Abstract
The present invention discloses a device for a cover on a vehicle, group of vehicles or building whereby the vehicles are protected from falling hail during a hail storm. The present invention comprises a flexible cover having an air blower for constantly supplying air to the cover along with spring-loaded outlet air valves whereby a preset pressure is maintained in the cover. The cover operates somewhat on the principle of a hovercraft according to dynamic physics. An air blower is also provided along with straps for holding the cover onto the vehicle.
Claims12
In combination, apparatus for protecting a vehicle from falling hail during a hail storm, comprising:
- a) a cover for the vehicle, said cover adapted for being positioned on the vehicle;
- b) said cover defined by an inner surface and an outer surface,
- c) said cover further defined by a top, a downwardly extending front, a downwardly extending rear, and a pair of downwardly extending sides;
- d) said cover having the general shape of the vehicle;
- e) an air chamber formed by said inner surface and said outer surface;
- f) a means for constantly supplying air into said air chamber during a hail storm for maintaining said air chamber under pressure and said cover at a thickness in the range of about 5.5 to 6.5 inches;
- g) means for releasing air at a pressure greater than 22 p.s.i. from said air chamber;
- and,
- h) means for securing said cover onto the vehicle.
In combination, apparatus for protecting multiple vehicles from falling hail during a hail storm, comprising:
- a) a single cover for said multiple vehicles, said cover adapted for being positioned on the vehicles;
- b) said cover defined by an inner surface and an outer surface;
- c) said cover further defined by a top, a downwardly extending front, a downwardly extending rear, and a pair of downwardly extending sides;
- d) an air chamber formed by said inner surface and said outer surface;
- e) a means for constantly supplying during a hail storm air into said air chamber for maintaining said air chamber under pressure and said cover at a thickness in the range of about 5.5 to 6.5 inches;
- f) means for releasing air at a pressure greater than 22 p.s.i. from said air chamber;
- and,
- g) means for securing said cover over the vehicles.
