Abstract

A cover assembly internally supported by a removable irregular object provides a seating apparatus. A top cover and a bottom cover are separated allowing access to the object within. A cushion assembly conforms to the irregular upper surface of the object forming a generally uniform top surface for the cover assembly. Foam structural supports in the corners of the cover assembly provide additional structural support and padding. A back support provides support for a person sitting on the cover assembly.

wherein the irregular bottom surface is adapted to compliment the first irregular surface.

2 . The cover assembly of claim 1 , wherein the deformable material includes an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein the upper portion has a peripheral edge that extends beyond the edges of the lower portion.

3 . The cover assembly of claim 2 , wherein:

the lower portion extends between a left end and a right end defining a width, a front end and a back end defining a depth, and a top end and a bottom end defining a thickness; and

wherein the left end is crescent shaped and the right end is crescent shaped.

4 . The cover assembly of claim 3 , wherein:

the left end crescent tapers outward from the bottom end to the top end; and

the right end crescent tapers outward from the bottom end to the top end.

5 . The cover assembly of claim 4 , wherein:

the left end crescent shaped taper extends from a broad middle portion to a narrow end portion at the front end and the back end; and

the right end crescent shaped taper extends from a broad middle portion to a narrow end portion at the front end and the back end.

6 . The cover assembly of claim 1 , wherein:

the top cover assembly forms a downwardly open rectangular enclosure forming four corners;

a corner support disposed within each top cover corner;

the bottom cover assembly forms an upwardly open rectangular enclosure forming four corners; and

a corner support disposed within each bottom cover corner.

7 . The cover assembly of claim 6 , wherein:

the cushion assembly is disposed between the top cover corner supports and the upper panel.

8 . The cover assembly of claim 1 , further comprising:

a back support portion forming an upper chamber at the top cover upper panel; and

a wedge assembly received within the upper chamber.

9 . A cover assembly for an object with an upper surface including a positive relief and a negative relief, comprising:

a top cover assembly, comprising:

an upper panel;

sidewalls depending therefrom forming a rectangular enclosure with four interior corners; and

a pocket at each interior corner;

a bottom cover assembly, comprising:

a lower panel;

sidewalls extending therefrom forming a rectangular enclosure with four interior corners; and

a pocket at each interior corner;

a corner support disposed within each interior corner pocket;

a cushion assembly within the top cover assembly, comprising:

a pad assembly adjacent the upper panel including an irregular bottom surface depending therefrom;

wherein the cushion assembly is disposed between the top cover corner supports and the upper panel; and

wherein the irregular bottom surface is adapted to compliment the object upper surface.

10 . The cover assembly of claim 9 , wherein the corner pocket comprises:

a corner cover extending laterally between adjacent sidewalls;

wherein the top cover assembly corner pockets include a lower cap at the lower point of the sidewall whereby the top cover corner pockets form an upwardly open pocket for receiving the lower support; and

wherein the bottom cover assembly corner pockets include an upper cap at the upper point of the sidewall whereby the bottom cover pockets form a downwardly open pocket for receiving the corner support.

11 . The cover assembly of claim 10 , wherein:

the pad assembly further comprises:

an upper portion;

a lower portion; and

wherein the upper portion has a peripheral edge that extends beyond the edges of the lower portion.

12 . The cover assembly of claim 11 , wherein:

the pad assembly upper portion is formed to conform to the positive relief; and

the pad assembly lower portion is formed to conform to the negative relief.

13 . The cover assembly of claim 12 , wherein the pad assembly cover portion comprises:

a width extending between a crescent shaped left end and a crescent shaped right end;

a depth extending between a front end and a back end; and

a thickness extending between a front end and a back end.

14 . The cover assembly of claim 13 , wherein:

the left end crescent tapers outward from the bottom end to the top end; and

the right end crescent tapers outward from the bottom end to the top end.

15 . The cover assembly of claim 14 , wherein:

the left end crescent shaped taper extends from a broad middle portion to a narrow end portion at the front end and the back end; and

the right end crescent shaped taper extends from a broad middle portion to a narrow end portion at the fort end and the back end.

16 . The cover assembly of claim 9 , further comprising:

a back support portion forming an upper chamber at the top cover upper panel; and

a wedge assembly received within the upper chamber, the wedge assembly comprising:

a bottom face extending laterally between a left face and a right face, and rearward toward a rear face;

the rear face extending upward generally perpendicular from the bottom face between the left and right faces, terminating at a top face;

the top face extending forward from the rear face generally parallel to the bottom face between the left and right faces, terminating at a front face;

the front face extending upward from the bottom face at an acute angle to the bottom face, between the left face and the right face, upward to the top face; and

wherein, the body tapers from a wide lower portion to a narrow upper portion.

17 . A cover assembly for an object with an upper surface including a positive relief and a negative relief, comprising:

a top cover assembly, comprising:

an upper panel;

sidewalls depending therefrom forming a rectangular enclosure with four interior corners; and

a pocket at each interior corner;

a bottom cover assembly, comprising:

a lower panel;

sidewalls extending therefrom forming a rectangular enclosure with four interior corners; and

a pocket at each interior corner;

a corner support disposed within each interior corner pocket;

a cushion assembly within the top cover assembly, comprising:

a pad assembly adjacent the upper panel including an irregular bottom surface depending therefrom;

wherein the cushion assembly is disposed between the top cover corner supports and the upper panel;

wherein the irregular bottom surface is adapted to compliment the object upper surface;

a back support portion forming an upper chamber at the top cover upper panel; and

a wedge assembly received within the upper chamber, the wedge assembly comprising:
