Product description
The submitted literature depicts The Carcoon Airflow System (Carcoon) as a product which is used to protect a car from scratches, dust and moisture retention while it its stored. The item, which is designed for indoor use, is made of plastic and vinyl and consists of a base sheet and a top cover which fastens with a zipper. The Carcoon has two air vents with fans and is powered electrically with a 12 volt 1 amp converter. The base sheet is unfolded and placed in a selected position. A car is then rolled or driven onto the base. The top cover is placed over the car and fastened. A transformer and the fans are plugged in to inflate the Carcoon. Once inflated, filters are placed over the fan units and the air control vent at the rear of the Carcoon can be adjusted to suit storage conditions. The fans maintain a continuous flow of filtered fresh air passing over and through the stored vehicle. The airflow takes moisture with it as it exits evenly through the zip panel around the base reducing the build-up of condensation and dust.
