ABSTRACT:
An inflatable vehicle cover especially adapted to cover cars and trucks being moved in transit comprises at least one inflatable cell of flexible air-confining material that substantially conforms to the configuration of such vehicles, and has inflating means therein and means for securing said cover to said vehicles. Each inflatable cell is formed by two sheets of air-confining material sealed along their perimeters to form an enclosed space capable of being inflated with air. The inflatable car cover may have sub-cells formed by pressure-seaming of one large cell; or it may have more than one cell suitably joined together. The deflated cover is placed over the vehicle in such manner that all exterior surfaces are covered; the cover is then secured about the vehicle by either an elasticized circumference or perimeter-engaging straps; and the cover is then inflated prior to transit. Upon arrival of the vehicle at its destination the cover is deflated, removed and rolled up; it is then available for reuse.
