Furniture slipcover

Abstract

A furniture slipcover is used to cover a piece of furniture, and includes a fabric cover body and a cover-tensioning member. The fabric cover body is configured with a space that is adapted for confining the piece of furniture therein, and has a draping portion for surrounding lateral sides of the piece of furniture. The cover-tensioning member is provided on the drape portion. By virtue of the weight of the cover-tensioning member, the cover-tensioning member applies downward pulling forces on the draping portion for spreading out the cover body when the cover body covers the piece of furniture.

1 . A furniture slipcover for covering a piece of furniture, said furniture slipcover comprising: 
 a fabric cover body configured with a space that is adapted for confining the piece of furniture therein, said cover body having a draping portion for surrounding lateral sides of the piece of furniture; and    a cover-tensioning member provided on said drape portion, wherein, by virtue of the weight of said cover-tensioning member, said cover-tensioning member applies downward pulling forces on said draping portion for spreading out said cover body when said cover body covers the piece of furniture.    
   
   
       2 . The furniture slipcover as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said draping portion has a bottom edge segment to be disposed in close proximity to the ground where the piece of furniture is located, said cover-tensioning member being provided on said bottom edge segment of said draping portion and cooperating with said draping portion to form a barrier for preventing small items from rolling under the piece of furniture confined in said space of said cover body.  
   
   
       3 . The furniture slipcover as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said cover body further has a top spread portion for covering a top side of the piece of furniture, said draping portion being connected to and cooperating with said top spread portion to configure said cover body with said space.  
   
   
       4 . The furniture slipcover as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said cover-tensioning member is an annular frame adapted to surround the piece of furniture.  
   
   
       5 . The furniture slipcover as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said bottom edge segment of said draping portion is formed with a pouch to hold said cover-tensioning member therein.
