  • Protective cover retention assembly
    Patent number: 8746301
    Abstract: A disclosed protective cover assembly includes features that maintain a suction cup in a desired orientation such that a release tab remains accessible and includes features that aid in positioning and that prevent errant premature release. The disclosed protective panel assembly includes an improved suction cup that provides for limited contact during positioning of the panel. Further, the assembly includes the clip that holds the suction cup in place while also protecting the release tab. The protective cover includes pad and cushion that pulls on the button of the suction cup to generate a vacuum within a desired range that does not affect the surface finish while generating a sufficient holding force.
