ABSTRACT:
An inflatable vehicle cover is provided for protecting the body of a vehicle from damage from the force of impacting foreign objects. The cover includes a generally rectangular top cover of dimension to substantially cover the upper surface of a vehicle, to which is connected a generally rectangular bottom cover. The connection between the top and bottom covers is around the periphery of the bottom cover, thus forming a fluid-tight chamber. The bottom cover is further connected to the top cover interiorly of the periphery of the bottom cover such that two or more separate fluid-tight chambers may be formed. For introducing fluid into the various chambers, one or more stem valves is provided. Also provided is an apparatus for permitting release of fluid from the chambers, thereby allowing deflation. Finally, apparatus for securing the cover to the body of the vehicle is provided whereby the inflatable vehicle cover may cover and protect the upper surface of a vehicle.
