BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] The invention will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:

[0021] FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a vehicle covering structure of the present invention.

[0022] FIG. 2 is another perspective view of the present invention, i.e. anchored on a car body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0023] In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood that the embodiments may be combined, or that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural and logical changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0024] The present invention generally provides a vehicle covering structure that comprises of multiple pieces of tarp (1), soft inner waterproof lining (5), drag bars (3), and a holding means (2) such as magnet, snapping button, velcro patch and velcro strap and the like, mirror cover with elastic band (4). The invention is provided with velcro straps that runs from the back piece to the top piece and allows the two pieces to be dragged as one piece. The mirror covers are provided with an elastic tip for ease of going over the mirror.

[0025] Referring to FIG. 1, shows a perspective view of the vehicle covering structure with a first preferred embodiment according to the present invention. The holding means (2) enables the user to attach the multiple pieces of tarp (1) into a solitary structure by sticking out on the edges of the tarp with each other. The holding means allows the user to wrap up the covering structure using a pulling mechanism into a small parts while not in use. The drag bars (3) are used to enable the user for immediate snatching and clearing the tarp, this could reduce the user effort in cleaning process. Further, the pair of drag bars is movable in the perpendicular direction on the installed surface of the vehicle.

[0026] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle covering is creating a magnetic pull to assemble and de-assemble the pieces of tarp. When a pulling mechanism is applied by a user, the holding means is movable along the plurality of edges of each tarp. Further, the holding means is selected from, but not limited to, a magnet or a snapping button, although other suitable fastening elements can also be used by the manufacturer as per the requirement.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 2, the covering structure (1), i.e. anchored on a car body, having a pair of drag bars (3) and a magnetic holding means (2) to form a one piece structure. The vehicle covering structure that effectively protects a vehicle from hail and other falling objects and which is easily installed, removed and is compact enough to be stored in the trunk of the vehicle or other desired area. The covering structure has a top region and side panel regions, are integrally formed in either one piece or separate pieces which have been sticking out by a magnet and/or a snapping button. Further, the shape and size of the tarp are not explicitly defined and determined by the manufacturer as per the need and size of the vehicle.

[0028] The above-mentioned vehicle covering structure provides a flexible device for protecting the vehicle from the abrupt environment condition. The parts come together to create an easy and fast means of taking snow off the vehicle. The drag bars stick out so the user can immediately grab and drag the tarp, the magnets allows the pieces to easily and immediately come apart, the tarp like surface keeps the snow off the surfaces, and the cloth underside allows for smooth dragging. In addition, the magnetic holding means is providing a detachable tarp that makes the covering structure more flexible and portable with easy installation. Also, the size and dimension of whole components of the system can be manufactured as per the requirement of the user.

[0029] It is to be understood that the above description is intended to be illustrative, and not restrictive. For example, the above-discussed embodiments may be used in combination with each other. Many other embodiments will be apparent to those of skill in the art upon reviewing the above description.

[0030] The benefits and advantages which may be provided by the present invention have been described above with regard to specific embodiments. These benefits and advantages, and any elements or limitations that may cause them to occur or to become more pronounced are not to be construed as critical, required, or essential features of any or all of the embodiments.

[0031] While the present invention has been described with reference to particular embodiments, it should be understood that the embodiments are illustrative and that the scope of the invention is not limited to these embodiments. Many variations, modifications, additions and improvements to the embodiments described above are possible. It is contemplated that these variations, modifications, additions and improvements fall within the scope of the invention.
