Backpack Cover Device

Abstract

A backpack cover device protects a backpack from contaminants, dirt, and debris during use. The device includes a sleeve having a closed bottom end and a peripheral wall extending from the closed bottom end defining an interior space. The peripheral wall defines an opening into the interior space. Each of a pair of spaced parallel slots extends through a back section of the peripheral wall for receiving a respective strap of a backpack therethrough. A pocket is coupled to an exterior surface of the peripheral wall. A flap is coupled to and extends from the peripheral wall. The flap is positionable to extend over and cover the opening into the interior space. A closure is coupled to the sleeve. The closure secures the flap to the peripheral wall in a closed position extending over the opening into the interior space.

1 . A backpack cover device comprising:
 a sleeve having a closed bottom end and a peripheral wall extending from said closed bottom end defining an interior space, said peripheral wall defining an opening into said interior space;   a pair of spaced parallel slots extending through a back section of said peripheral wall wherein each of said slots is configured for receiving a respective strap of a backpack therethrough when the backpack is positioned in said interior space;   a pocket coupled to an exterior surface of said peripheral wall;   a flap coupled to and extending from said peripheral wall, said flap being positionable to extend over and cover said opening into said interior space;   a closure coupled to said sleeve, said closure securing said flap to said peripheral wall in a closed position extending over said opening into said interior space; and   a slit extending through said flap wherein said slit is configured for receiving a handle of the backpack therethrough when the backpack is positioned in said interior space and said flap is extended over said opening into said interior space.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising said peripheral wall having a front section positioned opposite said back section, said front section having a height less than a height of said back section. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2 , further comprising said peripheral wall having an opposed pair of side sections extending between said back section and said front section, each said side section having a curved top edge extending between said back section and said front section. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 3 , further comprising said top edge of each said side section being convexly arcuate. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising said closure being complementary portions of hook and loop fastener. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 5 , further comprising said hook and loop fastener extending fully along a length of said opening into said interior space between opposite edges of said flap. 
     
     
         7 . (canceled) 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising each of said slots and said slit being reinforced by a respective liner. 
     
     
         9 . A backpack cover device comprising:
 a sleeve having a closed bottom end and a peripheral wall extending from said closed bottom end defining an interior space, said peripheral wall defining an opening into said interior space, said peripheral wall having a front section positioned opposite a back section, said front section having a height less than a height of said back section, said peripheral wall having an opposed pair of side sections extending between said back section and said front section, each said side section having a curved top edge extending between said back section and said front section, said top edge of each said side section being convexly arcuate;   a pair of spaced parallel slots extending through said back section of said peripheral wall wherein each of said slots is configured for receiving a respective strap of a backpack therethrough when the backpack is positioned in said interior space;   a plurality of pockets, each said pocket being coupled to an exterior surface of said peripheral wall;   a flap coupled to and extending from said peripheral wall, said flap being positionable to extend over and cover said opening into said interior space;   a closure coupled to said sleeve, said closure securing said flap to said peripheral wall in a closed position extending over said opening into said interior space, said closure being complementary portions of hook and loop fastener, said hook and loop fastener extending fully along a fully length of said opening into said interior space between opposite edges of said flap.   a slit extending through said flap wherein said slit is configured for receiving a handle of the backpack therethrough when the backpack is positioned in said interior space and said flap is extended over said opening into said interior space; and   each of said slots and said slit being reinforced by a respective liner.
