    Abstract: Cupped arrangement for holding a fabric-type furniture cover in a use-configuration upon a furniture piece. The cupped arrangement includes an attachment portion defining a trap space. The trap space is configured to releasably engage a portion of a fabric-type furniture cover. An anchor portion is coupled to the attachment portion, the anchor portion having a cupped receiving space adapted to insertibly receive a foot portion of a leg of a furniture piece over which the fabric-type furniture cover is installable. The attachment portion and the anchor portion together establish a cupped receiver that is predominantly constructed from semi-rigid material, preferably plastic, that is form-retaining and that possesses sufficient flexure to accommodate releasable securement of the cupped receiver to a furniture cover.

  • Patent number: 6334399
    Abstract: A fabric table cover assembly including a table cover body having a top portion configured for covering a top of a table and a bottom portion configured to at least partially cover a support portion of the table. The bottom portion of the table cover body is dark colored for forming an opaque skin about the support portion of the table. The top portion of the table cover body is light colored and preferably white, so that light colored overlay fabrics positioned upon the top portion are colorwise unaffected in appearance by the top portion. The top portion and the bottom portion of the table cover body are separate fabric pieces joined together at a seam to form the table cover body. The seam is arranged to be located immediately below a top of the table when installed thereupon and therefore substantially concealed from sight. An overlay table top cover is configured to cover the top portion of the table cover body for presenting a contrasting appearance to the bottom portion of the cover body.

  • Patent number: 6003451
    Abstract: A fabric table cover assembly that includes a table cover body that has a top portion configured for covering a top of a table and a bottom portion configured for covering at least a portion of a supporting legged portion of a table. The bottom portion of the cover body has a lower periphery configured to be anchored at securable locations, one each of those locations to one of a plurality of legs of the table to be covered. The lower periphery has extension portions between adjacent securable locations that are adapted to form upwardly extending arches between adjacent securable locations. In this way feet accommodating access areas are established between adjacent legs of a covered table. The top portion of the table cover body is light colored so that light colored overlay fabrics positioned upon the top portion are colorwise unaffected in appearance by the top portion.
