Abstract

The disclosure herein provides modular cover systems for protecting furniture and other objects. In an embodiment, a furniture protection system comprises a first cover portion comprising a front surface and a back surface interconnected by a top surface, the first cover portion configured to substantially cover a front, back, and top surface of a first furniture component; and a second cover portion comprising a front surface and a back surface interconnected by a top surface, the second cover portion configured to substantially cover a front, back, and top surface of a second furniture component, wherein a first edge of the first cover portion comprises a first releasable fastener for connecting the first cover portion to the second cover portion, and wherein a second edge of the second cover portion comprises a second releasable fastener configured to engage the first releasable.

Claims

1. A furniture protection system comprising:

a first cover portion comprising a front surface and a back surface interconnected by a top surface, the first cover portion configured to substantially cover a front, back, and top surface of a first furniture component; and

a second cover portion comprising a front surface and a back surface interconnected by a top surface, the second cover portion configured to substantially cover a front, back, and top surface of a second furniture component,

wherein a first edge of the first cover portion comprises a first releasable fastener for connecting the first cover portion to the second cover portion, and

wherein a second edge of the second cover portion comprises a second releasable fastener configured to engage the first releasable fastener.

2. The furniture protection system of claim 1, further comprising a side panel configured to substantially cover a side portion of the first furniture component, the side panel comprising a third releasable fastener configured to connect to the first releasable fastener.

3. The furniture protection system of claim 1, further comprising a bridge panel to connect the first cover portion to the second cover portion, the bridge panel comprising a third releasable fastener configured to connect to the first releasable fastener and a fourth releasable fastener configured to connect to the second releasable fastener.

4. The furniture protection system of claim 1, wherein the first cover portion comprises a third edge opposite the first edge, the third edge comprising a third releasable fastener.

5. The furniture protection system of claim 1, wherein the first and second releasable fasteners form a substantially waterproof joint when connected.

6. The furniture protection system of claim 1, wherein the first and second releasable fasteners comprise at least one of a hook and loop fastener and a zipper.

7. A furniture cover system comprising:

a first furniture cover configured to at least partially cover at least one of a top, front, or back of a first furniture component, the first furniture cover comprising a first releasable fastener positioned adjacent to a first edge;

a second furniture cover configured to at least partially cover at least one of a top, front, or back of a second furniture component, the second furniture cover comprising a second releasable fastener positioned adjacent to a second edge,

wherein the first and second furniture covers are configured to connect together using the first and second releasable fasteners.

8. The furniture cover system of claim 7, further comprising:

a bridge panel to connect the first furniture cover to the second furniture cover, the bridge panel comprising a third releasable fastener configured to connect to the first releasable fastener and a fourth releasable fastener configured to connect to the second releasable fastener.

9. The furniture cover system of claim 7, further comprising:

a side panel dimensioned to at least partially cover a side of the first furniture component, the side panel comprising a third releasable fastener configured to connect to a fourth releasable fastener of the first furniture cover, the fourth releasable fastener positioned adjacent to a third edge of the first furniture cover, the third edge positioned opposite the first edge.

10. The furniture cover system of claim 9, further comprising:

a second side panel dimensioned to at least partially cover a side of the second furniture component, the second side panel comprising a fifth releasable fastener configured to connect to a sixth releasable fastener of the second furniture cover, the sixth releasable fastener positioned adjacent to a fourth edge of the first furniture cover, the fourth edge positioned opposite the second edge.

11. The furniture cover system of claim 7, wherein the first and second releasable fasteners form a substantially waterproof joint when connected.

12. The furniture cover system of claim 7, wherein the first and second releasable fasteners comprise at least one of a hook and loop fastener and a zipper.

13. A furniture cover comprising:

a front surface dimensioned to substantially cover a front portion of a piece of furniture;

a back surface dimensioned to substantially cover a back portion of the piece of furniture;

a top surface connecting the front surface and the back surface, the top surface dimensioned to substantially cover a top portion of the piece of furniture; and

a connection zone disposed adjacent to at least a portion of a lateral edge formed by the front surface, back surface, and/or top surface, the connection zone configured to couple the furniture cover with a panel to enclose the furniture cover at the connection zone or to couple the furniture cover with an additional furniture cover to extend the furniture cover beyond the lateral edge to cover an additional piece of furniture.

14. The furniture cover of claim 13, wherein the connection zone comprises a releasable fastener for coupling the furniture cover with the panel or the additional furniture cover.

15. The furniture cover of claim 13, wherein the furniture cover is configured to at least partially conform to the piece of furniture when coupled to the panel or the additional furniture cover.
