Abstract

A suspension system for a covering accommodates movement of the covering in response to wind forces and urges return of the covering to its initial mounted position about the object covered. The suspension system at each of opposed ends of the covering includes a bar having one end detachably attached to a first anchor point on the object to be covered. An elastic element extending from the one end of the bar is attached to the covering to accommodate displacement of the covering relative to the first anchor point. An elastic element extends from the other end of the bar to a second anchor point on the object to be covered to accommodate different spacings between the points of attachment. The elastic element extending from the second point is attached to the covering to accommodate displacement of the covering relative to the second point. In a variant of the suspension system, a bar is detachably attached to the covering and an elastic element extends from the bar to a point of attachment on the object or to an anchor point to accommodate movement of the covering relative to the point of attachment while urging return of the covering to its initial location.
