Furniture Saver Covers:
"How many loads of wash have you done over the years for blankets or couch and loveseat covers because your pet slept, spit up or jumped on the furniture? It's destructive to the washing machine, dryer, furniture and it's a waste of time. You have to shake everything out, get hair all over you and use additional water and electricity to run the washer and dryer. My furniture saver covers save time. They are easy to clean and keep the pet hair out of your appliances. Plus, the material can actually repel the animals desire to stay on the furniture."

| FIGURE 1 FIGURE 1 is an illustrative view of the present invention 10 in use. The present invention is a protective cover apparatus 10 for furniture from pet hair, dander and dirt. The cover apparatus has a flexible sheet 12is contained within a housing 14 in a rolled state so that it can be easily extended and retracted as desired. Furthermore, the cover has at least one transverse pocket within the body of the cover containing a rigid member that can be tucked between the seat and back rest to keep the cover taut and prevent casual displacement during use. Also provided is a weighted leading edge 16 that will keep the cover taut on the seat and front of the furniture. Shown is the user 24 on a protected couch 26 with a cat 28 and a dog 30.

| FIGURE 2 FIGURE 2 is a top view of the furniture protector of the present invention. Shown is a top view of the furniture saver cover 10 extended. The furniture saver cover is similar to a roll-up shade that would drape over furniture from the floor in the back to the floor in the front, having a weighted leading edge 16 and the weight of the housing 14 at the rear edge to hold it in place and a centrally disposed transverse pocket 18 that would enable another rigid member 20 to be inserted and once inserted tucked into the space at the back of the cushions to hold it in place. An actuator 22 is associated with the housing 14 to retract the cover back into the housing when desired. The cover material can be made of canvas 32 to prevent pet hair from clinging to the cover and therefore easily cleaned.

| FIGURE 3 FIGURE 3 is a perspective view of the present invention 10 in a retracted position. Shown is the present invention 10 in a retracted position having a housing 14 containing a rolled cover that is selectively extendible and retractable covering the rear side, back rest and seat portion with a weighted edge 16 for keeping the cover taut when extended. The cover has a stay comprising an appropriately located pocket for receiving a rigid member positionable in the recess between the back rest and seat preventing displacement of the cover when extended. The housing optionally incorporates a base plate positionable under the rear furniture legs anchoring the cover housing in a desired location. Shown is the actuator 22 depicted as a push button retractor 34 and an optional extension pull-tab 36.
