Abstract
A reversible soft cover has two sides with patterns thereon. The cover comprises at least one corner assembly capable of reproducing the corner in either of two inversely related configurations. The corner assemblies comprise panels, holes and flat-radius pleats. The flat-radius pleats allow for the two-dimensional cover to assume either of two three-dimensional configurations, and to reproduce the corners in either three-dimensional configuration. Anti-peel snaps prevent the corners from peeling away during use.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWe claim:
1 . A reversible soft cover comprising:
a two-dimensional flexible sheet having a first side and a second side; the sheet being foldable into a first three-dimensional configuration and a second three-dimensional configuration, each three-dimensional configuration having an inside and an outside, wherein in the first three-dimensional configuration the first side is on the outside, and in the second three-dimensional configuration the second side is on the outside; and further wherein the cover has at least one reversible corner that is produced in both the first and the second three-dimensional configuration.
2 . The reversible cover according to claim 1 , wherein each reversible corner comprises at least one flat-radius pleat.
3 . The reversible cover according to claim 2 , wherein the cover has four corners, each corner comprising at least one flat-radius pleat.
4 . The reversible cover according to claim 1 , wherein the first side bears a first pattern, and the second side bears a second pattern, the first pattern being different from the second pattern.
5 . The reversible cover according to claim 4 , wherein the first pattern is a solid color and the second pattern is a camouflage pattern.
6 . The reversible cover according to claim 5 , wherein the first pattern is a solid tan and the second pattern is a woodland green camouflage pattern.
7 . The reversible cover according to claim 4 , wherein the first pattern is a first camouflage pattern and the second pattern is a second camouflage pattern.
8 . The reversible cover according to claim 7 , wherein the first pattern is an earth-tone camouflage pattern and the second pattern is a green camouflage pattern.
9 . The reversible cover according to claim 4 , wherein the first pattern is a solid color and the second pattern is a different solid color.
10 . The reversible cover according to claim 9 , wherein the first pattern is a solid tan and the second pattern is a solid green.
11 . The reversible cover according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one member of the group consisting of a multi-purpose strap and an anti-peel snap.
12 . The reversible cover according to claim 1 , wherein the cover comprises a single sheet of fabric.
13 . A corner assembly for a soft cover, the corner assembly comprising a plurality of panels and at least one flat-radius pleat, the panels having holes therein, and the holes and pleats being arranged so the corner assembly is adapted to be folded into either of two, inversely related three-dimensional configurations.
14 . The corner assembly according to claim 13 , comprising at least two flat radius pleats.
15 . The corner assembly according to claim 13 , further comprising a means for holding the folds of the corner assembly together.
16 . The corner assembly according to claim 15 , wherein the means for holding the folds of the corner assembly together is an anti-peel snap.
17 . An anti-peel snap comprising a first disc having one or more posts protruding therefrom, a second disc for receiving said one or more posts and at least one fastener adapted to hold the two discs together.
18 . The anti-peel snap according to claim 17 , wherein the at least one fastener is a bolt and nut combination.
19 . The cover according to claim 1 , wherein the cover is reinforced.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
