  • Patent number: 4134616
    Abstract: A rectangular, coarse-weave blanket is folded upon itself at one edge to form a pocket, which is sewn into that position at the ends and, optionally, at intermediate locations. A long tube of leather, or other flexible material, is fastened at one side to the underside of the pocket, and is to be arranged along the front edge of an automobile seat. This forms a scabbard for storing a hunting gun. Two slits, one on each edge of opposite sides of the blanket, divide it into a cover for the seat cushion and a cover for the back cushion. Each slit is reinforced with decorative piping that forms a pair of loops at the outer corners of each slit. The same kind of piping is sewn to the edge of the pocket and extends beyond it at each end for fastening the blanket to structural members of an automotive vehicle seat and for forming corners therein.
