Abstract
A grill cover device includes a flexible cover defining a hollow recess having an open mouth. The recess is adapted to receive an associated grill therein when the flexible cover is in an expanded condition. A flexible resilient frame is connected to the flexible cover. The frame exerts a biasing force on said flexible cover to bias the cover into its expanded condition. The frame and the flexible cover are selectively resiliently deformable as a unit against the biasing force of the frame into a collapsed storage configuration in which the frame and cover are folded upon themselves.
Claims13
A grill cover device comprising:
- a flexible cover defining a hollow recess having an open mouth, said recess adapted to receive an associated grill therein when said flexible cover is in an expanded condition;
- a flexible resilient frame connected to said flexible cover, said frame exerting a biasing force on said flexible cover to bias said flexible cover into said expanded condition, said frame and said flexible cover selectively resiliently deformable as a unit against said biasing force of said frame into a collapsed storage configuration in which said frame and cover are folded upon themselves.
A grill cover device comprising:
- a flexible covering member;
- a resilient frame member connected to said flexible covering member, said resilient frame member and said flexible covering member connected thereto selectively resiliently expandable as a unit into an expanded condition where said flexible covering member defines a shell including a recess and an open mouth.
A grill cover comprising:
- a cover adapted to be placed in covering relation over an associated grill;
- and,
- a spring frame substructure connected to said cover for holding said cover in an expanded condition.
