摘要：In this work an automatic car cover is proposed which will opens itself with the help of push button. Itcovers the whole car with a thin, but a strong material that not only protects the car from rain, dust and mud (in parkedsituation) but, also from minor scratches. An assembly of different diameter, concentric cylinders is used to form ahoisting pole and also, so that it could be contained in small space when not in use. The cover material is attached tothe top of the innermost cylinder on both sides and to a rolling rod, which has the cover rolled on it. For theaccomplishment of our task we are using a simple but dependable mechanism of rack-and-pinion gears. A flexible rackis attached to innermost of the 4 concentric, different diameter hollow cylinders. The pinion is attached to a motor,which derives its power from the car battery. As the pinion moves, the rack moves and pushes the innermost cylinderupwards. The bottom of every inner cylinder is attached to the top of the just outer cylinder, but providing the linearmotion between the two. When the rack moves, the innermost cylinder is pushed, which in turn, after being completelyhoisted makes the second inner cylinder to move. The After second the third cylinder is hoisted and with it thecomplete four cylinder pole structure is formed. After complete hoisting, whole structure is rotated along the rearparallel axis of the car. The cover takes the shape of the car and the car is well protected. After complete hoisting,whole structure is rotated along the rear parallel axis of the car. The cover takes the shape of the car and the car is wellprotected. It is most suited for sports car, because sports car generally have open roof.
