  • Car cover deployment and storage system
    Patent number: 5086988
    Abstract: A car cover storage device for allowing easy, quick and convenient storage of a car cover. The car cover storage device of the present invention comprises a container having an opening with a axle disposed within. The axle is rotated by applying pressure on a handle which is connected to the axle. As the handle is rotated, the car cover is easily retracted through the opening to wrap around the axle. The car cover storage device eliminates awkward folding and unfolding of the car cover and allows the car cover to be conveniently stored in the trunk of the car or in some location remote from the car.
