Description
- The present invention generally relates to fabric protection, and more particularly, to an apparatus for reducing accidental damage to seat material.
- There are some basic risks to automobile owners having children that use car seats. For example, increased wear on an automobile's seat can be caused from children accidentally spilling liquids or dropping food onto an automobile's seat. Candy and gum can be dropped onto a seat and leave permanent damage to the seat's material. Additionally, liquids such as milk or formula can leave a pungent odor within a vehicle and lead to undesired bacteria growth. Further, increased wear damage to a seat's material may be realized leading to a need to replace or repair such materials.
- Such mishaps can leave an automobile owner with having to repeatedly clean a vehicle's seat depending on the type of spill. For example, some automobile owners may have an added expensive of having a seat professionally cleaned to remove stubborn stains or food articles that can not be easily removed.
- One current solution for containing mishaps includes placing a towel or cloth across a portion of a car seat to catch spills and mishandled foods. However, most towels are not large enough to protect a seat and can move out of place during travels. Additionally, a towel or cloth placed over a seat may limit access to seat belts for securing passengers and/or child safety seats. Even more, a towel or cloth may not provide protection against abrasive items, such as a child's safety seat, and may lead to wholes or chaffing of an automobile's seat material. From the above discussion it should be apparent that there is a need for a protective device for reducing accidental damage to fabrics or materials.
- In accordance with teachings of the invention, an apparatus for reducing accidental damage to seat material is disclosed. According to one embodiment of the invention, an apparatus includes a protective cover having a layer of material for covering a portion of a seat to protect the seat and a coupling element operable to couple the protective cover to a portion of the seat. The apparatus further includes at least one support element coupled to a portion of the material to provide vertical support of the material to cover a portion of the seat.
- According to another embodiment of the invention, an apparatus for providing protection to a material associated with a vehicle seat is provided. The apparatus includes a protective material operable to be coupled to a portion of a vehicle seat and includes at least one layer operable to protect the vehicle seat. The apparatus further includes a removable storage compartment coupled to a portion of the protective material and operable to store articles.
- According to a further embodiment of the invention, an apparatus for providing protection to material associated with a vehicle seat is disclosed. The apparatus includes a protective cover including a first layer having an upper portion associated with protecting an upper portion of a vehicle seat. The apparatus further includes a storage compartment coupled to the upper portion of the first layer and positioned substantially medial along the upper portion of the protective cover.

strap material 310 with a Velcro-like material 311 may be used to couple a protective cover to a portion of a vehicle. For example, Velcro-like material 311 may be coupled to a rear deck of a vehicle (not expressly shown) that may include a material (i.e. carpet, fabric, Velcro) operable to couple with a Velcro-like material and securely fasten a protective cover. - In a further embodiment, coupling element may include a
strap material 316 withsnaps 317 for coupling a portion of a protective to aheadrest 315. In this manner, a protective cover may be used in association with seats that may have a headrest. - Although embodiments for coupling a protective seat cover are disclosed, other embodiments for coupling a protective cover to a portion of a vehicle seat may be realized without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, a protective cover may include an edge fastening material such as an elastic material coupled along an edge of a protective cover to securely couple the protective cover to a portion of a vehicle seat. In this manner, a protective cover may be stretched to fit various portions of a vehicle seat.
- FIG. 4 illustrates a flow diagram of a method for ordering a protective cover according to one embodiment of the invention. The method begins generally at
step 400. At step 401 a request to purchase a protective cover is received via a virtual terminal such as a consumer website or other user interface. Upon receiving a request to purchase a protective cover, the method proceeds to step 402 where vehicle information for a protective cover is received. For example, certain vehicles may have unique details that may need to be accounted for prior to placing an order for a protective cover for a specific vehicle. A rear seat may be a particular size, shape, number/size of headrests, rounded corners, rear decking material (i.e. decking area behind a seat), and/or other information unique to a vehicle. - The method then proceeds to step403 where the method determines color information for an interior portion of a vehicle. For example, a user may have a vehicle with tan interior and may desire a protective cover with a color substantially similar to tan. In another embodiment, a user may want to view an assortment of colors that may match an interior portion of a vehicle. For example, a user may want to order a reversible seat cover having a particular pattern that matches the interior. As such, a user may select a color and/or pattern for one side of the protective cover and a second color or pattern for a second side of the protective cover.
- Upon receiving color information, the method proceeds to step404 where the method proceeds to determine the size/type of cover to be used based on the vehicle information (i.e. 48″ width for a minivan, 54″ width for a mid-sized sport utility vehicle, 60″ width for a full-sized truck or sport utility vehicle, or other non-standard sizes). For example, a user may request a protective cover for a particular sport utility vehicle. As such, the method would determine which cover to use with the particular model of sport utility vehicle based on the dimensions of a seat for the sport utility vehicle. For example, a user may request a reversible seat cover for use with a front seat with one side having a solid color and a second side having a print or pattern. Other embodiments may include requesting a cover having the same color on each side.
- Upon determining the size and color, the method proceeds to determine
availability 405 of the requested protective cover. For example, the method may determine a model number associated with the requested cover and check an inventory level based on the model number. In another embodiment, the method may include accessing a relational database to determine availability of a product based on the size and color of a product thereby reducing the need to determine a model number. Other embodiments may also be used for determining availability of a product. - Upon determining availability of a product, the method proceeds to step406 and the order is processed based on availability of the requested protective cover. For example, if a protective cover is available, the method fills the order and initiates shipping the protective cover to the requesting user using the users shipping information (not expressly shown). If the protective cover is not in inventory, the method would proceed to backorder the product for the user. In one embodiment, if a protective cover is not currently being manufactured, the method may initiate a request for a custom protective cover to be built. Upon processing the order, the method proceeds to step 407 where the method ends.
- FIG. 5 illustrates a removable storage compartment coupled to a portion of a protective cover for housing articles according to one embodiment of the invention. A protective cover, illustrated generally at500, includes a
first coupling material 501 for use with aremovable storage compartment 503.Protective cover 500 may be a lower portion of a protective cover or other portions of a protective cover.Removable storage compartment 503 may be coupled toprotective cover 500 usingcoupling material 501 that may include a Velcro-like material or other coupling mechanisms. For example,coupling elements 502 may be used to coupleremovable storage compartment 503 to a portion ofprotective cover 500 and may include, but are not limited to, snaps, hooks, Velcro-like material or other coupling elements that may be used to couple a removable storage compartment to protective cover. - Although the disclosed embodiments have been described in detail, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations could be made to the embodiments without departing from their spirit and scope.
