Definitions

  • the invention relates to a protective cover for toilet seats according to the preamble of independent claim 1.
  • a protective pad of this type has become known from DE-C-229.439.
  • the difficulty with this is that it can only be adapted to different toilet seats to a very limited extent. This is due to the closed shape of the protective pad and a reinforcement tape glued on the inside.
  • the protective pad thus has a definite oval shape with a fixed circumference. In most toilet seats, this protective pad would either be too large or too small or could not be adapted, for example, to an approximately rectangular toilet seat.
  • Another difficulty of the generic protective pad is that it can hardly be accommodated in a very space-saving manner. While it is mentioned that the protective covering "can be folded into a small, firm package in such a way that it can be carried and spread out again comfortably," how this is to be done is not mentioned.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a protective pad of the type mentioned, which can be applied to all common toilet seats in a simple manner and with a few simple steps and forms a safe hygienic protection and is still packaged handy and space-saving.
  • the protective pad should be made entirely of paper.
  • the front edge of the protective pad is automatically unfolded into the desired position when the web is unfolded, which simplifies handling.
  • the protective pad according to the invention has the further significant advantage that, in addition to the actual seat surface, it also covers part of the toilet bowl with the front edge. This edge also fixes the support on the toilet seat.
  • the folded web can be accommodated in a rectangular envelope with the edge lengths 90 x 21 x 7 mm, so that six such protective pads can easily be packed in a container the size of a cigarette box.
  • a particularly space-saving and handy packaging results from the further development according to claim 2. This also results in a so-called guarantee closure for each individual protective pad.
  • Fig. 1 shows the packaged protective pad 1, which forms a cuboid body and has a dust-tight envelope closed on all sides.
  • the protective pad preferably consists entirely of comparatively thin paper or a similar material that is easily degradable in water.
  • two tear tabs 2 lying loosely on the side are gripped and brought into the position shown in FIG. 2. If the tear tabs 2 are pulled apart in the direction of the arrows 5, the covering is completely torn open along a circumferential, perforated weakening line 4. If the tear-open flaps 2 are moved further apart in the direction of the arrows 5, a web 8 connected to the tear-open flaps 2 unfolds itself, which finally assumes the tunnel-like shape shown in FIG. 3. Since the web 8 is folded transversely to its longitudinal direction, its length is very variable.
  • the tear-open tabs 2 form the two ends of the web 8, which have a central region 9 to be arranged horizontally, an edge 10 which is angled in cross-section thereto and an edge which also consists of edge parts 11 and 12 and is also angled.
  • the unfolded web 8 is thus U-shaped in some areas and L-shaped in some areas.
  • the outer and inner edges are folded over by 180 °, so that the length of the packaged protective pad 1 is approximately equal to the width of the central region 9 of the web.
  • the front edge 10 is approximately twice as wide as the edge parts 11, and the two widths together give approximately the width of the central region 9.
  • the web 8 is gradually tapered towards the center at the rear edge.
  • the starting point of the edge part 12 is correspondingly displaced further inward and in the folded state the edge 10 and the edge part 12 overlap.
  • the edge part 12 is preferably somewhat longer than the edge parts 11 when viewed in the direction of the fold lines.
  • FIG. 4 and 5 schematically show how the protective pad 1 is placed on a seat ring 13.
  • the edge 10 is placed in the middle area on the front edge of the seat ring 3. If the tear-open flaps 2 are moved further back in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 4, the width of the edge 10 lies precisely against the outer edge of the seat ring 13.
  • the rear edge regions 11 and 12 now have the tendency to engage under the seat ring 13 in the direction of the arrows 15 and 16 due to the folding described below, as a result of which the protective pad 1 clings to the seat ring.
  • the tear tabs 2 are stretched Lane 8 pushed back as far as necessary.
  • An adhesive can be applied to the underside of the tear-open tabs 2, with which the tear-open tabs 2 are glued to the seat ring 13 and thus an additional fixation of the web 8 can be achieved.
  • the used protective pad 1 can be placed in the toilet bowl and washed away without hesitation.
  • the protective pad 1 is produced from the stamped parts 20, 30 and 3 shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 8.
  • the stamped part 22 has the fan fold shown in FIG. 6.
  • the positive, ie the fold lines 18 lying at the top in the folded state and the negative fold lines 19 and 21 are parallel to one another and run at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the web 8.
  • the likewise positive fold lines 20 are inclined at 45 ° to the fold lines 18 and 19 and form the longitudinal edges of the central region 9. The same applies to the edge part 12, not shown here.
  • the folding shown allows the web 8 to be folded particularly compactly and has the property that when the tear-open tabs 12 are pulled apart the web automatically moves into the position shown in 3 shown tunnel-shaped form unfolded.
  • the punched part 22 has tabs 23 and 25 at both ends, which are partially separated from the rest of the web along a punching line 29 and which are folded down or up in the direction of the arrows 17 and glued to a further tab 24.
  • the flaps 23 to 25 are folded according to the fold lines 28 and later form the side walls 7 and partially the tear tabs 2.
  • the one shown in FIG. 1 The upper narrow side is covered by the stamped part 30 shown in FIG. 7, which has two tabs 32 which are glued to the tab 24.
  • the remaining narrow sides are covered by the stamped part 3 shown in FIG. 8, which is partially glued to the sides 7.
  • the tear tabs 2 thus consist of several layers and are particularly tearproof.
  • the folding of parts 3 and 30 is indicated by lines 26 and 27.
  • a web 48 has a front edge 40, which is approximately as wide as the area 45 to be placed on the seat surface, on which tab 42 is attached for tearing open the cover 50 and for unfolding the web 48 are.
  • the edge 40 and the region 45 are connected to one another via a fold 41 which corresponds to the fold 31 or 21 of the first embodiment and which has fold lines 51 which intersect, as can be seen clearly from FIG. 13, for example.
  • This structure of the fold 41 causes the front edge 40 to unfold when the web 48 is unfolded into the position shown in FIG. 13, in which the edge 40 tends to return to the original position.
  • each web 48 can be packaged individually and compactly and also in such a way that the wrapping can be opened and the web 48 unfolded with a single simple movement, the edge 40, as already mentioned automatically swivels into a suitable position.
  • the sheath 50 has a lower tear line 52 and upper tear lines 52b, with flaps 55 clipped together in pairs being arranged on the upper tear lines 52b.
  • a slot 54 is arranged in the casing 50 between the tabs 55, through which the tabs 42 are inserted.
  • a closure part 53 which also has a tear line 56, is glued onto this tab 42.
  • These glue points 43 also serve to fix the two ends of the protective pad in the use position on the toilet seat.
  • the gluing of the covering parts 50a and 50b on the seat surface and the gripping effect of the edge 40, which can be clearly seen from FIG. 14, work together and give the protective pad a particularly good hold.
  • the version of the protective pad disclosed here can also be made entirely of paper or another material that is easily degradable in water.
