Abstract
A cover device (1) includes a hard case (4) suitable to be positioned on a support (5) that keeps the cover device raised with respect to a lower bottom surface (6). In the closed configuration, the case contains a cover (2) wound inside it. When the case opens, the cover is suitable to come out, unwinding and outstretching itself around the case (4) in a radial direction, passing from the wound configuration to the outstretched configuration to cover an area of space under the cover between the lower bottom surface (6) and the cover (2).
Claims20
Cover device, comprising:
- a cover suitable to assume a wound configuration and an outstretched configuration,
- a hard case suitable to be placed on a stand keeping said case elevated with respect to a lower bottom surface,
- said case being suitable to assume a closed configuration, in which the cover is at substantially contained in said case in a wound configuration, and an open configuration, in which the cover is suitable to come out, the cover unwinding and outstretching around said case in a radial direction, passing from the wound configuration to the outstretched configuration to cover an area of space under the cover and between the lower bottom surface and said cover;
- at least one inner chamber of a flexible material and sealing to fluid material;
- and
- an inflation device and a deflation device of the cover, said inflation device and said deflation device being in fluidic communication with the at least one inner chamber to inflate and deflate the cover by a fluid introduced to or removed from the inner chamber.
Method for protection of an area of space from atmospheric agents by a cover device comprising the following steps:
- providing a cover device comprising a cover having at least one inner chamber of a flexible material, said cover being enclosed in a rigid case and placing said cover device in an area of space designated to be protected by the cover in an elevated position with respect to a bottom surface area;
- opening the case;
- taking the cover out of the case by unwinding and outstretching the cover in a radial direction and around the case to cover the area of space;
- and
- inflating the inner chamber inside the cover up to an operating pressure.
