Patent ID: 8872722

Claim:
A cover for a satellite dish receiver having an axial axis, with the receiver having a non-symmetrical outer edge portion, said cover comprising: (a) a flexible panel having a peripheral margin portion, said peripheral margin portion blankets the non-symmetrical outer edge portion of the receiver, wherein said peripheral margin portion terminates in a single inwardly folded wide hem having a plurality of apertures disposed therethrough said hem, said peripheral margin portion termination is cantilevered from the non-symmetrical outer edge portion of the receiver, wherein said termination is adjacent to a tangential border that is co-incident with a tangential axis of said peripheral margin portion; and (b) a plurality of separate and independent tension elements, each said tension element having a terminal proximal end portion and a terminal distal end portion with a lengthwise axis spanning therebetween, each one of said plurality of tension elements has said distal end portion being independently removably engaged to a single aperture and has said proximal end portion being independently removably engaged to an oppositely disposed single aperture, each said tension element is adjacent to said axial axis such that each said lengthwise axis is perpendicular to said tangential axis, resulting in said plurality of tension elements extending radially outward in originating from said axial axis to said hem, operationally said plurality of tension elements each act to impart a completely independent tensile force upon said hem to further maintain a planar shape of said panel within the non-symmetrical outer edge portion of the receiver.
