Abstract: A self-deploying and self-retracting automobile cover system. The system including an actuator mechanism, a housing unit and a cover. The actuator mechanism controls the operation of the cover, wherein the actuator mechanism triggers the automatic deployment of the cover such that the cover expands outward from the housing unit and triggers the automatic retraction of the cover such that the cover collapses into the housing unit. Upon deployment, the deployed cover is configurable to operate as a touchless cover such that each shield member of the pair of coverlets is void of any physical contact with the automobile or is configurable to operate as a touch cover such that each shield member of the pair of coverlets is in physical contact with the automobile.

Abstract: A self-deploying and self-retracting automobile cover system. The system including an actuator mechanism, a housing unit and a cover. The actuator mechanism controls the operation of the cover, wherein the actuator mechanism triggers the automatic deployment of the cover such that the cover expands outward from the housing unit and triggers the automatic retraction of the cover such that the cover collapses into the housing unit. The housing unit includes a mounting element for mounting the cover to the housing unit and it includes an enclosure for storing the cover in a retracted position. The cover contains a pair of coverlets, each coverlet includes a shield member and a frame. The shield member is encompassed within the frame and includes a plurality of sectioned regions. The frame has a collapsible structure and includes a plurality of arm frame members, a plurality of joints, and a spinal frame member.
