Abstract

Accordingly, compared to the hitherto cover (1); cover for passenger vehicle (10) in accordance to the present invention (10a) is divided into two or three. At the end, handling is facilitated due to the small size of each front cover, mid cover and rear cover. Accordingly, one person can either cover or uncover. Moreover, by fixing end part of front cover by using permanent magnetic, installation is facilitated since mere attachment is required. Any user can handle with relative ease since no special precaution is required. In particular, due to each see-through window, not existent on hitherto cover, information pertaining to vehicle, that is, vehicle number or vehicle proprietor's contact number can be discerned with ease, and the inside the vehicle can be examined with ease. Moreover, due to the selective covering of the front cover (11) at the front part of vehicle, user convenience increases since it is possible to cover only the front part if and when covering of entire vehicle is not required. Moreover, if and when parts or entire cover is damaged or torn when it pertains to hitherto cover (1), it was necessary to eliminate the entire cover (1) and purchase new one. However, the cover (10) (10a) of the present invention can be purchased in parts, which result in lower price.

Field of the Invention:

The present invention relates to the cover that protects the outer surface of the passenger vehicle so that it can prevent contamination of passenger vehicle by dust, yellow sand and rainwater, in particular during the summer when the cover curtails increase in temperate in the inside caused by heat from the sun.

Moreover, the present invention protects against large flakes of snow and rainwater during winter so that glass window will be mist-free.

Description of the Prior Art:

In more detail, cover for passenger vehicle, composed into single unit without distinguishing the front and rear parts shall be formed by dividing into front cover and rear cover or front cover, mid cover and rear cover. In case of small and medium sized passenger vehicle, covering shall be performed so that the end part of rear cover overlaps with the end part of front cover after covering the front cover onto the front part of vehicle although rear cover covers the rear of vehicle. In case of large passenger vehicle, mid cover is used to cover the center part after covering with the front cover and rear cover. User can cover or uncover by oneself.

Handling is facilitated by simplifying composition of cover. See-through window is formed to enable discernment of vehicle registration plate from the outside.

To enable one to see inside the vehicle, one side of the cover is formed with see-through window and see-through window for verification of the interior for instruction sign. At the end part of entire cover, string for attachment with built-in magnetic shall be formed to enable easy attachment onto the external surface of the vehicle based on the use of magnetic. Hook, formed as single unit with rubber band, shall be attached onto the lower part of front cover, rear cover and mid cover to uplift cover for passenger vehicle that enables hanging onto the edge of vehicle frame/body's lower part.

In general, cover for passenger vehicle is used to cover vehicle's front and rear parts, side, roof etc. Accordingly, it protects against snow and frost during winter. At the same time, it prevents frosting caused by humidity. During summer, it blocks hot direct sunlight, which protects the vehicle's interior from the heat.

Moreover, as mentioned, the outer cover protection of the vehicle blocks direct sunlight during nighttime or when vehicle is parked for a long period of time. Therefore, inflammable materials inside the vehicle are protected.

As depicted on the attached Figure 1, hitherto cover for passenger vehicle (1) is formed as single unit with a form that is similar to the external appearance of passenger vehicle. String (2) is comprised onto the lower part of cover (1), tying at the lower side of vehicle frame/body. The above mentioned hitherto cover is inconvenient in the sense that separate writing tools such as magic marker shall be used to write down the number of vehicle at the front and rear part of vehicle or to write down the contact number of vehicle proprietor in order to distinguish vehicle. Moreover, bulk of cover (1) is larger than the vehicle' s area of external surface, which require at least two (2) people as one (1) team per two (2) people. Moreover, folding cover (1) with large bulk is highly inconvenient when uncovered cover (1) is folded for easy storage.
