Abstract

A slipcover fabricated from a waterproof material, wherein the slipcover is configured to closely fit over a furniture cushion. The slipcover is fabricated from a composite textile comprising a first layer fabricated from a water-resistant textile sheeting, and a second layer fabricated from a waterproof layer. The second layer resides along an inner surface of the first layer. The first layer is preferably fabricated from hydrophobic yarns, while the second layer is preferably fabricated from polyurethane laminate fabric. A slipcover systems is also provided.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim: 
     
         1 . A slipcover, comprising:
 a first layer fabricated from a water-resistant textile sheeting; and   a second layer fabricated from a waterproof layer and residing along an inner surface of the first layer;   and wherein:
 the first layer serves an outer surface, while the second layer is configured to reside between the first layer and a furniture cushion; and 
 the second layer is attached to the first layer so as to form distinct layers of a composite textile material as an integral slipcover. 
   
     
     
         2 . The slipcover of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the slipcover is configured to closely fit over the furniture cushion; and   the first layer and the second layer are connected by sewn threads.   
     
     
         3 . The slipcover of  claim 2 , wherein the second layer is fabricated from polyurethane laminate fabric. 
     
     
         4 . The slipcover of  claim 3 , wherein the first layer is fabricated from hydrophobic yarns. 
     
     
         5 . The slipcover of  claim 4 , wherein the hydrophobic yarns are fabricated from synthetic fibers. 
     
     
         6 . The slipcover of  claim 5 , wherein the synthetic fibers comprise polyester, polypropylene, nylon, or combinations thereof. 
     
     
         7 . The slipcover of  claim 5 , wherein the first layer is fabricated from waxed cotton. 
     
     
         8 . The slipcover of  claim 4 , wherein:
 the first layer and the second layer together have an elasticity, allowing the slipcover to be stretched over the furniture cushion.   
     
     
         9 . The slipcover of  claim 8 , wherein the first layer is a textile formed from a plurality of yarns comprising cotton yarns and microfiber yarns. 
     
     
         10 . The slipcover of  claim 8 , wherein the first layer is treated with a sulfonic acid material. 
     
     
         11 . The slipcover of  claim 8 , wherein the slipcover is a concave three-dimensional object having an elastic trim to closely and removably receive the furniture cushion, or a draw string about a periphery to closely and removably receive the furniture cushion. 
     
     
         12 . The slipcover of  claim 8 , further comprising a third layer attached to the second layer opposite the first layer, with the third layer comprising air-laid polymeric material held together by means of a binder. 
     
     
         13 . A slipcover system, comprising:
 a first slipcover configured to closely fit around a first cushion of an item of furniture, and   a second slipcover configured to closely fit around a second cushion of the item of furniture; and   wherein each of the first and second slipcovers comprises:
 a first layer fabricated from a water-resistant textile sheeting, 
 a second layer fabricated from a waterproof layer, and 
 the first layer serves an outer surface, while the second layer is attached to the first layer and is configured to reside between the first layer and a furniture cushion. 
   
     
     
         14 . The slipcover system of  claim 13 , wherein the second layer of each slipcover is fabricated from polyurethane laminate fabric. 
     
     
         15 . The slipcover system of  claim 14 , wherein the first layer of each slipcover is fabricated from hydrophobic yarns. 
     
     
         16 . The slipcover system of  claim 15 , wherein the synthetic fibers comprise polyester, polypropylene, nylon, or combinations thereof. 
     
     
         17 . The slipcover system of  claim 13 , wherein the first layer of each slipcover is fabricated from waxed cotton. 
     
     
         18 . The slipcover system of  claim 13 , wherein:
 the first layer and the second layer of each cushion together have an elasticity, allowing the slipcover to be stretched over the respective first and second furniture cushions.   
     
     
         19 . The slipcover system of  claim 18 , wherein the first layer of each slipcover is a textile formed from a plurality of yarns comprising cotton yarns and microfiber yarns. 
     
     
         20 . The slipcover system of  claim 18 , wherein each slipcover defines a concave three-dimensional object having an elastic trim or a draw string to closely and removably receive the furniture cushion.
