The prim-ary object of this invention is the zip pocket Where the mechanic, while working on the engine, may place 4his tools on top of the pocket and when not in use he can put his particularly small tools inside the pocket, close same with zipper and lock it, if he so desires.
Referring to the drawings:
FIG. l is a pictorial View illustrating the use of my device on a front fender of an automobile.
FIG. 2 is a plan view Iof the fender pad partly broken away and illustrating the zipper pocket partly open.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged view showing a portion of the zipper pocket lin closed position 4and showing means of locking.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-section taken along the line 4 4 of F IG. 2.
FIG. 5 is an enlarged detail section taken along the line 5 5 of FIG. 2.
Referring `more particularly to the drawings in which similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the dilerent views numeral represents generally a pad which can be placed on a fender 12 of an automobile 14. Pad 10 is normally used to protect the fender while a mechanic is working on the automobile engine.
As illustrated in the drawings pad 10 is composed of a base sheet of foam rubber 16 upon which is stitched as shown at 18 an upper layer of vinyl material 20. Pad 10 is reotangul-arly shaped having upper and lower edges 22 and 24 respectively and side edges 26 and 28. A loop 30 is shown Xed to the center of side 28 for hanging the pad when not in use.

Although I have shown and described an :auto fender cover, it will be obvious to those who will notice the construction of my invention that it contains a few simple but practical improvements, which is easily manufactured, and will be placed in the market yat a minimum cost.
It will be understood that the above description and accompanying drawings are complete t-o my knowledge.
