Abstract

A protective cover for a motor vehicle body has a main body with a first coating and a second coating. The main body is formed from a flame-retardant fabric. The first coating is an adhesive layer and the second coating is a metal layer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A protective cover for a motor vehicle, said protective cover consisting of:
a main body that is configured to be mounted over an opening defined in the motor vehicle, wherein the main body consists of a flame-retardant fabric having a first surface and a second surface that is opposite the first surface,
a first coating disposed on the first surface, wherein the first coating is an adhesive coating disposed directly on, and in direct contact with, the first surface of the flame-retardant fabric, and
a second coating disposed on the second surface, wherein the second coating is a metal layer disposed directly on, and in direct contact with, the second surface of the flame-retardant fabric,
wherein no additional layers are arranged between the adhesive coating and the first surface of the flame-retardant fabric, wherein no additional layers are arranged between the metal layer and the second surface of the flame-retardant fabric, and wherein no additional layers are arranged on a surface of the metal layer that is opposite the second surface of the flame-retardant fabric, and
wherein the main body includes an edge extending between the first and second surfaces of the main body, wherein the first coating and the second coating are at least partially disposed on the edge of the main body at a location between the first and second surfaces of the main body, respectively.

2. The protective cover as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the flame-retardant fabric is a flame-retardant glass weave.

3. The protective cover as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first coating is an acrylic adhesive layer.

4. The protective cover as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second coating is an aluminum coating.

5. The protective cover as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an indent formed on a perimeter of the main body.

6. The protective cover as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an outwardly extending projection formed on a perimeter of the main body.

7. A fusebox including the protective cover as claimed in claim 1 .

8. A motor vehicle and the protective cover as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the opening is formed in an interior compartment of the motor vehicle and the protective cover covers the opening.

9. A protective cover for a motor vehicle, said protective cover consisting of:
a main body that is configured to be mounted over an opening defined in the motor vehicle, wherein the main body consists of a flame-retardant glass weave having a first surface and a second surface that is opposite the first surface,
an acrylic adhesive coating disposed directly on, and in direct contact with, the first surface, and
an aluminum coating disposed directly on, and in direct contact with, the second surface,
wherein no additional layers are arranged between the acrylic adhesive coating and the first surface of the flame-retardant glass weave, wherein no additional layers are arranged between the aluminum coating and the second surface of the flame-retardant glass weave, and wherein no additional layers are arranged on a surface of the aluminum coating that is opposite the second surface of the flame-retardant fabric, and
wherein the main body includes an edge extending between the first and second surfaces of the main body, wherein the first coating and the second coating are at least partially disposed on the edge of the main body at a location between the first and second surfaces of the main body, respectively.
