Cover for protecting a car against the elements

Abstract

A protective vehicle cover and a method for protecting the interior of a vehicle from water damage. The cover comprises a flexible blanket or cover and temporarily installed on an outer surface of the vehicle, from the ground up rather than from the top down, for protecting the vehicle from rising waters.

1 . A method for protecting a vehicle from the forces that constitute the weather or flooding comprising: 
 spreading a cover on a ground surface; said cover having a front and a back face, and said cover having a perimeter or an endless edge and the front face of the cover is positioned facing the ground;    positioning a wheeled device over said back face of the protective cover so that said cover in the spread out position is capable of enveloping the car from the ground up;    lifting the endless edge of the protective cover so that the protective cover covers at least the bottom seams of the doors of the vehicle.    
   
   
       2 . The method according to  claim 1 , further comprising: gathering the endless edge of the cover on or near the top of the car.  
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 2  further comprising: 
 securing the edge of the protective cover to portions of the vehicle above the wheel base.    
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising: 
 securing at least two sections of the endless edge of the cover together.    
   
   
       5 . The method according to  claim 1  wherein the protective cover is impervious to water.  
   
   
       6 . The method according to  claim 2  wherein the protective cover is substantially longer and wider than the vehicle to be covered and the protective cover has a reinforced section; said reinforced section is approximately the width of a wheeled vehicle to be covered, and said reinforced section extends from a perimeter section at the distal or proximal end of the cover to the direction to the other end of the cover, said reinforced section having a length at least equal to a car length and at most a length that reaches to the opposite perimeter section of the cover.  
   
   
       7 . A protective cover for a vehicle comprising, 
 a water proof tarp having an endless perimeter; said tarp having a distal end section, a proximal end section, and a mid section located between the two end sections; said midsection being wider than said end sections.    
   
   
       8 . The protective cover of  claim 7  further comprising a plurality of spaced apart grommets or eyelets positioned around the endless perimeter.  
   
   
       9 . A protective cover for a vehicle comprising, 
 a water proof tarp having an endless perimeter and; said tarp having a front face, a distal end section, a proximal end section, and a mid section located between the two end sections; said midsection being wider than said end sections;    a plurality of spaced apart grommets positioned around the endless perimeter; and a reinforced section, said reinforced section extending from a perimeter section at the distal or proximal end of the cover and extending in the direction to the other end of the cover; said reinforced section having a length at least equal to a car length and at most a length that reaches to the opposite perimeter section of the cover.    
   
   
       10 . The protective cover of  claim 9 , wherein the reinforced section is wider than a wheel base of a wheeled vehicle to be covered.
