DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In Fig. 1, a system 1 according to the invention is shown in schematic form. A toilet seat 3 has one us-attached end 5, over which the tubular protective cover 9 is drawn onto the toilet seat 3 from a storage unit for fresh tubing shown in the form of a roll 7. At the fastened end 11 of the toilet seat 3, a cutter 13 is disposed, which slits open the tube 9 pulled over the toilet seat, preferably in increments, in the direction of the arrow. The cutter 13 slits open the tube 9 in such a manner that it can be drawn off by a drive mechanism, schematically represented by the rolls 15 and 17. The drive mechanism includes a preferably battery-operated electric motor 19 or some manual device actuatable by hand or by toot. The used tubing drawn off the toilet seat 3 is not wound up onto a roll of used tubing, which would require increased space for the complete system 1; instead, as shown in Fig. 1, the used tubing is diverted either before or after the drive mechanism 15, 17, 19 and disposed of in a container serving as a storage unit 21 for used tubing. This storage unit is preferably disposed outside the system, depending upon the given situation; for instance, the used tubing may be passed through an opening in the housing 23 of the system, above which opening the collector 21 is attached from the outside.
As shown in Fig. 2, the collector 21 is preferably embodied by a foil pouch 23, which in the area of its open-in is glued to a holder plate 25, the latter having a eon-trial opening 27 for the tubing. The holder plate 25 is secured to one part of the housing wall 31 such that it can be removed by sliding along holder rails 29, and the housing wall 31 is also provided with an opening 33 for removing the used tubing. The collector may be disposed, depending upon a given situation, either suspended on a horizontal housing part or laterally on a vertical housing part.
As shown in schematic form in Fig. 3, the volume required by the used tubing 35 is decreased by providing a shredding device 37 preceding the collector 21, which is shown here in the form of a foil pouch 23. The shredder 37 may for instance be in the form of cutter blocks aye and 37b operatively connected with one another, and it is disposed between the drive mechanism having the rollers 15 and 17 and the opening 33 for the now-shredded used tubing 35.
As shown in Fig. 4, instead of a collector vessel for the used tubing 35, a conduit 39 may be provided, which disposes of the used tubing, in particular after the latter has passed through the shredder 37, into the toilet bowl 41.
In order to prevent stopping up the toilet, the conduit 39 may be provided with a nozzle (not shown) for flush water.

In Fig. 5, the embodiment of a manual drive for the tubing which can be operated either by foot or by hand is shown in schematic form. An actuation lever 43 acts in either case, via diverting levers and diverting rods (not shown), upon a driving rack 45, which in turn acts upon a gear wheel 47. In a known manner, the toothing of the gear wheel 47 and of the rack 45 and their interaction are such that the rack 45 acts, rotating, upon the gear wheel 47 only in the actuation direction p. The rotational movement of the gear wheel 47 is transmitted via a step-up gear mechanism, represented in Fig. 5 by the gear wheels 49 and 51, to the drive rollers 15 and 17 for the used tubing 35.
In Fugue , the system according to Fig. 1 has an interchangeable cassette 52 as the storage unit for the fresh tubing. A roll 59 having the fresh tubing is stored, capable of rotating, in the cassette housing 57, the latter self-contained except for an outlet opening 55. After the cassette 57 has been placed into an appropriate recess 61 in the system housing 23, this fresh tubing is unrolled out of the opening 55 and pushed onto the open end 5 of the toilet seat 3.
A further variant for storing the fresh tubing in a cassette 63 is shown in Fig. 7. Instead of being wound up on a roll 59 as shown in Fig. 6, the fresh tubing here is laid in folds and stored in the cassette 63; it is unfolded from a slit-type opening 55. This embodiment of the cassette makes it possible to attain flatter dimensions than if a roll were provided.
Fig. shows how the cassettes of fresh tubing are disposed in the system. Embodied as shown in Fig. 7, that is, with the tubing folded, the cassette 63 is placed for instance between the two ends of the seat 3, and the fresh tubing is drawn onto the seat 3 over the free end 65, which here is curved toward the seat. As a result of this disk position and the utilization of the space between the ends of the toilet seat, the system becomes decisively flatter, especially if the provision of a cassette of this type is combined with the provision of an external collector 21 as ~2161(~;~

shown in Fig. 1 or Fig. 2. As indicated by dot-dash lines, the open end 65 of the toilet seat 3 may also be curved toward the outside and a cassette provided such as that shown at 52 in Fig. 6.
S It will be understood that the variant embodiments shown in schematic form in Figs. 1-8 can be combined with one another, affording the opportunity to adapt the system flexibly to given structural and space requirements.
