Abstract:

An apparatus is provided for protectively covering a floor appliance, such as a vacuum cleaner. Such a floor appliance includes a body section having a bottom surface, which is disposed adjacent to a floor when the appliance is in use, a top surface opposite the bottom surface, and a side surface between and connecting the top and bottom surfaces. The cover includes a removable bonnet that substantially covers the top and side surfaces of the body section. The bonnet absorbs abrasive forces, such as impact with furniture, walls, and the like. A retaining strap is further included with the cover for removably attaching the bonnet to the body section of the appliance. A pouch of soft material includes an interior space for encompassing a permanent magnet. The pouch is fixed to the bonnet in such a position that the pouch extends crosswise to the direction of motion of the appliance for positioning the permanent magnet parallel to and adjacent to the floor. The pouch precedes the bonnet as the appliance moves across the floor in a forward direction.
