A protective covering device having a weather-resistant sheet of material wound about a spring-loaded roller, which material may be extended off the roller and over an object to be covered in a relatively easy manner, and which material may then be spring-assisted back onto the roller during the uncovering of such object. The spring-loaded roller is positioned with a housing that is either anchored to the same surface on which the object to be covered is positioned, or is mountable to a vertically-oriented surface located near one end of the object to be covered. The opposite end of the cover has a four-point multiple curved contour configuration to provide better wrapping both on the storage roller and about the end of a vehicle to be covered. Elastic attachments between the cover and the draw bar serve to draw it over the vehicle and provide convenient and efficient wrapping of the cover about the end of the vehicle.
A sheet of flexible material for use in a protective covering device, such device comprising a roller within a housing, the flexible material attachable to such roller and further attachable to a handle member for guiding the flexible material off of and onto the roller, for the self-contoured covering of an object resting on a planar surface, such flexible material comprising:
A vehicle cover adapted for reeling off and back onto a reel mounted adjacent to a vehicle comprising:
A vehicle cover in accordance with claim 11 wherein the leading end of the cover is provided with elastic attachment means for attaching the cover to a handle.
A self-contouring protective covering device for covering an object resting on a planar surface comprising:
