ABSTRACT:
A cover which may be removably installed over a vehicle including a shroud mounted on an umbrella-like frame which fits in close relationship to a vehicle to be covered. The frame may include a plurality of supports or ribs extending outwardly from a central hub and downwardly so as to generally encompass a vehicle which may be covered. An extensible means may be provided to join some or all of the support ribs about the lower ends thereof in order to firmly hold the cover in place. An articulated lever-like handle may be mounted on the hub. The lever may be locked so that its sections are in linear relationship, thereby facilitating lifting one cover over a car during installation or removal. A slidable latch is illustrated for locking the lever in its linear configuration. A spring biases the articulated sections of the lever into the linear relationship. When the cover is in place and it is desired to prohibit removal, the sections of the lever may be moved relative to one another and the outer end thereof locked to the lower end of one of the support ribs.
