Abstract

Removable and preferably disposable device for protecting toilet users against dirt and germs which can be on toilets. The device is comprised of a thin film of rubber or material having the same mechanical properties cut out with the shape of an oval plane ring (2). It is also provided with a tongue (7) for removing it easily and with lateral extra thicknesses (5 and 6). The device according to the invention is more particularly intended for hygienic and prophylactic use.

Description

PROTECTION AMOVIBLE ET JETABLE A USAGE PROPHYLACTIQUE POUP TOILETTES La présente invention concerne un dispositif amovible et portable pour protéger l'utilisateur des toilettes d'un contact direct avec celles-ci. L'entretien des toilettes est généralement exécuté à l'aide de produits de nettoyage peu ou pas anti septiques, et dans tous les cas jamais après chaque usage, ce qui entraine des risques certains et reconnus de propagation de germes.The present invention relates to a removable and portable device for protecting the user of the toilet from direct contact with it. Toilet maintenance is generally carried out with little or no anti-septic cleaning products, and in any case never after each use, which involves certain and recognized risks of spreading germs.
L'utilisation de la protection portable permet selon l'invention de remédier à ces risques.The use of portable protection allows according to the invention to remedy these risks.
Il s'agit en effet d'une protection stérile dans son conditionnement et s'adaptant parfaitement sur l'abattant des toilettes, éliminant de ce fait tout contact direct avec celles-ci. Selon une forme de réalisation préférentielle, cette protection réalisée dan une matière élastique ( du type de celle employée pour la confection dés préservatifs masculins) épousant parfaitement l'abattant sur lequel elle est posée.It is indeed a sterile protection in its packaging and fits perfectly on the toilet seat, thereby eliminating any direct contact with them. According to a preferred embodiment, this protection made dan an elastic material (of the type used for making male condoms) perfectly matching the flap on which it is placed.
Le caoutchouc employé pourra être d'origine naturelle ou syntétique. Le caoutchouc a l'avantage de permettre un conditionnement restreint sans endommager la forme ou la texture de la protection, permettant par là même son transport aisé dans une poche ou un sac à main. La mise en place de cette protection s'effectue de la manière la plus simple par simple emboîtage autour du support concerné. Le matériau employé a l'avantage de povoir s'adapter à toutes les formes d'abattants existants et d'assurer ainsi une protection optimale sans emploi d'u quelconque moyen de fixation tel que colle ou autre. II peut par conséquent aussi bien se poser sur la cuvette ellemême si l'abattant est inexistant.The rubber used may be of natural or synthetic origin. Rubber has the advantage of allowing restricted packaging without damaging the shape or texture of the protection, thereby allowing it to be easily transported in a pocket or handbag. The implementation of this protection is carried out in the simplest way by simple fitting around the support concerned. The material used has the advantage of being able to adapt to all forms of existing flaps and thus to ensure optimum protection without the use of any fixing means such as glue or the like. It can therefore also be placed on the bowl itself if the seat is nonexistent.
Selon un mode de réalisation préférentielle, cette protection peut être réalisée par simple découpage ou moulage par injection. Il est également prévu sur le rebord une languette permettant d'enlever le dispositif en évitant tout contact avec les toilettes, cette languette sera positionnée à l'avant de l'abattant pour plus de commodité lors de son enlèvement.According to a preferred embodiment, this protection can be achieved by simple cutting or injection molding. There is also a tab on the rim allowing the device to be removed while avoiding contact with the toilet, this tab will be positioned at the front of the flap for more convenience during removal.
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet à l'utilisateur de se protéger en tous lieux des souillures ou germes pouvant se trouver sur les cuvettes de toilettes. L'état de la technique actuelle nous permet de constater que tous les systèmes existants font appel à des moyens tels que tenons, colle ou articulations à ressort pour leur fixation. La principale inovation de la présente invention tient en ce que le matériau employé contient en lui même de par ses propriétés mécaniques les moyens de se fixer sur son support et d'autre part de l'emboîter parfaitement.Le caoutchouc a en effet la propriété de se rétracter de lui même pour reprendre sa forme initiale lorsque nous l'étirons. Pour que la protection (2) tienne sur son support (1) elle est réalisée dans une dimention inférieure à celle d'un abattant moyen soit par exemple L1XL2=0,35mXO,41m de dimentions extérieures et L3XL4=0,24mXO,17m de dimentions intérieures tel que montré sur la figure (1) en L1 et L2 pour l'intérieur et sur la figure (1) en L3 et L4 pour l'intérieur. Une plus forte force de rétraction est réalisée sur la bordure de la protection en réalisant une surépaisseur cylindrique (5) sur celle-ci qui agira à la manière d'un élastique.Ainsi qu'il se présente en (5) sur la figure (2) en plan de coupe. Le bord extérieur (5) de la protection vient donc s'emboîter sous le bord externe (3) de l'abattant (1) figure 2.The device according to the invention allows the user to protect himself everywhere from stains or germs which may be found on the toilet bowls. The current state of the art allows us to see that all existing systems use means such as tenons, glue or spring joints to fix them. The main invention of the present invention is that the material used contains in itself by its mechanical properties the means to be fixed on its support and on the other hand to fit it perfectly. Rubber has the property of retract on its own to return to its original shape when we stretch it. So that the protection (2) fits on its support (1) it is produced in a smaller dimension than that of an average flap, for example L1XL2 = 0.35mXO, 41m of external dimensions and L3XL4 = 0.24mXO, 17m of interior dimensions as shown in figure (1) in L1 and L2 for the interior and in figure (1) in L3 and L4 for the interior. A stronger retraction force is produced on the edge of the protection by making a cylindrical allowance (5) thereon which will act in the manner of an elastic band. As shown in (5) in the figure ( 2) in cutting plane. The outer edge (5) of the protection therefore fits under the outer edge (3) of the flap (1) Figure 2.
La même surépaisseur (6) est réalisée sur la bordure interne de la protection empêchant celle-ci de découvrir le bord interne de l'abattant (4) figure 2. La protection est réalisée sous forme d'anneau de forme sensiblement ovale plane et d'une épaisseur très faible,n'exédant pas un dixième de mm afin de présenter l'encombrement le plus restreint par exemple 30 cm3 dans son. conditionnement dans lequel elle est roulée. Ce conditionnement se présente seus la forme d'un sachet en papier ou en plastique ou bien d'un boitage en carton.The same allowance (6) is made on the internal edge of the protection preventing the latter from discovering the internal edge of the flap (4) Figure 2. The protection is produced in the form of a ring of substantially flat oval shape and d 'a very small thickness, not exceeding one tenth of a mm in order to have the smallest footprint, for example 30 cm3 in sound. packaging in which it is rolled. This packaging comes only in the form of a paper or plastic bag or a cardboard box.
La figure (3) nous montre un abattant en perspective en (1) ainsi qu'une protection (2) et les forces de traction qui lui sont imprimées figurant par des flèches pour sa mise en place. Une languette (7) peut être prévue en partie avant de la protection pour faciliter son enlèvenent. Figure (3) shows us a flap in perspective in (1) as well as a protection (2) and the tensile forces which are printed on it appearing by arrows for its installation. A tongue (7) can be provided in the front part of the protection to facilitate its removal.
