Non-slip vehicle seat covering
An apparatus and associated methodology contemplating a non-slip cover apparatus for a vehicle seat. The non-slip cover has a front fabric panel having an exposed outer surface in operable contact with the user and an inner surface having an elastomeric member in operable contact with the vehicle seat. A rear fabric panel is sewn to the front fabric panel forming a cavity therebetween to receivingly engage the vehicle seat in a close mating relationship.
1. A non-slip cover apparatus for a vehicle seat, comprising:
a front fabric panel having an exposed outer surface in operable contact with the user and an inner surface having attached thereto an elastomeric protuberance in operable contact against the vehicle seat; and
a rear fabric panel attached to the front fabric panel forming a cavity therebetween to receivingly engage the vehicle seat in a close mating relationship.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the inner surface is stippled with a plurality of the elastomeric protuberances.
3. The apparatus of claim 2 wherein the elastomeric protuberances form a substantially uniformly distributed pattern on the inner surface.
4. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein the elastomeric protuberances form an array of substantially round dots on the inner surface.
5. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein the elastomeric protuberances form elongated protuberances.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the elastomeric protuberance comprises a constituent selected from the group consisting of rubber, silicone, nylon, and polyurethane.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 comprising a strap connected to at least one of the front and rear panels and configured for securing the respective panel to the vehicle seat.
8. The apparatus of claim 7 wherein the strap comprises an elastic loop.
9. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the front fabric panel comprises a neoprene material.
10. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the front fabric panel comprises a spacer fabric material.
11. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the front fabric panel comprises a neoprene material layer joined to a spacer fabric material layer.
12. The apparatus of claim 11 wherein the spacer fabric material layer comprises a warp knitted spacer fabric material.
13. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the rear fabric panel comprises a nylon knit material.
14. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein the rear fabric panel comprises an elastomeric constituent.
15. The apparatus of claim 14 wherein the rear fabric panel comprises spandex.
16. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the front and rear fabric panels are sewn together to form an opening configured for passing a headrest portion of the vehicle seat therethrough.
17. The apparatus of claim 1 comprising a unitarily-constructed cover having a seat cushion cover portion and a seat backrest cover portion.
18. A method for covering a vehicle seat, comprising:
obtaining a non-slip cover having a front fabric panel with an exposed outer surface and an inner surface having attached thereto a patterned plurality of elastomeric protuberance members, and the cover having a rear fabric panel attached to the front fabric panel forming a cavity therebetween; and
inserting the vehicle seat into the cavity so that the patterned plurality of elastomeric protuberance members contact against the vehicle seat.
19. A cover for a vehicle seat, comprising:
a front fabric panel having an exposed outer surface in operable contact with the user and an inner surface having attached thereto a patterned plurality of elastomeric protuberance members in operable contact against the vehicle seat; and
a rear fabric panel attached to the front fabric panel forming a cavity therebetween to receivingly engage the vehicle seat in a close mating relationship.
20. A non-slip cover apparatus for a vehicle seat, comprising:
a synthetic polymer front fabric panel having an exposed outermost surface in operable contact with the user;
an innermost inner surface having attached thereto a patterned plurality of elastomeric protuberance members in operable contact with the vehicle seat and
a spacer-layer fabric sandwiched between the outermost and innermost surfaces; and
a resilient rear fabric panel attached to the front fabric panel forming a cavity therebetween to receivingly engage the vehicle seat in a close mating relationship.
