ABSTRACT:
A remotely controlled power-assisted vehicle cover is attached to a take-up spool winding and unwinding mechanism which is housed in an eccentric-shaped containment tube, mounted under the front or back bumper areas of a vehicle. The vehicle cover is extracted from the cylindrical cover containment tube and placed over a vehicle by a wand fastened to the l eading edge of the vehicle cover and houses a wireless control system including a remote motor control and a transmitter to send: on/off, single or variable speed, and reversing controls to the drive motor of the cover extracting/retracting mechanism. In addition to controlling the co ver drive motor, the control wand is used to physically guide the protective cover on or off the vehicle. The control wand can easily be operated with one hand and enables precise control of the power-assisted application or removal of the vehicle cover. The cover application operation is done so quickly that a blanket of air is trapped between the cover and the vehicle and helps the cover slide freely over the surface of the vehicle.
