The following includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention(s). It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art, or material, to the presently described or claimed inventions, or that any publication or document that is specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
The present invention relates generally to the field of covering devices and more specifically relates to an portable and removable weight bench seat cover for weight training benches structured and arranged to permit a user to place and remove the cover from on the bench thereby protecting users from germs such as bacteria, sweat, that are transferred to the bench when in use.
A weight training bench is a piece of equipment that has a resemblance to a normal bench but is designed for use in weight training. Weight training benches may be of various designs: fixed horizontal, fixed inclined, fixed in a folded position, with one adjustable portion, with two or more adjustable portions, with racks to hold bars, etc. into that of combinations that mix a bench and associated equipment. Unfortunately, when a user is weight training, bacteria and sweat and other germs may be transferred from the user to the bench prior to another user using the weight training bench unless cleaned after every use. Therefore a need exists for a protective covering device for use on a weight-training bench that may be easily removed after each use.
Ideally, a portable and removable weight bench seat cover should be user-friendly and safe in-use and yet would operate reliably and be manufactured at a modest expense. Thus, a need exists for a portable and removable weight bench seat cover for weight training benches structured and arranged to permit a user to place and remove the cover from on the bench thereby protecting users from germs such as bacteria, sweat, that are transferred to the bench when in use to avoid the above-mentioned problems.
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known covering devices art, the present invention provides a novel Portable and Removable Weight Bench Seat Cover. The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail is to provide a portable and removable weight bench seat cover for weight training benches structured and arranged to permit a user to place and remove the cover from on the bench thereby protecting users from germs such as bacteria, sweat, that are transferred to the bench when in use.
A portable and removable weight bench seat cover comprising: a removable weight bench seat cover with a top side, a bottom side, and an elastic edge arranged around the circumference of the cover to hold the cover in place on a weight bench when in use; and at least one pair of adjustable straps with interlocking snap buttons arranged on the bottom side of the cover to hold the cover in place on the weight bench when in use.
A portable and removable weight bench cover set comprising: a carrying pouch with a wrist strap with a pair of interlocking snap buttons, and a zipper, a foldable, removable weight bench seat cover with a top side, a bottom side, an elastic edge arranged around the circumference of the cover to hold the cover in place on a weight bench when in use, and a pocket at an end on the bottom side of the cover; and at least one pair of adjustable straps with interlocking snap buttons arranged on the bottom side of the cover to hold the cover in place.
Wherein the pouch is openable and closeable via the zipper. Wherein the wrist strap is openable and closeable via the pair of interlocking snap buttons. Wherein the cover is foldable or stuffable or foldable and stuffable and fits inside the carrying pouch when folded or stuffed. Wherein the carrying pouch fits inside the pocket when the cover is unfolded. Wherein the cover comprises a material with anti-microbial, antifungal, or anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties. Wherein the elastic edge comprises a neoprene material.
The present invention holds significant improvements and serves as a Portable and Removable Weight Bench Seat Cover. For purposes of summarizing the invention, certain aspects, advantages, and novel features of the invention have been described herein. It is to be understood that not necessarily all such advantages may be achieved in accordance with any one particular embodiment of the invention. Thus, the invention may be embodied or carried out in a manner that achieves or optimizes one advantage or group of advantages as taught herein without necessarily achieving other advantages as may be taught or suggested herein. The features of the invention which are believed to be novel are particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portion of the specification. These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings and detailed description.
The figures which accompany the written portion of this specification illustrate embodiments and method(s) of use for the present invention, a Portable and Removable Weight Bench Seat Cover, constructed and operative according to the teachings of the present invention.
The various embodiments of the present invention will hereinafter be described in conjunction with the appended drawings, wherein like designations denote like elements.
As discussed above, embodiments of the present invention relate to a covering device and more particularly to a portable and removable weight bench seat cover for weight training benches structured and arranged to permit a user to place and remove the cover from on the bench thereby protecting users from germs such as bacteria, sweat, that are transferred to the bench when in use.
Generally speaking, the Portable and Removable Weight Bench Seat Cover is structured and arranged to permit a user to place and remove the cover from on the bench thereby protecting users from germs such as bacteria, sweat, that are transferred to the bench when in use. The present invention once placed over a weight training bench is kept in place via the elastic edges and a plurality of hook and loop fasteners along with a plurality of snaps. The present invention also includes a pouch for storing the Easy Fit when not in use and a pocket located on a bottom side of the present invention to have the pouch be inserted into when the Portable and Removable Weight Bench Seat Cover is in-use on a weight training bench.
To use the Portable and Removable Weight Bench Seat Cover, a user will unsnap at least one snap located on the carrying pouch to remove the cover. Then the user will wrap the cover around the weight training bench they will be using. The user may also use the optional fasteners provided to add extra securement of the Portable and Removable Weight Bench Seat Cover when in-use and to prevent unwanted displacement. When a user is finished weight training on the specific bench, they just remove the Portable and Removable Weight Bench Seat Cover and insert back into the carrying pouch for future use.

To use the portable and removable weight bench seat cover (2), a user will unsnap at least one snap or zipper (5) located on the carrying pouch (3) to open the pouch (3) and remove the cover (2). Then the user will wrap the cover (2) around the weight training bench (1) they will be using. The user may also use the optional fasteners (7, 8) provided to add extra securement of the Easy Fit when in-use and to prevent unwanted displacement. When a user is finished weight training on the specific bench (1), they just remove the portable and removable weight bench seat cover (2) and insert back into the carrying pouch (3) for future use.
The embodiments of the invention described herein are exemplary and numerous modifications, variations and rearrangements can be readily envisioned to achieve substantially equivalent results, all of which are intended to be embraced within the spirit and scope of the invention. Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientist, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application.
The present application is related to and claims priority from prior provisional application Ser. No. 62/715,803, filed Aug. 8, 2018 which application is incorporated herein by reference.
