A vehicle cover blow-off prevention system for holding down a vehicle cover to prevent it from blowing off during windy conditions. The system includes tire mats configured to support a tire of the vehicle thereon. The tire mats include a mat body, a tire stop, and a mat connector member. Cover straps can be used to secure the vehicle cover to the vehicle. The cover strap includes a first and second cover connector member. The first cover connector member is configured to engage with the mat connector member of a first of the tire mats, and the second cover connector member is configured to engage with the mat connector member of a second of the tire mats. The weight of the vehicle holds the mats in place, which accordingly holds the cover on the vehicle.

A self-contained, self-extending, roof-mounted shading apparatus, capable of both vertical and horizontal movement to provide shade for a vehicle.

A vehicle cover is provided, having a flexible fabric body defining an interior cavity which is positionable over an vehicle. Elastic members positioned in passages at the front and rear of the cover are stretchable to mounts on the sides of the cover, to stretch and impart a bias to the elastic member to form a biased contact of the cover with the vehicle.

The invention relates to a hail protection tarpaulin (2) for a vehicle (100). The tarpaulin comprises at least one ductile intermediate layer (22) with a low shrinkage rate, made up of at least one type of vibroabsorbent elastomer arranged in crystalline viscoelastic microcells, capable of absorbing and horizontally dispersing the shocks produced by the impact of the hail on the hail protection tarpaulin (2). The invention also relates to a storage mechanism (4) for a hail protection tarpaulin (2) as well as a hail protection system.

A radiative cooling fabric comprises a flexible substrate layer and a functional layer stacked in order. The first functional layer comprises a first functional resin and a first functional filler dispersed in the first functional resin. A mass fraction of the first functional filler in the first functional layer is in a range of 1% to 20%. An emissivity of the radiative cooling fabrics in the wavelength of 7 μm to 14 μm is not less than 80%. A reflectivity of the radiative cooling fabrics in the wavelength of 300 nm to 2500 nm is not less than 80%. An average value of warp recovery angles of the radiative cooling fabrics is greater than or equal to 95°, and an average value of the weft recovery angles of the radiative cooling fabrics is greater than or equal to 91°.

A system and method employing a tarpaulin may prevent or minimize moisture intrusion and debris damage from below a protected vehicle as well as from above. By way of example, a method is disclosed comprising placing a tarpaulin in a location to accommodate a vehicle to be protected in a parked state; parking the vehicle on a surface of the tarpaulin; gathering up the tarpaulin at the front, back, and sides of the vehicle; and securing peripheral edges of the tarpaulin at a height above an expected water level resulting from a flood event.
