COVERS FOR OUTDOOR CHAIRS
An improved removable cover for an outdoor-type chair useable as a replacement for the existing covers thereon, to restore such existing covers or to reinforce an originally installed cover therefor, such as an originally installed cover comprising a plurality of horizontal tubular straps. The improved cover comprises at least a plurality of vertical straps having separable interlockable first and second corresponding ends, with one of the corresponding ends comprising an adjustable buckle closure device having a cross-bar member positionable adjacent one of a plurality of through-hole apertures in said end and the other of said ends having a through-hole aperture therein, such as through a reinforced loop portion, with a longitudinally serrated ratchet-type strip having a plurality of longitudinally extending serrations therein and a buckle-type closure at one end thereof having an aperture therein with a pawl-like means extending into the aperture being insertable through said one aperture in said one end and said aperture in said open end of said strap and engageable in ratchet fashion with the serrations when the serrated strip end is inserted through the aperture to interlock said strap ends together about the chair frame. This forms an adjustable self-tightening tension means due to the ratchet type interaction between the pawl and serrations. A similar adjustable tension means may also be provided for a plurality of horizontal straps through which the vertical straps are extendable in a woven-like configuration. These vertical straps and/or horizontal straps may be separable or form an interconnected harness. Moreover, the corresponding ends of the straps themselves may comprise the longitudinally serrated ratchet type strip and buckle-type closure, respectively.
