Cushion cover apparatus with connection mechanisms

Abstract

Covers are secured to cushions that have an outer surface that has connection mechanisms that allow multiple cushions to be coupled to each other and an inner surface that will not damage the surface of the cushions. The covers are secured to the cushions with straps or elastic materials. The connection mechanism includes hook areas and loop areas that cover the outer surface of the covers. The cushions are coupled with the hook area of a cushion is pressed against the loop area of another cushion.

1 . A cover for a cushion comprising:
 an inner surface of the cover;   an outer surface of the cover having an attachment system wherein a first portion of the outer side is covered with hooks and a second portion of the outer side is covered with loops; and   a securing mechanism coupled to the cover for securing the cover around the cushion.   
   
   
       2 . The cover of  claim 1  wherein an area of the cover that covers an edge of the cushion includes the first portion of the connector side is covered with hooks and the second portion of the connector side is covered with loops. 
   
   
       3 . The cover of  claim 1  wherein an area of the cover that covers front side of the cushion includes the first portion of the connector side is covered with hooks and the second portion of the connector side is covered with loops. 
   
   
       4 . The cover of  claim 1  wherein the securing mechanism includes an elongated strap having a first surface covered with hooks. 
   
   
       5 . The cover of  claim 1  wherein the cover includes an open end and an elastic material that is attached to the open end. 
   
   
       6 . The cover of  claim 1  wherein the cover includes a portion that is made of a two way stretch fabric which secures at least a portion of the cover around the cushion. 
   
   
       7 . The cover of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a flap that extends from the outer connector side of the cover;   wherein a portion of the flap is covered with the loops   
   
   
       8 . A construction system comprising:
 a plurality of covers each having a cushion side, a connector side of the cover having a hook and loop attachment system wherein a first portion of the connector side is covered with hooks and a second portion of the connector side is covered with loops;   wherein each of the plurality of covers is attached to a cushion and the first portion of the connector side covered with hooks on a first cushion is coupled to the second portion of the connector side covered with loops on a second cushion.   
   
   
       9 . The construction system of  claim 8  wherein the areas of the covers that cover edges of the cushions include the first portions of the connector sides that are covered with hooks and the second portions of the connector sides that are covered with loops. 
   
   
       10 . The construction system of  claim 8  wherein areas of the covers that correspond to edges of the cushions include the first portions of the connector sides that are covered with hooks and the second portion of the connector sides that are covered with loops. 
   
   
       11 . The construction system of  claim 8  wherein the securing mechanism includes an elongated strap having a first surface covered with hooks. 
   
   
       12 . The construction system of  claim 8  wherein the securing mechanism includes an elastic material that is stretched around the cushion. 
   
   
       13 . The construction system of  claim 8  wherein the securing mechanism includes a way stretch fabric which secures at least a portion of the cover around the cushion. 
   
   
       14 . A cover comprising:
 a open end for inserting the cushion;   an inner surface of the cover that contacts the cushion;   an outer surface of the cover having an attachment system wherein a first portion of the outer side is covered with hooks and a second portion of the outer side is covered with loops; and   a securing mechanism coupled to the cover for securing the cover around the cushion.   
   
   
       15 . The cover of  claim 14  wherein an area of the cover that covers an edge of the cushion includes the first portion of the connector side is covered with hooks and the second portion of the connector side is covered with loops. 
   
   
       16 . The cover of  claim 14  wherein an area of the cover that covers front side of the cushion includes the first portion of the connector side is covered with hooks and the second portion of the connector side is covered with loops. 
   
   
       17 . The cover of  claim 14  wherein the securing mechanism includes an elongated strap having a first surface covered with hooks. 
   
   
       18 . The cover of  claim 14  wherein the securing mechanism includes an elastic material attached to the open end. 
   
   
       19 . The cover of  claim 14  wherein the securing mechanism includes a two way stretch fabric which secures at least a portion of the cover around the cushion. 
   
   
       20 . The cover of  claim 14  further comprising:
 a flap that extends from the outer connector side of the cover;   wherein a portion of the flap is covered with the hooks.
