The main object of this paper is to give an explicit object in the study of projective covers in the category of compact Hausdorff spaces and continuous maps studied in [2] and [5]. be a projective cover of the Stone-Čech compactification βX of a completely regular Hausdorff space X. Here, it will be shown that the maximal ideal space endowed with the Stone topology of the maximal ring of quotients of the ring C(X) of all real valued continuous functions on X is homeomorphic to K.
