ABSTRACT:
A protective cover apparatus for an automobile (30) includes a cover (11) covering-passenger compartment (32) of the automobile (30), a semi-pliable metal hook (17) linked to a handhold (13) on the cover (11) by a cord(16) for securing the cover (11) to the front of the automobile (30), a storage pouch (18) for storing the the cover (11) and an adjustable belt (19) fixed to the storage pouch (18) for securing the pouch (18) and the cover (11) to the trunk (34) of the automobile (30). In a second arrangement, the front end of the cover (11) is secured to the windshield (35) by suction pads (55) under the handhold (13). The storage pouch (18) is replaced by a pair of tie-down straps (50) and a roll-up sheet (51). The tie-down straps (50) tie the folded cover (11) to the roll-up sheet (51) before the roll-up sheet (51) wraps up the cover (11) for storage. Both arrangements are similiar in operation but have different advantages in manufacturing. The first arrangement is capable of fitting automobiles (30) of different sizes or styles with one single size while the second arrangement requires specific sizing to fit.
