Abstract

An air cover device is disclosed for easily inflating, setting up, and removing a boat cover. The inflatable boat air cover device comprises a body component that is configured in a variety of shapes and includes a frame designed from a continuous pressurized air tube system. The device also comprises a plurality of individual inflatable tubes inserted into sleeves of the device for enhanced support. The boat cover can be attached and removed by one individual. The cover is secured to a boat or under a dry dock vessel via plurality of fasteners, such as but not limited to straps and snaps. Further, the device can be inflated and deflated via a battery-operated portable air compressor for ease and convenience.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An inflatable boat cover device comprising:
 a body component;   a continuous air system;   a plurality of inflatable air tubes;   a frame; and   a plurality of fasteners;   wherein each of said plurality of inflatable air tubes having a closeable threaded valve for inflation and deflation;   wherein each of said plurality of inflatable air tubes are selectively removable;   wherein said body component having a material selected from the group consisting of a marine grade vinyl material;   wherein said frame comprising said plurality of inflatable air tubes and said continuous air system for supporting said body component; and   further wherein said plurality of fasteners are a first series of exterior fasteners for securing said inflatable boat cover to a boat.   
     
     
         2 . The inflatable boat cover device of  claim 1 , wherein said plurality of inflatable air tubes are interlocking. 
     
     
         3 . The inflatable boat cover device of  claim 2 , wherein said material of said body component is waterproof. 
     
     
         4 . The inflatable boat cover device of  claim 3 , wherein said material of said body component is mildew resistant. 
     
     
         5 . The inflatable boat cover device of  claim 2 , wherein said plurality of fasteners are a second series of interior fasteners for securing said inflatable boat cover to the boat. 
     
     
         6 . The inflatable boat cover device of  claim 2 , wherein said body component having a selectively openable door. 
     
     
         7 . The inflatable boat cover device of  claim 6 , wherein said selectively openable door having a zipper for selectively fastening and unfastening said selectively openable door. 
     
     
         8 . The inflatable boat cover device of  claim 2 , wherein said continuous air system is a portable air compressor. 
     
     
         9 . The inflatable boat cover device of  claim 2 , wherein each of said plurality of inflatable air tubes span across an outer side of said body component from a first edge to an opposing second edge. 
     
     
         10 . An inflatable boat cover device comprising:
 a body component;   a continuous air system;   a plurality of inflatable air tubes;   a frame; and   a plurality of fasteners;   wherein each of said plurality of inflatable air tubes having a closeable threaded valve for inflation and deflation;   wherein each of said plurality of inflatable air tubes are selectively removable;   wherein said frame comprising said plurality of inflatable air tubes and said continuous air system for supporting said body component;   wherein said plurality of fasteners are a first series of exterior fasteners for securing said inflatable boat cover to a boat;   wherein said plurality of inflatable air tubes are interlocking; and   further wherein each of said plurality of inflatable air tubes span across an outer side of said body component from a first edge to an opposing second edge.   
     
     
         11 . The inflatable boat cover device of  claim 10 , wherein said body component having a material selected from the group consisting of a marine grade vinyl material, and further wherein said material of said body component is waterproof. 
     
     
         12 . The inflatable boat cover device of  claim 10 , wherein said body component having a material selected from the group consisting of a marine grade vinyl material, and further wherein said material of said body component is mildew resistant. 
     
     
         13 . The inflatable boat cover device of  claim 10 , wherein said plurality of fasteners are a second series of interior fasteners for securing said inflatable boat cover to the boat. 
     
     
         14 . The inflatable boat cover device of  claim 10 , wherein said body component having a selectively openable door. 
     
     
         15 . The inflatable boat cover device of  claim 14 , wherein said selectively openable door having a zipper for selectively fastening and unfastening said selectively openable door. 
     
     
         16 . The inflatable boat cover device of  claim 10 , wherein said continuous air system is a portable air compressor. 
     
     
         17 . A method of covering a boat with an inflatable boat cover, the method comprising the steps of:
 providing a body component, a continuous air system, a plurality of inflatable air tubes, a frame, and a plurality of fasteners, wherein each of said plurality of inflatable air tubes having a closeable threaded valve for inflation and deflation, further wherein said frame comprising said plurality of inflatable air tubes and said continuous air system for supporting said body component;   securing said inflatable boat cover to a boat with said plurality of fasteners including a first series of exterior fasteners;   spanning each of said plurality of inflatable air tubes across an outer side of said body component from a first edge to an opposing second edge; and   inflating said plurality of inflatable air tubes with said continuous air system.   
     
     
         18 . The method of covering a boat with an inflatable boat cover of  claim 17 , wherein said body component having a material selected from the group consisting of a marine grade vinyl material, and further wherein said material of said body component is mildew resistant. 
     
     
         19 . The method of covering a boat with an inflatable boat cover of  claim 17 , wherein said plurality of inflatable air tubes are interlocking, and further wherein each of said plurality of inflatable air tubes are selectively removable.
