Abstract
A bleacher seat cover and a bleacher seat containing same are disclosed. The bleacher seat cover is of a resilient polymeric material such as an extruded thermoplastic material. The profile of the bleacher seat cover is formed such that the profile of the cover can be distorted from its original shape to a tensed shape, to allow it to be slid over a bleacher seat. Once released from the tensed shape, the resilience of the cover allows it to exert a spring static force against the side(s) and bottom of the bleacher seat to hold the cover in place. In a preferred embodiment, the cover member has a profile that defines a figure wherein the top portion is represented by a straight line; each side portion is represented by a straight line extending at least ninety degrees therefrom; and each bottom portion is represented by a straight line extending at less than ninety degrees from the side from which it extends.
