam runners, and several attaching straps. The foam runners, preferably having a rectangular cross section, attach to the underside of the cloth. When placed on a vehicle, the foam runners support the cloth in a spaced apart relationship with the top of the vehicle. The attaching straps securely attach the cover to the vehicle by attaching to the wheel wells and the front and rear bumpers of the vehicle. The attaching straps hold the cloth in a taut condition so that the cloth remains in a spaced apart relationship with the top of the vehicle. Falling objects, such as hail, are repelled by the taut cloth and damage to the vehicle is prevented. The foam runners and straps are adjustable so that the cover fits a variety of vehicles.
