Various types of vehicle Vehicle CD player plug-covers are known in the prior art. However, what is needed is a vehicle CD player plug-cover that includes a parallelepiped cover having a parallelepiped insert projecting perpendicularly from a rear surface, which insert releasably inserts into an automobile CD player to conceal the CD player from view.
The present invention relates to a vehicle CD player plug-cover, and more particularly, to a vehicle CD player plug-cover that includes a parallelepiped cover having a parallelepiped insert projecting perpendicularly from a rear surface, which insert releasably inserts into an automobile CD player to conceal the CD player from view.
The general purpose of the vehicle CD player plug-cover, described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a vehicle CD player plug-cover which has many novel features that result in a vehicle CD player plug-cover which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by prior art, either alone or in combination thereof.
The present vehicle CD player plug-cover has been devised to releasably insert into an automobile CD player and conceal the CD player from view. When concealed, an automobile CD player is less likely to attract thieves. The present vehicle CD player plug-cover, by concealing a CD player which may have bright lights disposed thereon and other inharmonious lines and design elements, further presents an aesthetically pleasing exterior less distracting to a driver. A further intent of the present vehicle CD player plug-cover is to protect a CD player, from dust and debris, and other damage that may result when the CD player is left uncovered.
The present vehicle CD player plug-cover includes a parallelepiped cover configured to cover an automobile CD player. This cover has a front surface and a rear surface. A parallelepiped insert projects perpendicularly from the rear surface. This insert has a bead disposed along a rear edge, the bead configured to have the same length as the diameter of a standard CD. The bead therefore inserts into a CD player in the same manner as a CD, and the insert holds the cover over the CD player exterior thereby concealing the CD player from view.
The insert may be ejected, and the vehicle CD player plug-cover removed from the CD player, in the same manner as ejecting a CD.
The present vehicle CD player plug-cover may have designs on the front surface to make the vehicle CD player plug-cover more aesthetically pleasing to the owner and match an interior of an automobile, as desired.
Thus has been broadly outlined the more important features of the present vehicle CD player plug-cover so 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.
Objects of the present vehicle CD player plug-cover, along with various novel features that characterize the invention are particularly pointed out in the claims forming a part of this disclosure. For better understanding of the vehicle CD player plug-cover, its operating advantages and specific objects attained by its uses, refer to the accompanying drawings and description.
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular
Referring to
The vehicle CD player plug-cover 10 includes a parallelepiped cover 20 having a first long edge 22, a second long edge 24 disposed parallel the first long edge 22, a first short edge 26 disposed perpendicular the first 22 and second 24 long edges, a second short edge 28 disposed parallel the first short edge 26, a front surface 30, and a rear surface 32.
A parallelepiped insert 34 is centrally disposed upon the rear surface 32. The insert 34 is disposed perpendicularly with respect to the cover, and projects therefrom. A first side edge 36 is disposed perpendicular the cover 20 and a second side edge 38 is disposed parallel the first side edge 36. A rear edge 40 is disposed parallel the cover 20. A bead 42 is disposed upon the rear edge 40. The bead 42 has a length equal to the diameter of a CD (see
The insert 34 is configured to be insertable into an automobile CD player 44 and secured therein by means of the extant mechanism within the CD player. The cover 20 is configured to be longer than the insert 34, and the first 22 and second 24 long edges are longer in length than the insert 34 rear edge 40. The cover 20 is thereby held in front of said CD player 44 when the insert 34 is inserted into the CD player 44. When the insert 34 is inserted into an automobile CD player 44, the cover 20 conceals the CD player from view (see
The present vehicle CD player plug-cover 10 therefore protects an extant automobile CD player 44 from dust and debris, and other damage that may be rendered the CD player 44 when uncovered, and further decreases the possibility of thievery.
