The disclosure and prior art relates to seat covers and more particularly pertains to a new seat cover for covering the seat portion of a chair in a public venue.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a shell that is flexible. The shell is waterproof and substantially rectangularly box shaped. The shell has a back, which is open. The back is positioned in the shell such that the shell is configured to substantially envelop the seat of a chair to prevent transfer of moisture and contaminants from the seat to a user.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
In another embodiment, the shell 12 comprises printable plastic, such that the shell 12 is configured for printing of indicia on the shell 12.
A flap 16 is coupled to a top 18 of the shell 12 and extends between opposing sides 20 of the shell 12. The flap 16 is positioned on the shell 12 such that the flap 16 is configured to insert into a gap defined by the seat and a back 14 of the chair. The flap 16 comprises a pair of corners 22 positioned distal from the shell 12. The corners are rounded.
In use, the back 14 is positioned in the shell 12 such that the shell 12 is configured to substantially envelop the seat of a chair, wherein transfer of moisture and contaminants from the seat to the user is prevented. The flap 16 is configured to insert into the gap defined by the seat and the back 14 of the chair.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
