Abstract

Abstract This disclosure pertains to a slip cover device adapted to be positioned over the uppermost portions of a chair backrest. The open mouth portion of an inverted U shaped cross-section fabricated from a flexible material is applied downwardly surrounding the uppermost marginal edges of the backrest of the chair. The rearmost surface of the cover is provided with a pouch having an open mouth at the uppermost region thereof. A purse may be stored in the pouch, utilizing a flexible strip hingeably affixed at one end and removably affixed at the other end to the rearmost surface of the cover to capture the handle of the purse. One marginal edge of the inverted U shaped cross-section, that is applied downwardly surrounding the uppermost marginal edges of the backrest of the chair, is elongated, such that the elongated portion may be attached to selected areas of the chair itself or the pouch portions of the apparatus or the portion of the apparatus which resides on the top of the backrest of the chair.
