Abstract
ABSTRACT
The toilet seat cover is an article of personal hygiene for people with certain restraints as far as the usage of toilets other than their own, especially the ones in public washrooms are concerned.
In this invention, the toilet seat cover is made up of a rectangular sheet of paper which is soft, absorbent, porous and light, making it easy to be flushed down the toilet bowl. Strategically placed incisions and perforations will enable it to be adjusted to the opening of the toilet seat and to be maintained in position. After usage, the article will be disposed in the same fashion as toilet paper is. This article has also several other applications if and when a situation would dictate their use for example toilet paper, cosmetic napkins, and tissues.

Description
s SPECIFICATION
This invention relates to a hygienic toilet seat cover. It is common in articles such as these to find proposed solutions relating to the covering of the toilet seat with all kinds of protective surfaces.
Some of these existing inventions suggest a roll of paper that is applied one sheet at a time onto the toilet seat by all sorts of mechanical devices. After the sheet has been used the same mechanical device removes it. Inventions such as the one above tend to modify the whole design of the toilet bowl and seat, are uncomfortable to use and expensive to install. As a result, none are found in public use.
Other existing inventions suggest simpler methods of protectln~
the toilet seat. These methods include individual sheets of paper, plastic sheets, paper bags, etc. with openings matching the opening Or the toilet seat. Costly dispensers and disposals are necessary in order to make them usable in public washrooms. Some of these inventions assume that washrooms still have the inadequate hygienic and sanitary conditions of the past and as such choose heavy, non-porous, impermeable, reinforced and sometimes even plastic materials. All this makes them difficult to produce and to be used. The sanitary conditions in today's washrooms makes a lot of these inventions obsolete.
The rest, which might present some interest since they offer some-thing which fills a long-felt need, are difficult to produce at a low enough cost in order to make the venture commercially attractive.
All of the above difficulties, disadvantages an inconveniences of existing proposals could be avoided by the introduction of a new type of toilet seat cover which would satisfy certain needs resulting from the following facts: even though most of today's washrooms are clean and sterile, a lot of people are not interested or impressed by that fact which is considered to be normal in this society. On the other hand, more and more people are preoccupied by the toilet user precedln~ them, placing that individual's personal hygiene in question or the risk-_ _ I.
:L2~6~0S
factor involved in the possibility of contracting a disease, virus or bacteria.
Because the answers to these questions cannot be Icnown, people use the toilet improperly and/or in total physical and psychological discomfort in ruder to reduce all probable and improbable risk factors.
This invention offers people with reservations, such as the ones outlined above, a chance to use any and all public toilets in a way that is comfortable as well as acceptable to their own personal criteria concerning hygiene.
With this in mind, the Hygienic Toilet Seat Cover offers protection against the toilet seat and is made up of a rectangular sheet of paper, 40cm by 45cm, which is soft, absorbent, porous and light, delicately impregnated with disinfectant deodorant. It is equipped with a vertical incision or notch of 30cm down the center and with two other horizontal incisions, 18cm each, running parallel and at equal distance from the transversal axle of symmetry. All incisions are followed by perforations on the entire area of the paper. Because of the fragility of the material, these incisions and perforations are applied as the folding of the entire sheet takes place during production. After folding, the paper is ready to be packaged. The package is designed in a way that will enable it to be placed on any horizontal surface or attached to any vertical surface so as to make it handy so as to enable the sheets to be used directly from the package. When used the paper will be unfolded and thus make all the incisions visible and enable the whole sheet to be adjusted to any opening and be maintained in position. After usage, the article will be flushed down the toilet. If and when a situation might require it, this article can be torn into six equal pieces by following and progressively tearing along the perforations that are revealed as the sheet is unfolded. The six smaller sheets can be used as: toilet paper, cosmetic napkins, or tissues.
Some of the advantages of this invention in comparison with the SWISS
other known inventions in this class:
-Does not require any modifications in the design Or the toilet sea and bowl.
-Does not require a dispenser or disposal in order to make it workable.
-Uses the usual two-ply toilet paper which is soft, absorbent, porous, light and flush able, making it a familiar article for consumers The price of the production is competitive with the price of other articles made of the same material, In order to be produced, it does not require the designing of any new machines. It can be adapted to existing machines. It can accommodate more than one function.
Drawings which illustrate embodiments of the invention:
Figure Lowe, b, c, d are four axonometric views of how to fold and place the incisions.
Figure 2.-a, b and two axonometric views of how the paper can be used directly from the package.
Figure 3. is an axonometric view of the unfolded paper with the entire configuration of incisions.
Figure 4. is an axonometric view Or the article in wise over a toilet seat.
Figure 5.-a, b are two axonometric views of bow the paper can be divided into six equal pieces.
Paper 1 of Figure l-a of a rectangular shape, 400mm by 450mm, lo molded transversally in the middle by applying notch 2 approximately 150m~
at the halfway point in the line of folding flogger l-b). The notch it extended with perforations 3. It 1B folded again transversally along the line of notch 2 and perforations 3 (Figure l-c). Notch 4 approximately Ohm is applied perpendicularly on the halfway point of notch 2. Notch 4 is extended by perforations 5. The paper is foldetl one more time transversally in the middle (Figure l-d) reducing the paper to a final dimension of 200mm by 112mm.
Approximately 80 papers with the above dimensions can be packaged in a box (it! of approximately 210mm by 1~0mm by 120mm. One possible way Or opening box 6 is demonstrated in Figure 2-a. The lid ox the box it provided with opening 7, adhesive surface 9, covered with a nonadhesive cover 8. With the removal of cover 8, the box can be attached to all vertical surfaces 10 by applying the part of the box with adhesive surface 9 over opening 7 (Figure 2-b), The true configuration of incisions 2, 4 is obtained through the complete unfolding of paper 1 (Figure 3). When the paper is placed over the toilet seat the incisions enable the paper to automatically adapt to the opening of the toilet seat and at the same time the incisions also help keep the paper in place figure 4).
Six equal pieces, 200mm by 150mm, 11 (Figure 5-b) are obtained through the partial unfolding of the paper (Figure 5-a) and after the perforations 3, 5 are torn along the incisions 2, 4, these pieces or parts are able to sustain other functions such as: toilet paper, cosmetic napkins or tissues.
