ABSTRACT:
A snowmobile cover with first and second receptacles for trapping water, snow, ice and dirt. The first receptacle is the cover as a whole wherein the cover forms a bowl like shape via an elastic cord housed in an endless sheath formed by and about the perimeter of the cover. As the cover is taken off the snowmobile, the cover is turned inside out, forming the bowl shape for containing the water, snow, ice and dirt. A second receptacle is a built in carrying bag for the receptacle. The cover (whether or not turned inside out) is rolled up into a bundle and the bundle is tucked inside of the bag for storage. If desired, water, snow, ice and dirt on the outside of the cover (or on the inside of the cover turned inside out) is also rolled up with the cover and retained within the built in bag. At a convenient location, instead of in the snowmobile trailer or in the garage, or when the snowmobiler has more time or is at a warmer location, the cover may be unraveled and turned right side out and shaken to clean the cover of melted snow and dirt. The cover further has a relatively large opening for the handlebars of the snowmobile to permit unrestricted access to the gas tank, controls and compartments. The cover further is tailored to fit the lines of a snowmobile by the inclusion of a relatively snug fit for the front of the machine, a relatively snug fit for the rear of the machine, and a tent like fit for the middle of the machine having protruding handlebars and windshield, where the tent like portion is later pinched down by a bungee cord.
