DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0014] The present invention is directed to an improved system and
method for enabling a user to cover open boxes and plates, using
flexible plastic, or the like, to keep the contents fresh and
unreachable by flies and other bugs while providing the access to
the contents via zipper based opening without removing the cover.
The preferred embodiments of the improved system and method are
fully and detailed illustrated and described in the following
paragraphs.
[0015] As illustrated in FIGS. 1-3, in a preferred embodiment in
accordance with the present invention the system 10 includes the
cover body 26, to cover open boxes 24 or plates 28, stretchable and
