Abstract

A table cover that allows the user to display literature or product samples in pockets that extend vertically from the edge of the table, comprising a water-resistant and lightweight primary material and a transparent secondary material from which the pockets are made. The pockets can be made either from a single sheet of transparent material or from a plurality of sections of transparent material. The pockets can vary in number and size, and they can be located in one or two rows on one or both sides of the table. In the preferred embodiment, the primary material is nylon ripstop coated with urethane, and the secondary material is clear window plastic. The secondary material can be UV-treated to prevent fading of the literature or other materials contained in the pockets, and text and/or graphics can be superimposed on the front surface of the pockets.

Claims

1. A table cover comprising a sheet of primary material that fits over the surface of a table and extends vertically downward in front and back of the table to create a front and back vertical face of the table cover, a secondary material from which pockets are constructed on the front vertical face of the table cover, and a means of attaching the primary material to the secondary material, wherein the primary material is both water-resistant and lightweight, and the secondary material is transparent.

3. The table cover of claim 1 or 2, wherein the primary material is nylon ripstop coated with urethane.

4. The table cover of claim 1 or 2, wherein the primary material is nylon ripstop coated with a durable water repellent.

5. The table cover of claim 1 or 2, wherein the secondary material is a single piece of clear window plastic that is attached to the primary material by stitching that extends horizontally along the bottom of the clear plastic and vertically from the bottom edge to the top edge of the clear plastic on either side of the clear plastic, and wherein the pockets are formed by stitching that extends vertically from the bottom of the clear plastic to the top of the clear plastic at intervals that define the size of the pockets.

6. The table cover of claim 5, wherein the clear window plastic is UV-treated.

7. The table cover of claim 1 or 2, wherein the secondary material comprises two pieces of clear window plastic arranged so as to provide two parallel rows of pockets, and wherein each piece of clear plastic is attached to the primary material by stitching that extends horizontally along the bottom of each piece of clear plastic and vertically from the bottom edge to the top edge of the clear plastic on either side of each piece of clear plastic, and wherein the pockets are formed by stitching that extends vertically from the bottom of each piece of clear plastic to the top of each piece of clear plastic at intervals that define the size of the pockets.

8. The table cover of claim 7, wherein the clear window plastic is UV-treated.

9. The table cover of claim 1 or 2, further comprising a means of superimposing text or graphics on the front surface of the pockets.

10. The table cover of claim 1 or 2, further comprising vinyl cut-outs in the form of text or graphics that are placed on the front surface of the pockets with an adhesive.

13. The table cover of claim 1 or 2, wherein the pockets are uniform in size.

14. The table cover of claim 1 or 2, wherein the secondary material comprises a plurality of pieces of clear window plastic that are attached to the primary material by stitching that extends horizontally along the bottom of each piece of clear plastic and vertically from the bottom edge to the top edge of each piece of clear plastic on either side of each piece of clear plastic, and wherein the pockets are arranged in one horizontal row.

15. The table cover of claim 1 or 2, wherein the secondary material comprises a plurality of pieces of clear window plastic that are attached to the primary material by stitching that extends horizontally along the bottom of each piece of clear plastic and vertically from the bottom edge to the top edge of each piece of clear plastic on either side of each piece of clear plastic, and wherein the pockets are arranged in two horizontal rows.

2. A table cover comprising a sheet of primary material that fits over the surface of a table and extends vertically downward in front and back of the table to create a front and back vertical face of the table cover, a secondary material from which pockets are constructed on the back vertical face of the table cover, and a means of attaching the primary material to the secondary material, wherein the primary material is both water-resistant and lightweight, and the secondary material is transparent.
