Publication number: 20200215888Abstract: The inflatable vehicle cover is consisted of multiple layers of air pads to protect vehicle body from hail damage. The air pads are stacked over vehicle body. The non-return valve connects each adjacent air pad. Each air pad is self-contained after inflation. Even if the outer layer air pad is damaged by the hailstone, the inner layer air pad still can keep the air fluid to protect the vehicle from subsequent falling hailstones. The inflatable vehicle cover also provides a resealable gate near vehicle driver door. User can access the vehicle to connect or disconnect portable air pump to vehicle power outlet.
