Abstract
Description
- This application claims priority to co-pending U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/878,283, filed Sep. 16, 2013, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- The disclosure relates, generally, to protective covers, and more particularly, to weatherproof protective covering devices for barbecue grills and other cooking apparatus, automobiles, outdoor furniture, and the like.
- Conventional weatherproof covers are used to protect outdoor furniture and other valuable items against damage from sun, rain, snow, dust, rodents, tree sap, spills, and the like. When a conventional cover is removed from an item of outdoor furniture, such as a deck chair or chaise lounger, and the cover is not in use, it can be cumbersome to find suitable convenient storage for the cover due to its bulk.
- The functionality of conventional patio chairs is often enhanced by the use of one or more conventional outdoor furniture pillows. Due to their bulk, such pillows are typically removed from a patio chair prior to applying a conventional weatherproof cover, and may even be brought indoors or stowed away in another dry location away from sunlight.
- Accordingly, use of conventional outdoor furniture covers and outdoor furniture pillows in conjunction with one another involves having to dedicate storage space for either one or the other, at nearly all times. The cover is stowed away in a designated storage location while the pillow is in use, and the pillow is stowed away in a designated storage location while the cover is in use.
- Embodiments of the present disclosure provide convertible protective covers, for use with patio furniture and other outdoor items for which protection against weather is desirable, such as barbecue grills. A protective cover consistent with embodiments of the disclosure is adapted to convert into a pillow, whereby the cover itself is stored inside the pillow. Thus, no additional storage space is required for the cover when the cover is not in use, because the cover converts into a pillow. Conversely, no additional storage space is required for the pillow when the pillow is not in use, because the pillow converts back into a cover.
- In one embodiment, the disclosure provides a convertible protective cover includes: a covering portion having an underside, a pillowcase portion having an inside surface, and a tether having two ends, one end coupled to the covering portion and the other end coupled to the pillowcase portion.
- In another embodiment, the disclosure provides a method for concealing a protective cover for an article. The method includes: receiving, inside a pillowcase portion having an inside surface, a covering portion having an underside. The pillowcase portion is tethered to the covering portion by means of a tether. One end of the tether is coupled to the underside of the covering portion, and the other end of the tether is coupled to the inside surface of the pillowcase portion.

However, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are merely representative for purposes of describing example embodiments of the present disclosure. Embodiments of the present disclosure may be embodied in many alternative forms and should not be construed as limited to only the embodiments set forth herein. Further, the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of example embodiments of the disclosure.
-
FIG. 1 shows an exemplary convertibleoutdoor chair cover 100 consistent with a first embodiment of the disclosure. InFIG. 1 ,cover 100 is shown during use as a cover for achair 110. It can be seen that, from its outside appearance,cover 100 appears to be an ordinary chair cover, and only coveringportion 101 is visible. -
FIG. 2 showscover 100 ofFIG. 1 , in an intermediate stage of conversion to a pillow. As shown,cover 100 includes apillowcase portion 102 coupled to coveringportion 101 by means of atether 103. Tether 103 connects to an interior portion of coveringportion 101 at one end, with the other end oftether 103 connecting to an interior portion ofpillowcase portion 102. - The shape, size, and dimensions of covering
portion 101 will vary and should generally conform to the shape, size, and dimensions of the patio furniture (or barbecue grill, or other article being covered). Accordingly, the particular size and dimensions for the construction of coveringportion 101 will not be discussed herein. Coveringportion 101 is desirably manufactured, e.g., from 100% polypropylene or other waterproof material. In one embodiment, coveringportion 101 is a three-layer product consisting of two outer layers of spunbond polypropylene with an inner layer of polypropylene film. The polypropylene film is 100% waterproof and breathable. Coveringportion 101 is desirably strong, lightweight, durable, UV-resistant and protects patio furniture from the elements. Coveringportion 101 is also desirably flexible and stuffs easily into the interior ofpillowcase portion 102. In some embodiments, hook-and-loop fastener (not shown) or other strap-type fasteners may be included, to permit coveringportion 101 to be fastened securely tochair 110. -
Pillowcase portion 102 is sized to receive both theentire covering portion 101 and theentire tether 103, which are adapted to be “stuffed” by a user into coveringportion 101, in pocket or envelope fashion. When stuffed insidepillowcase portion 102, coveringportion 101 acts as the stuffing of the pillow, yielding a usable comfortable and attractive pillow that can be placed on furniture, and hiding the fact that a patio furniture cover is stored inside.Pillowcase portion 102 is desirably manufactured, e.g., from solution-dyed acrylic for durability, UV-stability, fade-resistance and to provide a soft, luxurious feel consistent with patio cushions and pillows. In one embodiment,pillowcase portion 102 is designed to operate in like manner to a duvet cover, with an opening in the rear instead of at one edge, so that coveringportion 101 can be stuffed intopillowcase portion 102 through the rear opening. - Tether 103, which may be formed, e.g., from polypropylene webbing, is desirably included to prevent covering
portion 101 from becoming lost or otherwise separated frompillowcase portion 102. In one embodiment,tether 103 is an elastic cord composed of one or more elastic strands forming a core, covered in a woven cotton or polypropylene sheath. In the embodiment ofFIGS. 1-3 ,tether 103 is permanently and non-releasably attached to coveringportion 101 andpillowcase portion 102. However, in alternative embodiments,tether 103 is releasably attached (e.g., using hook-and-loop fastener, one or more releasable connectors, or the like) to one or more of coveringportion 101 andpillowcase portion 102, e.g., to permit detangling and/or cleaning. Tether 103 may be elastic (e.g., to reduce tangling and length) or non-elastic, in different embodiments, and may include wire, rope, string, cord, or the like. In some embodiments,tether 103 may be omitted altogether. - As seen in
FIG. 1 , during use as a cover,pillowcase portion 102 simply remains hidden underneath coveringportion 101, e.g., disposed betweenchair 110 and coveringportion 101. As seen inFIG. 3 , during use as a pillow, coveringportion 101 remains hidden insidepillowcase portion 102. - Although
pillowcase portion 102 remains open at one end in the embodiment ofFIGS. 1-3 ,FIG. 4 shows an alternative embodiment of apillowcase portion 402 that includes azipper 408 along its edge, to permit closure of the open end ofpillowcase portion 402, thereby securely retaining and concealing the covering portion and the tether insidepillowcase portion 402. Other closure devices that may be used for similar purposes include buttons, hook-and-loop fastener, snaps, or the like. Alternatively, in certain embodiments, the closure of the pillow may be achieved by overlapping the fabric edges of thepillowcase portion 402, with a closure device either being omitted altogether or with a closure device being provided by one or more folds or pockets formed in the fabric edges of thepillowcase portion 402. Inclusion ofzipper 408 or one or more other closure devices permits closure ofpillowcase portion 402 after stuffing by the user, thereby providing the appearance of a neat, manufactured pillow product that can be placed on a patio chair or other outdoor furniture after removing the cover from the chair and converting it into a pillow. -
FIG. 5 shows an exemplary convertible outdoorchaise lounge cover 500 consistent with a third embodiment of the disclosure, in use as a cover for achaise lounge 510.Cover 500 ofFIG. 5 is similar to cover 100 ofFIGS. 1-3 , except that the dimensions ofcover 500 are different from those ofcover 100. In other respects, covers 100 and 500 are constructed and function in like manner to one another. -
FIG. 6 shows an exemplary convertiblebarbecue grill cover 600 consistent with a fourth embodiment of the disclosure, in use as a cover for a barbecue grill (not shown). Cover 600 ofFIG. 6 is similar to cover 100 ofFIGS. 1-3 and cover 500 ofFIG. 5 , except that the dimensions ofcover 600 are different from those ofcovers cover 600 is adapted to fit a barbecue grill. In other respects,cover 600 is constructed and function in like manner to covers 100, 500. - Accordingly, a convertible cover consistent with embodiments of the disclosure eliminates the problem of having to find a place to store patio furniture covers by creating a pillow that has its own storage location for the cover inside the pillow. Additionally, the problem of having to find a place to store patio furniture pillows is eliminated by creating a pillow that converts into a patio furniture cover that is subsequently disposed over an article of patio furniture.
