This invention relates to a cover which serves as weather protection for the window of a vehicle such as the windshield of an automobile, truck, boat, or airplane.
When automobiles and other vehicles are stored outside, the windshields and other windows of the vehicle are exposed and can be subjected to damage and other problems caused by the weather. For example, hail storms can break the windshield and other windows, as well as causing damage to the body of the vehicle. During the winter, ice and snow can build upon the windows, thus requiring considerable scraping before the vehicle can be driven. In the summer, the sun shining through the windows can make the interior of the vehicle so hot that it is uncomfortable at best. In addition, the sunlight can cause the vehicle interior to fade and become discolored.
The present invention is directed to a windshield cover which has, as its primary goal, the elimination of the foregoing problems. More specifically, it is an important object of the invention to provide a windshield cover that can be quickly and easily applied to and removed from a vehicle window.
Another important object of the invention is to provide a windshield cover which can be applied either to the front or back window of virtually any vehicle.
A further object of the invention is to provide a windshield cover that can be removed while a person remains inside the vehicle. Accordingly, in inclement weather, it is not necessary to stand outside of the vehicle in order to remove the windshield cover.
An additional object of the invention is to provide a windshield cover of the character described which is securely held in place on the windshield and which can only be removed from the inside of the vehicle, thereby preventing the cover from being blown away or stolen.
Still another object of the invention is to provide, in a windshield cover of the character described, a unique system for holding the cover in place on the windshield.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide a windshield cover in which none of the parts are subject to rust or other damage from the weather.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a windshield cover of the character described which is simple and economical to construct and which can be conveniently and compactly stored when not in use.
Other and further objects of the invention, together with the features of novelty appurtenant thereto, will appear in the course of the following description.
