Abstract
A cover may include a plurality of first fastening mechanisms disposed adjacent to one another along a first edge and a plurality of second fastening mechanisms disposed adjacent to one another along a second edge. Each second fastening mechanism may correspond to one of the first fastening mechanisms to connect to the corresponding first fastening mechanism when the cover is bent about the axis.
Claims18
A cover device for covering a serviceable device, comprising:
- a cover body extending along a central longitudinal axis, being configured to be moveable between a substantially flattened configuration and a substantially bent configuration with respect to the axis, and having a first edge on one side of the axis and a second edge opposite to the first edge on the other side of the axis in the substantially flattened configuration, the cover body being of a flexible material and having a first side and a second side extending between the first edge and second edge, the second edge being opposite to the first edge;
- a plurality of first fastening mechanisms disposed adjacent to one another along the first edge;
- and
- a plurality of second fastening mechanisms disposed adjacent to one another along the second edge, each second fastening mechanism corresponding to one of the first fastening mechanisms to connect to the corresponding first fastening mechanism encapsulating the serviceable device when the cover is in the bent configuration about the axis, wherein the second fastening mechanisms are configured to be disconnectable from the corresponding first fastening mechanisms,
- wherein the cover body includes a top layer attached to a bottom layer with an adhesive, the fastening mechanisms being disposed between the top layer and bottom layer and
- wherein the top layer and bottom layer each include a layer body and a layer first edge and a layer second edge, the layer bodies being of a greater thickness than the first and second edges.

A reusable cover for covering a serviceable device, comprising:
- a cover body extending along a central longitudinal axis, being configured to be moveable between a substantially flattened configuration and a substantially bent configuration with respect to the axis, and having a first edge and a second edge opposite to the first edge, the cover body having a first side and second side extending between the first edge and second edge, the substantially bent configuration being configured to form a first serviceable device opening and a second serviceable device opening about the serviceable device;
- a first fastening aperture adjacent the first serviceable device opening and the first or second edge;
- a second fastening aperture adjacent the second serviceable device opening and the first or second edge;
- a plurality of first fastening mechanisms disposed adjacent to one another along the first edge;
- a plurality of second fastening mechanisms disposed adjacent to one another along the second edge, each second fastening mechanisms corresponding to one of the first fastening mechanisms to connect to the corresponding first fastening mechanisms when the cover is bent so that the first edge is adjacent the second edge, wherein the plurality of first and second fastening mechanisms are selectively spaced from one another forming a plurality of gaps between the attached fastening mechanisms;
- wherein the cover body includes a top layer attached to a bottom layer with an adhesive, the fastening mechanisms being disposed between the top layer and bottom layer and
- wherein the top layer and bottom layer each include a layer body and a layer first edge and a layer second edge, the layer bodies being of a greater thickness than the first and second edges.
