Cover with weighted base for protecting objects

Abstract

The invention relates to a cover for protecting objects from outside interference, such as wind, rain or animals. The cover is self standing, completely enclosing any shape or size of object to be protected and is generally stackable one on top of another. The shape and size of the cover may depend on the shapes and sizes of the objects to be protected. The cover comprises generally a flexible body made of tarpaulin like material or a rigid body made of sheet metal or plastic connected to a weighted base. The base may be formed with a hollow annular bead extending from the lower part of the peripheral edge of the body and filled by weighting materials such as chain or any other flexible ballast means. The cover is also provided with handles for ease of deployment and movement.
