Abstract

Abstract A set of protective covers for vehicle components to be covered during repairs. The set consists of a seat cover plus supplementary pieces such as for example a steer-ing-wheel cover, a floor cover, and other pieces intended for protection or cleaning. The pieces belonging to one set are accommodated in sets in a pocket formed out of one of the pieces of the set or in a foldover.

Description

11 '1280519 l ¦ SET OF PROTECTIVE COVERS (SERVICE SET) 3 The invention concerns a set of protective covers for 4 vehicle components to be covered during repairs, said set consisting of a seat cover plus supplementary pieces such as 6 for example a steering-wheel cover, a floor cover, and other 7 pieces intended for protection or cleaning.

9 A set of protective covers of this type is usually called a service set. It is employed to cover up the essential 11 interior components and protect them from dirt while vehi-12 cles are being repaired in shops. Usually belonging to such 13 a set are at least one seat cover along with other pieces 14 such as for example a steering-wheel cover and a floor cover, and these are spread over the vehicle components to 16 be protected.

18 Packing sets of this type in pouches, which then have to 19 opened before use, is known. The pouches that the pieces are packed in are not used further and are thrown out with the 21 tra~h. Packages consisting of pouches that can be opened and 22 cloced by means of a snap for example are also known.

i 23 24 The object of the invention is to simplify keeping and handling a supply of service sets in such a way that a 26 complete set can be extracted from the supply when used.
27 Since packaging material will be saved and manufacture made 28 less expensive by means of extensive automation, a complete service set can be distributed cost-effectively.

,' .

~80519 1 This object is attained in accordance with the invention in 2 that the pieces belonging to one set are accommodated in 3 sets in a pocket formed out of one of the pieces of the set 4 or in a foldover. since a service set of this type includes no superfluous pieces such as a package, it will be simple 6 to handle and, as said, inexpensive to manufacture and 7 distribute.

9 It is practical for the bags created by one protec-tive-covering piece to be fastened together, in such a way 11 that they can be separated, by perforations, to accommodate 12 the other pieces in the set, and to be capable of being 13 wrapped up into a supply roll. A supply roll of this type is 14 especially appropriate for shop operations because one set can be torn off the roll as needed and will contain all its 16 requisite pieces.

18 The bags created from the protective-cover piece can, 19 however, alternatively be piled into a supply stack along with the interior pieces of the set. Service sets of this 21 type can be supplied individually to the consumer.

23 It is practical for the pieces belonging to each set to be 24 piled on top of the seat cover to make up a complete set, with a number of such sets fastened together at perforations 26 into a supply roll that they can be torn off from as needed 27 and unpacked in accordance with their application. Since the 28 seat cover is usually the largest piece in a set, it will 29 readily accommodate the other pieces. Seat covers have l ¦ foldovers d/or pockets that will acc _ date the oeher , ~280S~
1 pieces in a set. The other pieces can be inserted mechan-2 ically when the seat covers are manufactured.

4 It is, however, alternatively possible to fold the floor cover together into a pocket and to accommodated the other 6 pieces in the set therein.

8 The theory behind the invention allows for several potential 9 embodiments. Some will now be described with reference to the attached drawings, wherein 12 Figure 1 is a perspective view of a partly un-13 wrapped supply roll consisting of seat covers, 14 each with two pockets, whereby separately illus-trated floor and steering-wheel covers can be 16 accommodated in one or both pockets, 18 Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 but with 19 the supply roll consisting of a series of attached seat covers that have only one pocket or foldover, 21 to be draped over the backrest, along one longi-22 tudinal edge, 24 Figure 3 is a similar view of a supply roll consisting like the one illustrated in Figure 1 26 out of seat covers and already provided with floor 27 covers and steering-wheel covers, whereby the 28 floor cover and steering-wheel cover are piled 29 losely on the seat cover and secured only by the layers of the roll, ~280519 l Fig~lre 4 illustrates a supply roll like that 2 illustrated in Figure 3 but in which the floor 3 cover and steering-wheel cover are both inserted 4 into one pocket, 6 Figure 5 illustrates a supply roll consisting of 7 seat covers that are folded longitudinally, with 8 the other pieces in the set inserted between the 9 longitudinal foldover and a filling foldover, and 11 Figure 6 illustrates a supply roll consisting of 12 pockets that are later to be separated and torn, 13 open in order to create a floor cover.

16 One service set consists of a seat cover 2 and of other 17 pieces such as for example a steering-wheel cover, a floor 18 cover, etc. A number of these can be combined into a supply 19 roll or stack to constitute an inventory or retail packages for u~e in shops or for sale to consumers.

22 Other pieces can of course also be included in the set. The i 23 seat covers can have one or more pockets and may or may not 24 have perforations for a headrest. What is called a compact roll, on which a large number of service sets or seat covers 26 can be rolled and from which they can be separated as needed 27 at perforations, is practical for storage.

29 The supply roll 1 illustrated in Figure 1 consists of a 30 ¦¦ serleY o tlat-folded ~eat covers 2 of plastic ~heeting `

i 1l~80~i19 1 fastened together with a transverse perforated weld 10, The 2 individual seat covers 2 are very easy to separate from each 3 other. The ends of the seat covers, or the longitudinal 4 edges of the rolled-up web, in this embodiment have a foldover 5 and 6. Foldovers 5 and 6 create pockets for 6 draping the cover over the front edge and over the backrest 7 of a seat. The embodiment illustrated in Figure 2 has a 8 foldover 5 only along one side for draping over the back-9 rest, with the other end hanging loose over the seat.
11 Figure 4 illustrates a seat cover similar to that illustrat-12 ed in Figure 1, with, however, the other pieces in the set, 13 specifically floor cover 11 and steering-wheel cover 12, 1 14 already inserted in a foldover pocket. The advantage is that, when a seat cover 2 is torn from supply roll 1, the 16 other pieces will be secured against loss on the pocket 17 created by foldover 5. In the simplest case, however, it is 18 alternatively possible just to pile the other pieces loosely 19 on the seat cover, so that they will be pressed tight between the layers of the roll when the covers are rolled 21 up.

23 In the embodiment illustrated in Figure 5, in which seat 24 covers 2 are folded, the other pieces in the set can also be inserted into the fold. It is practical for the seat covers 26 to have a filler foldover to keep the roll equally thick at 27 each end.

29 Figure 6 illustrates another possibility. A pocket 13 is created from each floor cover with if necessary a ~805~L9 1 folded-over closure flap 14. A number of pocket 13 can be combined, separated by perforations 15 into web that is to 3 be wrapped up into a roll. The pocket is produced by weak 4 welded points parallel to perforations 15 that can be separated without damaging the material. Each pocket 13 can 6 contain a seat cover along with a ~teering-wheel cover and 7 other pieces.

9 Once the set has been inserted into the pocket, the in-sertion opening can be sealed, with another easy-to-release 11 welded point for example. Once the pocket has been emptied, 12 the sides are separated in such a way that the floor cover 13 that constituted the pocket will assume its operational form 14 and can be spread over the vehicle floor that is to be protected.

17 Other accessories for the set, like work gioves, head 18 coverings, drapes, and rags, can of course also be kept in 19 the pockets.

21 The individual pieces in a set, usually a seat cover 2, a 22 floor cover 11, and a steering-wheel cover 12, are in 23 themselves known and accordingly will not be described in 24 detail. It is practical for them to be manufactured out of sheet plastic. They can, however, of course also ~e man-26 ufactured out of other materiaIs such as paper etc. The seat 27 cover 2 can be manufactured in many different ways, produc-28 ing one or more pockets. They can if necessary have other 29 perforations in the vicinity of the backrest pocket to allow access for a headrest.

.' .

~ ;~805~9 1 The supply rolls are easy to handle because the seat covers 2 can be torn off individually as needed and accommodating the 3 other parts of the set, such as the floor cover and steer-4 ing-wheel cover. This is a special advantage in shop op-erations.
7 It is also possible to fold the floor cover up into a pocket 8 and for certain applications stitch-weld it together, 9 inserting the other pieces in the set-- the steering-wheel cover and the floor cover. A service set of this type can be 11 presented to the driver as he leaves the shop as is often 12 conventional for advertising purposes.

14 Since there will be no superfluous parts like packages or unused pouches, the level of trash will be kept low. No 16 special pouches will be necessary for packaging disassembled 17 motor-vehicle components surrendered to the driver as he 18 leaves the shop because they can be wrapped in the now 19 unused seat cover.
21 ~ A wide range of embodiments is basically possible, the 22 following by way of example:

24 a) seat covers folded in the middle into a compact supply roll with or without a filler foldover and with two 26 pockets, whereby the rest of the set is packed in one or 27 both pockets, lZ805~9 l b) a compact roll with or without a filler foldover and with 2 two pockets, whereby the other pieces are inserted loose 3 in the supply roll, S c) a wide roll of seat covers consisting of an unfolded web 6 of material with two pockets, whereby the other pieces of 8 the set are accommodated in one or both pockets, 9 d) a supply roll like that in c) but with the other pieces of the set inserted loose into the middl- of the roll, .

12 e) a supply roll of seat covers with one pocket contai~ning 13 the other pieces of the set, f) a supply roll like that in e) but with the other pieces 17 of the set inserted into the middle of the roll, 18 q) a supply roll consisting of pockets folded up out of a 20~ floor cover as illustrated in Figure 6, or .
