ABSTRACT:
The invention consists of cover (20) for covering vehicle (40) used to transport people and a releasable connecting system which releasably connects cover (20) to vehicle (40) outside of vehicle (40). Cover (20) is a flexible sheet that is sized and shaped to cover the exterior surfaces of the passenger compartment (41) of vehicle (40). The opaque and reflective qualities of cover (20) pervent compartment (41) from getting uncomfortably hot or damaged from exposure to summer sun. Use of cover (20) during winter shields the vehicle's windows from ice and snow. Cover (20) and connecting system also serve to deter and resist entry of unauthorized persons into vehicle (40). The first typical embodiment of the connecting system includes arm (31), fastener (32), and anchor (33). Arm (31) is an elongated member with one end joined to cover (20) and the other end releasably connected by fastener (32) to anchor (33). Fastener (32) is accessible from outside vehicle (40). Anchor (33) is initially attached to vehicle (40) by sliding anchor (33) on vehicle's door edge (51). Anchor (33) pinches door edge (51) and can be removed from door (50) only when door (50) is open. Anchor (33) remains attached to vehicle (40) when cover (20) is on vehicle (40) or removed from vehicle (40). For any embodiment of cover (20) and connecting system, no doors (50) or other closure members need to be opened to allow removal of cover (20) from vehicle (40).
