Cover, Canopy, Or Top (21) Patents (Class D12/401)
  • Patent number: 6796263
    Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for a watercraft cover and trailer. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the watercraft cover includes a top cover and a bottom cover, which mate to enclose a watercraft. The top and bottom covers are connected via a gooseneck gas-actuated style hinge for easy opening and closing of the watercraft cover. Adjustable runner boards mounted to the bottom cover allow for easy entry and exit of the watercraft into and out of the watercraft cover. A ring and strap system allow the watercraft to be secured in the watercraft cover, so that transport is possible. Angled flanges on the top and bottom covers provide for easy entry and exit of the watercraft into and out of the watercraft cover and substantially prevent vibration of the watercraft cover. A hole in the bottom cover allows for access to the watercraft even when the watercraft cover is closed and/or locked.
