Vehicle cover blow-off prevention system, device and method
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.

Vehicle Vacuum Storage Enclosure
Storage of vehicles either long term or seasonal presents a problem of protecting them from an environment that can lead to oxidation damage and corrosion. The Vehicle Vacuum Storage Enclosure can be vacuum sealed, the air is remove from the enclosure which reduces water and oxygen levels in the enclosure thereby reducing oxidation and corrosion of parts on the vehicle enclosed. The enclosure is designed so that a vehicle can be placed on the bottom side of the enclosure then using the seals the vehicle is completely surrounded by the air tight enclosure. The air in the enclosure is then evacuated through the vacuum port/valve and vehicle remains under vacuum for the duration of the storage period as the port/valve and the seals prevent air from entering the enclosure.
Snow roof protector
This invention provides a cover device mountable to the roof of an automobile for protection from snow and sun, having modular construction including body groups mounted on the front facing and rear facing surfaces of a frame. The frame is supported on a base positioned on the automobile roof by two extendable feet connecting the base to roof racks. The body group contains a number of cover pieces supported on the body supports. Bottom of the body support is fitted into a pair of rails attached to an adjacent body support such that the outer body supports are slidable along the rails and extendable to the extent allowed by the length of the rails. A locking device is installed to interlock the cover pieces within one body group. Body groups are secured to each other so that the body groups are extendable and retractable as a unit.

Integrated cover
According to at least one exemplary embodiment, a method, system and apparatus for a vehicle cover may be shown and described. In an exemplary embodiment, a vehicle cover may be provided which is stored along or inside the bumper cover of a vehicle. The cover may be stored on a roller. A drawstring on the end of the cover may be exposed while the cover is stored. Pulling the drawstring may unroll the roller, thus exposing the cover. The cover may then be wrapped over a substantial portion of the vehicle and tied at the end of the vehicle opposite the roller. In an exemplary embodiment, removal of the cover is as simple as untying the end of the cover and pressing a button on the roller which activates the spring-loaded return mechanism which may roll the cover back into the roller.

SOLAR-POWERED PROTECTIVE CAR CHARGING COVER
A system for a solar-powered protective car charging cover. The solar-powered car charging cover is designed to directly trickle charge electric cars by bypassing the internal charging power supply whilst also providing a protective barrier around the vehicle. This trickle charge provides enough power for charging cellular phones, powering lights, and other small electronics without further draining the battery and may even produce a net-positive charge to charge the vehicle's batteries. The barrier portion is a multi-layer cover with an adjustable-rigid air bladder layer sandwiched between an outer solar-panel layer and an inner vehicle paint protection layer. Zippered portions provide multiple configurations including using the solar-powered car charging cover without a vehicle for a make-shift tent with solar-powered charging ports. A power control box provides the means to connect external power sources to the solar-powered car charging cover.

Multiple position vehicle cover
A cover for a vehicle having a first compartment and a second compartment includes a first section, a second section and an intermediate section. The first section includes at least one connector and is adapted to overlie the first compartment. The second section includes at least one connector and the intermediate section is located between the first section and the second section. In a first position the cover defines a first effective surface area, and the first section is in a first position, the second section is in a first position, and the intermediate section is not parallel to the first section and second section. In a second position, the cover defines a second effective surface area that is less than the first effective surface area, and either or both of the first section and the second section is in a second position.
