Abstract

A multi-functional seat shield includes a cover sheet adapted for fully covering on a body contacting surface a seat, a holding sheet, which is overlappedly extended from the cover sheet having a receiving opening wherein a holding chamber is provided between the cover sheet and the holding sheet and communicated with the receiving opening. An elastic unit is mounted along a surrounding edge of the receiving opening for retaining the cover sheet on the seat. A pocket sheet, extended from an upper edge of the cover sheet, is adapted for holding the cover sheet in position when the cover sheet is folded in a roll form. Therefore, the multi-functional seat shield is adapted for not only protecting the seat but also using as an outdoor ground pad when the cover sheet is laid on the ground.

Claims

         3 . A multi-functional seat shield, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said receiving opening is formed in double-W shape so as to define said seat retaining element of said elastic unit into a C-shape form, said back retaining element into a C-shape form, and said two support elements into arc-shape forms, wherein each arc-shaped support element is extended between two end portions of said seat retaining element and said back retaining element respectively.  
     
     
         4 . A multi-functional seat shield, as recited in  claim 2 , wherein said receiving opening is formed in double-W shape so as to define said seat retaining element of said elastic unit into a C-shape form, said back retaining element into a C-shape form, and said two support elements into arc-shape forms, wherein each arc-shaped support element is extended between two end portions of said seat retaining element and said back retaining element respectively.  
     
     
         5 . A multi-functional seat shield, as recited in  claim 2 , wherein said seat retaining element, said back retaining element, and said two support elements of said elastic unit are four elastic bands respectively affixed by double stitching along said surrounding edge of said receiving opening, wherein said elastic unit is adapted for applying an urging pressure along said receiving opening so as to hold said head portion and said tail portion of said cover sheet on said seat in position.  
     
     
         6 . A multi-functional seat shield, as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said seat retaining element, said back retaining element, and said two support elements of said elastic unit are four elastic bands respectively affixed by double stitching along said surrounding edge of said receiving opening, wherein said elastic unit is adapted for applying an urging pressure along said receiving opening so as to hold said head portion and said tail portion of said cover sheet on said seat in position.  
     
     
         7 . A multi-functional seat shield, as recited in  claim 4 , wherein said seat retaining element, said back retaining element, and said two support elements of said elastic unit are four elastic bands respectively affixed by double stitching along said surrounding edge of said receiving opening, wherein said elastic unit is adapted for applying an urging pressure along said receiving opening so as to hold said head portion and said tail portion of said cover sheet on said seat in position.  
     
     
         8 . A multi-functional seat shield, as recited in  claim 2 , further comprising at least a first fastener provided on said first side of said pocket sheet and at least a corresponding second fastener provided on said second side of said pocket sheet in such a manner that said pocket sheet is capable of fittedly wrapping said cover sheet when rolling up from said tail portion to said head portion thereof and securely packing by attaching said first fastener to said second fastener.  
     
     
         9 . A multi-functional seat shield, as recited in  claim 4 , further comprising at least a first fastener provided on said first side of said pocket sheet and at least a corresponding second fastener provided on said second side of said pocket sheet in such a manner that said pocket sheet is capable of fittedly wrapping said cover sheet when rolling up from said tail portion to said head portion thereof and securely packing by attaching said first fastener to said second fastener.  
     
     
         10 . A multi-functional seat shield, as recited in  claim 7 , further comprising at least a first fastener provided on said first side of said pocket sheet and at least a corresponding second fastener provided on said second side of said pocket sheet in such a manner that said pocket sheet is capable of fittedly wrapping said cover sheet when rolling up from said tail portion to said head portion thereof and securely packing by attaching said first fastener to said second fastener.  
     
     
         11 . A multi-functional seat shield, as recited in  claim 10 , wherein said first and second fasteners are a pair of hoop and loop fasteners wherein said first fastener is affixed by stitching at an upper central portion of said first side of said pocket sheet and said second fastener is affixed by stitching at a lower central portion of said second side of said pocket sheet.
