Crawler track cover device

A crawler track cover device for inhibiting debris from falling off of a track of a crawler when the crawler is being transported on a trailer, said device comprising:

• a cover having an outer wall which is elongated along a longitudinal axis of said cover such that said cover has an oblong shape thereby facilitating said cover to conform to the shape of a track on a crawler vehicle, said cover being comprised of a resilient and tear resistant material thereby facilitating said cover to inhibit debris from being dislodged from said track when said cover is positioned over said track wherein said cover is configured to inhibit the debris from striking a vehicle on a roadway when said crawler vehicle is being transported on a trailer, said cover having a lateral wall lying on a plane being perpendicularly oriented with said outer wall, said lateral wall having a perimeter edge which has a lower side extending between a front curve and a back curve, said perimeter edge having a back side extending between said back curve and a top curve, said perimeter edge having an upper side extending between said top curve and said front curve, said upper side sloping downwardly between said top curve and said front curve such that said lateral wall defines an approximately triangular shape with rounded corners thereby facilitating said cover to conform to the shape of a triangular track, said lateral wall being elongated between said front curve and said back curve, said outer wall having an upper side intersecting said upper side of said perimeter edge of said lateral wall, said outer wall having a back side which intersects said back side of said perimeter edge of said lateral wall, said outer wall having a front side which intersects said front curve of said perimeter edge of said lateral wall, said cover having a lateral panel lying on a plane being oriented parallel to said lateral wall, said lateral panel having a lower edge which has a lower side extending between a forward side and a rear side of said lower edge, said lower side of said lower edge being spaced from and extending along a line being oriented parallel to said upper side of said outer wall, said rear side of said lower edge being spaced from and extending along a line being oriented parallel to said back side of said outer wall such that said rear side intersects a termination of said back side of said outer wall, said forward side of said lower edge extending between said lower side of said lower edge and a termination of said front side of said outer wall, said termination of said front side of said outer wall and said termination of said back side of said outer wall defining a track opening in said cover for receiving said track having said outer wall resting on an outwardly facing surface of said track, said outer wall having a lip extending between said termination of said back side of said outer wall and said termination of said front side of said outer wall, said lip intersecting said lower side of said perimeter edge of said lateral wall;
• an elastomeric tube being attached to said cover, said elastomeric tube extending along said lip and said termination of said front side and said termination of said back side of said outer wall of said cover such that said elastomeric tube biases said track opening to close around said track when said cover is positioned over said track thereby facilitating said cover to enclose debris on said track, said elastomeric tube having a hole extending into an interior of said elastomeric tube;
• a pair of drawstrings, each of said pair of drawstrings being disposed within said elastomeric tube, each of said pair of drawstrings extending outwardly through said hole in said elastomeric tube such that an end of each of said drawstrings is exposed, said pair of drawstrings being drawable outwardly from said elastomeric tube for tightening said track opening in said cover around said track for retaining said cover on said track, said drawstring including a pair of balls each being attached to said end of a respective one of said drawstrings;
• and
• a slide having each of said drawstrings sliding through said slide, said slide having a locking mechanism being biased into a locking condition for engaging said pair of drawstrings to inhibit said pair of drawstrings from sliding through said slide, said locking mechanism being actuatable into an unlocked condition to facilitate said pair of drawstrings to freely slide through said slide.
