Definitions
- the subject invention pertains to the field of sanitary covers, more particularly to disposable sanitary covers.
- High chairs, shopping carts, car seats, strollers, wheelchairs and the like are breading grounds for pathogens.
- Restaurant high chairs in general, are coated with a finish to protect the wood, but remain susceptible to harboring dangerous microbes.
- Continuous use of disinfectants and other cleaners provides only a limited amount of protection as the finished surface wears off over time.
- Dangerous pathogens such as Influenza, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae , methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (“MRSA”) can be found on the surface and imbedded in the grains of wood high chairs.
- Uncooked meat such as chicken, pork, beef, and seafood can contain various strains of Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., Listeria spp., Trichinella spp., Shigella sp., Bacillus spp. in addition to other known pathogens.
- Drippings from these meats can land virtually anywhere on a shopping cart and any pathogens contained in the drippings can remain virulent for some time.
- Shopping cart handles provide an excellent vector for the exchange of such pathogens due to the number of persons who use the same shopping cart in a short period of time and the unsanitary habits of children using the shopping cart seat.
- Personal car seats and rental car seats are also breading grounds for pathogens.
- the configuration of current car seats is such that cleaning requires removal of the car seat from the car in addition to near complete disassembly of the components of the car seat.
- the fabric covers that are provided with car seats require frequent cleaning and disinfection to provide any meaningful protection to the child using the seat. Similar to car seats, strollers, wheelchairs and other such similar apparatus can harbor and spread germs leading to illness.
- Disinfectant solutions can contain caustic or dangerous chemicals that should not be used near children or in areas occupied by children.
- Cloth covers provide a significantly limited amount of protection to both the child and the respective seat occupied by the child. The moment the cloth cover is soiled, it remains potentially infectious until such time as it is properly cleaned. In general, cleaning requires that the cloth cover be brought into the house and placed in the wash. Sandra coming into contact with the soiled cover can be susceptible to any pathogens contained on or in the cover.

Description
- This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Applications 61/271,371, filed Jul. 20, 2009 and 61/281,068, filed Nov. 12, 2009.
- The subject invention pertains to the field of sanitary covers, more particularly to disposable sanitary covers.
- High chairs, shopping carts, car seats, strollers, wheelchairs and the like are breading grounds for pathogens. Restaurant high chairs, in general, are coated with a finish to protect the wood, but remain susceptible to harboring dangerous microbes. Continuous use of disinfectants and other cleaners provides only a limited amount of protection as the finished surface wears off over time. Dangerous pathogens such as Influenza, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (“MRSA”) can be found on the surface and imbedded in the grains of wood high chairs.
- Shopping carts present similar and additional issues due to the food-borne pathogens present in uncooked foods. Uncooked meat, such as chicken, pork, beef, and seafood can contain various strains of Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., Listeria spp., Trichinella spp., Shigella sp., Bacillus spp. in addition to other known pathogens. Drippings from these meats can land virtually anywhere on a shopping cart and any pathogens contained in the drippings can remain virulent for some time. Shopping cart handles provide an excellent vector for the exchange of such pathogens due to the number of persons who use the same shopping cart in a short period of time and the unsanitary habits of children using the shopping cart seat.
- Personal car seats and rental car seats are also breading grounds for pathogens. The configuration of current car seats is such that cleaning requires removal of the car seat from the car in addition to near complete disassembly of the components of the car seat. The fabric covers that are provided with car seats require frequent cleaning and disinfection to provide any meaningful protection to the child using the seat. Similar to car seats, strollers, wheelchairs and other such similar apparatus can harbor and spread germs leading to illness.
- Prior art solutions to the aforementioned issues are generally limited to disinfectant solutions and reusable covers made of cloth. Disinfectant solutions can contain caustic or dangerous chemicals that should not be used near children or in areas occupied by children. Cloth covers provide a significantly limited amount of protection to both the child and the respective seat occupied by the child. The moment the cloth cover is soiled, it remains potentially infectious until such time as it is properly cleaned. In general, cleaning requires that the cloth cover be brought into the house and placed in the wash. Anyone coming into contact with the soiled cover can be susceptible to any pathogens contained on or in the cover.
- Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a disposable sanitary cover.
