Automobile seat covering system
View Patent ↗An automobile seat covering system has a cover sheet, a pouch configured for stowing the cover sheet and a headrest harness configured for attaching to a headrest. An attachment between the harness and the pouch is configured to allow the pouch to move relative to the harness to allow the pouch to transition over the headrest between front and rear surfaces of the headrest whilst the harness remains in place affixed to the headrest. As such, the pouch with cover sheet folded therein can be stored behind the seat, preferably across a rear surface of the headrest. When required for use the pouch can be easily moved over the top of the headrest so that attachment hangs the pouch across the front surface of the headrest without having to move or reconfigure the harness, thereby allowing the harness to remain securely affixed to the headrest.
1 . An automobile seat covering system comprising a cover sheet, a pouch configured for stowing the cover sheet and a harness configured for attaching to a headrest, wherein the system comprises an attachment between the harness and the pouch, the attachment configured to allow the pouch to move relative to the harness such that the pouch spans from a front surface and a rear surface of the headrest whilst the harness remains statically affixed to the headrest.
2 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the harness comprises a band having ends attachable together to loop over the band over the headrest.
3 . The system as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the band comprises a wide band portion which goes over the headrest and a narrow band portion which goes under the headrest.
4 . The system as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the ends have fastener pads which attach.
5 . The system as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the fastener pads run longitudinally along respective ends.
6 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pouch comprises a cover flap and a longer backing which folds against the flap and attaches thereto to define a pocket for the cover sheet.
7 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pouch comprises a purse sealed at three edges and defining an opening for the cover sheet.
8 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the system comprises a retainer web having a proximal end attached from the harness and a distal end attached from the pouch, the retainer web configurable to allow the pouch to flip over the headrest.
9 . The system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the harness is configured to secure the proximal end of the retainer web from a top of the headrest.
10 . The system as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the retainer web is configured to hang the pouch across a front surface of the headrest.
11 . The system as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the retainer web is configured to hang the pouch across a rear surface of the headrest.
12 . The system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the pouch comprises a cover flap and a longer backing which folds against the flap and attaches thereto to define a pocket for the cover sheet.
13 . The system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the pouch comprises a purse sealed at three edges and defining an opening for the cover sheet a cover flap and wherein the opening is orientated downwardly when the when the pouch is across the front surface of the headrest.
14 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the attachment is configured to allow the pouch to slide with respect to the harness between the front and rear surfaces of the headrest.
15 . The system as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the attachment comprises a slider band held by the harness to extend over the headrest between front and rear surfaces thereof and wherein the pouch comprises an engagement configured to slidably engage the slider band so that the pouch can slide between the front and rear surfaces.
16 . The system as claimed in claim 15 , wherein a slider band is held substantially taught by the harness over the headrest between front and rear surfaces of the headrest.
17 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cover sheet comprises a seat back covering portion and a seat base covering portion and wherein the cover sheet narrows between the seat back covering portion and the seat base covering portion.
18 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cover sheet is removably attachable from the pouch.
19 . The system as claimed in claim 18 , wherein the cover sheet comprises an attachable portion comprising fastener pads which attach to corresponding fastener pads of a corresponding attachment portion of the pouch.
20 . A method of covering a seat using the system as claimed in claim 1 , the method comprising attaching the harness to the headrest and moving the pouch from behind the headrest to in front of the headrest using the attachment without moving or repositioning the harness.
