Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . An elastic reusable cover assembly for a container comprising: 
 a first annular securement for frictionally engaging a first portion of said container; and    a cover constructed of an elastic material and integrally connected to said first annular securement for substantially enclosing a second portion of said container.    
     
     
         2 . The cover assembly according to  claim 1  further comprising a second annular securement integrally connected to said cover for frictionally engaging a third portion of said container.  
     
     
         3 . The cover assembly according to  claim 1  further comprising a bottom portion integrally connected to said cover for engaging a third portion of said container.  
     
     
         4 . The cover assembly according to  claim 1  wherein said first annular securement has elastic properties.

         6 . The cover assembly according to  claim 1  wherein said elastic material supports a visual display.  
     
     
         7 . The cover assembly according to  claim 6  wherein said visual display is printed on said elastic material.  
     
     
         8 . The cover assembly according to  claim 6  wherein said visual display is fastened to said elastic material by a hook and loop fastener.  
     
     
         9 . The cover assembly according to  claim 6  wherein said visual display is fastened to said elastic material by a snap member.  
     
     
         10 . The cover assembly according to  claim 6  wherein said visual display is secured to said elastic material by an adhesive.  
     
     
         11 . The cover assembly according to  claim 6  wherein said visual display is secured to said elastic material by at least one button.  
     
     
         12 . The cover assembly according to  claim 6  wherein said visual display is secured to said elastic material by a hook and eye fastener.  
     
     
         13 . The cover assembly according to  claim 6  wherein said visual display is secured to said elastic material by at least one magnet.  
     
     
         14 . The cover assembly according to  claim 6  wherein said visual display is secured to said elastic material by a zipper.  
     
     
         15 . An elastic reusable cover assembly for a container comprising: 
 a first annular securement for frictionally engaging a first portion of said container;    a cover constructed of an elastic material and integrally connected to said first annular securement for substantially enclosing a second portion of said container;    a second annular securement integrally connected to said cover for frictionally engaging a third portion of said container; and    wherein said elastic material supports a visual display.    
     
     
         16 . An elastic reusable cover assembly for a container comprising: 
 a first annular securement for frictionally engaging a first portion of said container;    a cover constructed of an elastic material and integrally connected to said first annular securement for substantially enclosing a second portion of said container; and    a bottom portion integrally connected to said cover for engaging a third portion of said container.    
     
     
         17 . A method for covering and improving the appearance of a container, said method comprising the steps of: 
 frictionally engaging a first annular securement to a first portion of said container; and    substantially enclosing a second portion of said container with a cover constructed of an elastic material and integrally connected to said first annular securement.    
     
     
         18 . The method according to  claim 17  further comprising the step of frictionally engaging a second annular securement to a third portion of said container.
