Patent number: 12259214Abstract: A cover for a long firearm has excess fabric in sidewalls of the cover body and has a long scope pocket attached at the top edge of the cover body with an open passage into the scope pocket. An elastic loop encircles the open passage to an exit point where opposite cord ends of the loop extend into a size adjuster where the ends are engaged in a selective cord lock that fixes the degree of applied tension in the loop. From the cord lock, the cord ends pass through different passages of a support panel separated by a divider. The cord ends then are received and united in a pull tab, where any interaction between the tab and the divider prevents backward extraction of the cord ends from the support panel. The elastic cord is supported against dangling below the cover body.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2024Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Inventor: Ted Raymond Ramirez
