Car seat covers

A car seat cover of a type including a deformable material providing the facing for the cover, the cover including a back portion adapted to cover a back of a car seat and a seat portion adapted to cover a seat of the car seat, said back portion extending over the front of the back of the car seat and including an upper region adapted to be located adjacent the top of the back of the car seat, said back portion being adapted to be secured so as to extend around the car seat back to each side thereof and having a back sleeve on each side of the back portion of the cover, each back sleeve being adapted to extend to a side of the seat to which it is to be affixed and to the back of the car seat at spaced locations disposed across the back of the car seat, each back sleeve having threaded therethrough a back cord resiliently connected and arranged so that each back sleeve can move in an upward or downward direction relative to the said cord when the cover is secured to the car seat, each of the back cords being secured at an upper end thereto to a stiffened sleeve extending across an upper edge of the deformable cover material, the stiffened sleeve being sufficiently stiffened to transmit any pulling forces exerted by the back cords across a significant width of the top of the cover material, each of said back cords being arranged to extend downwardly from said stiffened sleeve in substantially vertical orientation through its associated back sleeve remote from the sides of the seat, means at a lower end of each of the back cords adapted to engage a portion of the car seat and thereby to hold the back portion against the seat by resiliently pulling down the upper edge of the deformable cover material and laterally tensioning the back portion across the front of the car seat while allowing relative upward and downward movement between each of the back cords and its associated back sleeve.

A car seat cover of a type including a wooly sheep skin of a size adequate to cover both the front of a car seat back and the seat of a car seat, the cover being characterized in that a back portion of the cover is adapted to fit across the front of the back of a car seat and a seat portion of the cover is adapted to fit onto the seat of the car seat, said back portion extending over the front of the back of the car seat and including an upper region adapted to be located adjacent the top of the back of the car seat, said back portion also including a plurality of back sleeves extending from a periphery of the back portion of the cover, each back sleeve being adapted to extend to a side of the seat which it is to be affixed and to the back of the car seat at spaced locations disposed across the back of the car seat, and a back cord resiliently connected and passing collectively through each of the back sleeves, said back cord being arranged to engage the cover adjacent said upper region thereof and to extend downwardly in substantially vertical orientation through said back sleeves at said spaced locations remote from the sides of the seat, means at each end of the back cord adapted to engage a portion of the car seat and thereby to hold the back portion against the seat by resiliently pulling down the upper region of the cover and laterally tensioning the back portion across the front of the car seat while allowing relative upward and downward movement between the back cord and the back sleeves, said seat portion of the cover including a plurality of seat sleeves extending from a periphery of the seat portion of the cover, a separate seat cord resiliently connected passing through each of the seat sleeves and adapted to have each end thereof held to the seat independent of the back cord, and flap means secured to a back side of the cover at an approximately midway location, said flap means being adapted to pass between the back and seat portions of the car seat and to be resiliently attached to a portion of the car seat, the flap means including a pair of flap members adapted to be centrally located between the sides of the seat, said flap members being respectively secured to upper and lower locations with respect to the cover so that the cover is resiliently biased both downwardly with respect to the back of the car seat and rearwardly with respect to the seat portion of the car seat.
