Abstract

An automatic car cover system, driven by electric motors, for a car, which is equipped with an automatic opening/closing trunk lid, is provided. The automatic car cover system according to current application is comprised of one cover runner, one holster, one holster casing, one guide, one cover sheet, and one cover sheet un-folder. The cover runner is a small electric motor driven vehicle equipped with caterpillars, which are comprised of magnetic plates covered with rubber. The holster pushes out/rewinds the cover runner, the guide, and the cover sheet with un-folder. The holster comes out of and goes into trunk of the car with aid of a line connected to a reverse power motor installed in the holster.

Claims (18)

1. An automatically deploying car cover system for a car equipped with an automatic opening and closing truck, the system comprising:

a cover runner comprised of an upper panel, two endless tracks, a front cross shaft, a rear cross shaft, a power transfer shaft and a first motor;

wherein the endless tracks are comprised of one or more square plates of anisotropic permanent magnets;

a guide comprised of a plurality of interconnected members, wherein said guide is connected to said cover runner;

a cover sheet,

wherein said cover sheet is connected to said cover runner;

a cover sheet deploying means,

wherein said cover sheet deploying means is connected to said cover runner and said cover sheet; and

a holster comprised of a storage portion and a second motor,

wherein said storage portion is configured to receive and deploy said cover runner, guide, cover sheet and cover sheet deploying means.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein each of said one or more square plates of anisotropic permanent magnets has a magnetic flux density of greater than 7000 Gauss.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein each endless track of said two endless tracks is comprised of a conveyer belt, wherein said conveyer belt is comprised of a rubbery polymer forming a circular band shape.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein said conveyer belt is further comprised of a plurality of evenly spaced cells.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein said conveyer belt is further comprised of a plurality of slits, wherein each slit of said plurality of slits is located in a space existing in between each of said evenly spaced cells.

6. The system of claim 4 wherein each cell of said plurality of evenly spaced cells is comprised of one or more square plates of the anisotropic permanent magnets.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein said first motor and said second motor are configured to operate in conjunction with one another to enable deployment and refraction of said cover sheet.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein said guide is configured to assist in the deployment and retraction of said cover sheet.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein said holster is configured to be received within the trunk of a car.
