ABSTRACT:
A semicylindrical cover for a table, especially an outdoor picnic table, that may be placed over food and drink that is left on the table, for protecting the food and liquid refreshment while a family or other group temporarily leaves the table unattended. The cover will protect the food and drink from the heat of the sun, wind, rain, falling leaves, bird droppings, insects or other pests. The invention includes a rectangular main portion that is made of a flexible waterproof material. The main portion is supported over the table by rigid, semicircular ribs which maintain the main portion in a curved shape. Semicircular end portions are attached to the opposite ends of the main portion for protection at the ends of the picnic table. After positioning, the ends of clamps are passed through pairs of holes provided in the cover to clamp each side portion of the cover between a clamping member and a side of the picnic table.
