Anti-slip protective cover

Abstract

Disclosed herein is an anti-slip protective cover. The anti-slip protective cover includes a first layer formed of a protective material and a second layer formed of an anti-slip material. The anti-slip protective cover also includes a connection binding the first layer to the second layer at at least one location on the interior portion. The connective material may be arranged in a plurality of strips extending across a portion of the interior portion of the anti-slip material and the protective material. The connective material may traverse the interior portion from a first portion of the peripheral region to a second portion of the peripheral region.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An anti-slip protective cover comprising:
 a first layer formed of a protective material having a peripheral region surrounding an interior portion; and   a second layer formed of an anti-slip material having a peripheral region surrounding an interior portion, wherein the first layer is fused to the second layer at a plurality of locations defining a quilted connection.   
     
     
         2 . The anti-slip protective cover of  claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of fused locations are spaced from one another in which the first layer and the second layer are unattached to each other. 
     
     
         3 . The anti-slip protective cover of  claim 2 , wherein at least some of the plurality of fused locations form a plurality of lines making a quilted pattern. 
     
     
         4 . The anti-slip protective cover of  claim 3 , wherein the quilted pattern is arranged in intervals extending across a portion of the interior portion of the anti-slip material and the protective material. 
     
     
         5 . The anti-slip protective cover of  claim 3 , wherein the quilted pattern traverses the interior portion from a first portion of the peripheral region to a second portion of the peripheral region. 
     
     
         6 . The anti-slip protective cover of  claim 3 , wherein the quilted pattern traverses the interior portion having the plurality of lines extending in two different directions. 
     
     
         7 . The anti-slip protective cover of  claim 1 , wherein the protective material comprises a plurality of different panels extending from a central region operable to extend over a seat portion, a back portion, and arm portions of a chair or couch. 
     
     
         8 . The anti-slip protective cover of  claim 1 , wherein anti-slip material extends substantially co-extensive with the protective material. 
     
     
         9 . The anti-slip protective cover of  claim 1 , wherein the first layer is folded back on itself over the second layer prior to fusing the two layers together proximal to the peripheral region. 
     
     
         10 . A method of manufacturing the anti-slip protective cover of  claim 1  comprising:
 forming each of the fuses between the first layer and the second layer by applying high frequency sound waves between the first layer and the second layer. 
 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10  further comprising:
 applying pressure between the first layer and the second layer during the application of the high frequency sound waves. 
 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the pressure is applied between the first layer and the second layer via opposing rollers.
