Claim 6

The greenhouse-type plant covering of claim 4 wherein said means for attaching said member near said bight portions of said support means when said cover is rolled about said member includes: a. a flexible linkage having at one end thereof means for holding said elongated member with said cover therearound; and b. means attaching said flexible linkage to said bight portion of said third support means.

Claim 7

The greenhouse-type plant covering of claim 5 wherein said means for holding said member includes a U-shaped bracket.

Claim 8

A greenhouse-type plant covering, comprising: a. an inverted generally U-shaped tubular support member having a bight portion and first and second outwardly dIverging legs having ends, said bight portions and said legs defining a first area therebetween; b. a second inverted generally U-shaped tubular support member having a bight portion and first and second outwardly diverging legs having ends, said bight portions and said legs defining a second area therebetween; c. a third inverted generally U-shaped tubular support member having a bight portion and first and second outwardly diverging legs having ends, said bight portion and said legs defining a third area therebetween; d. a brace rod extending longitudinally between said first, said second, and said third support members at said bight portions, said brace rod spacing said support members in generally parallel relationship with said third support member intermediate said first and second support members. e. a first base rod extending longitudinally between said support members along said first legs near said ends; f. a second base rod extending longitudinally between said support members along said second legs near said ends; g. a first flexible end cover in the shape of said first area, said cover having a zipper therein; h. a second flexible end cover in the shape of said second area, said cover having a zipper therein; i. a plurality of generally tubular snap members having a longitudinally extending slit therein, said snap members having an inside diameter slightly smaller than said outside diameter of said tubular support members for holding said first cover and said second cover to said support members; j. a generally rectangularly shaped flexible top cover extending over said support members with a first edge along said legs and said bight portion of said first support, a second edge along said legs and said bight portion of said second support, a third edge extending along said ends of said first legs of said first, second, and third supports, and a fourth edge extending along said ends of said second legs of said first, second, and third supports; k. a first longitudinally extending roller member attached along said third edge of said top cover and a second longitudinally extending roller member attached along said fourth edge of said top cover, said top cover being rollable about said roller members; l. a plurality of generally tubular snap members having a longitudinally extending slit therein, said snap members having an inside diameter slightly smaller than the outside diameter of said tubular support members, for attaching said top cover to said legs and said bight portion of said first and second support members when said elongated members are in an unrolled position with respect to said generally rectangular flexible cover; and m. a flexible linkage attached at one end thereof to said bight portion of said third support and having a U-shaped bracket at the other end thereof for attaching said roller member with said cover therearound near said bight portions of said supports.

Claim 9

A greenhouse-type plant covering, comprising: a. an inverted generally U-shaped tubular support member having a bight portion and first and second outwardly dIverging legs having ends, said bight portions and said legs defining a first area therebetween; b. a second inverted generally U-shaped tubular support member having a bight portion and first and second outwardly diverging legs having ends, said bight portions and said legs defining a second area therebetween; c. a third inverted generally U-shaped tubular support member having a bight portion and first and second outwardly diverging legs having ends, said bight portion and said legs defining a third area therebetween; d. a brace rod extending longitudinally between said first, said second, and said third support members at said bight portions, said brace rod spacing said support members in generally parallel relationship with said third support member intermediate said first and second support members. e. a first base rod extending longitudinally between said support members along said first legs near said ends; f. a second base rod extending longitudinally between said support members along said second legs near said ends; g. a first flexible end cover in the shape of said first area, said cover having a zipper therein; h. a second flexible end cover in the shape of said second area, said cover having a zipper therein; i. a plurality of generally tubular snap members having a longitudinally extending slit therein, said snap members having an inside diameter slightly smaller than said outside diameter of said tubular support members for holding said first cover and said second cover to said support members; j. a generally rectangularly shaped flexible top cover extending over said support members with a first edge along said legs and said bight portion of said first support, a second edge along said legs and said bight portion of said second support, a third edge extending along said ends of said first legs of said first, second, and third supports, and a fourth edge extending along said ends of said second legs of said first, second, and third supports; k. a first longitudinally extending roller member attached along said third edge of said top cover and a second longitudinally extending roller member attached along said fourth edge of said top cover, said top cover being rollable about said roller members; l. a plurality of generally tubular snap members having a longitudinally extending slit therein, said snap members having an inside diameter slightly smaller than the outside diameter of said tubular support members, for attaching said top cover to said legs and said bight portion of said first and second support members when said elongated members are in an unrolled position with respect to said generally rectangular flexible cover; and m. a flexible linkage attached at one end thereof to said bight portion of said third support and having a U-shaped bracket at the other end thereof for attaching said roller member with said cover therearound near said bight portions of said supports.
