Abstract

An auto seat cover for an auto seat which includes a back cover portion and a seat portion joined along a common seam. Straps extend from the common seam for feeding through a crevice of the auto seat between its back rest and its seat cushion. Loops depend from the lower free edge of the back cover portion for securement to the straps. The auto seat cover remains snugly on the seat with the free edge of the back portion pulled down over the rear of the back rest.

Claims

1. A one piece auto seat cover comprising an open mouthed tubular back cover terminating in a lower free edge, the back cover enveloping the back rest of an auto seat, and a seat portion intergrally joined to said back cover at an interconnected common junction for fitting onto the seat cushion of the auto seat, strap means extending from the common junction of the back cover with the seat portion for feeding through a crevice of the auto seat between its back rest and its seat cushion, and loop means depending from the lower free edge of the back cover for securing to said strap means thereby snugly retaining the seat cover in place on the auto seat with the free edge of the back portion pulled down over the rear of the back rest.

2. An auto seat cover as in claim 1, wherein said strap means and said loop means are in alignment.

3. An auto seat cover as in claim 1, wherein said back cover comprises front and rear spaced apart walls, the lower edge of said front wall defining a medial edge for joining to said seat portion, the lower edge of said rear wall defining said free edge.

4. An auto seat cover as in claim 3, wherein said medial edge and said free edge lie in a substantially common horizontal plane.

5. An auto seat cover as in claim 3, wherein said free edge extends to approximately to the lower end of the rear of the back rest.

7. An auto seat cover as in claim 1, and comprising a seam joining said back cover and said seat portion, said strap means being secured at said seam and extending therefrom.

8. An auto seat cover as in claim 1, wherein there are two straps and two loops, each strap being aligned with a corresponding loop.

9. An auto seat cover as in claim 1, wherein said portion comprises a skirt, and comprising elastic loops connected to edges of said skirt for securement beneath said seat cover.

10. An auto seat cover as in claim 1, and comprising an elastic strip along said lower free edge.

6. An auto seat cover comprising an open mouthed tubular back cover terminating in a lower free edge, the back cover enveloping the back rest of an auto seat, and a seat portion joined to said back cover for fitting onto the seat cushion of the auto seat, strap means extending from the juncture of the back cover with the seat portion for feeding through a crevice of the auto seat between its back rest and its seat cushion, and loop means depending from the lower free edge of the back cover for securing to said strap means thereby snugly retaining the seat cover in place on the auto seat with the free edge of the back portion pulled down over the rear of the back rest, wherein the back rest of the auto seat bends forward, and wherein the securement of said strap means to said loop means is such as to prevent riding up of the free edge along the rear of the back rest upon bending forward of the back rest, and wherein said strap means draws said seat portion, whereby said seat portion tightens its fit onto the seat cushion upon bending forward of the back rest.
