Definitions
- the present invention relates to a toilet cover that is placed between the user of a public toilet and its surface, preventing dirt and accumulated germs from being transferred to the user's clothing or skin.
- the sector of the technique to which the invention belongs is that of the hygienic protection of users of public health services.
- covers described in documents ES 204149 U and WO 3096861 are usable in all types of toilets, but do not provide full protection for the user, who may accidentally come into contact with dirty or germ parts of the toilet.
- the present invention relates to a sheath that offers integral protection by including a front leg protection portion, which is fixed to its position by means of an elastic band that runs along the outer perimeter of the sheath.
- the toilet cover object of the invention is of the type comprising a seat with or without a lid, is of the type comprising a flexible laminar surface with a central opening.
- the cover has an ovoid shape and is constituted by two layered layers: a lower layer made of a plastic and impermeable material such as polyethylene, being recommended to be made in a water-soluble plastic such as polyvinyl alcohol or a biodegradable plastic such as Polyesteramide, PHBV or lactic polyacids, and a top layer of porous material, made of cellulose or other similar material.
- a lower layer made of a plastic and impermeable material such as polyethylene, being recommended to be made in a water-soluble plastic such as polyvinyl alcohol or a biodegradable plastic such as Polyesteramide, PHBV or lactic polyacids
- a top layer of porous material made of cellulose or other similar material.
- the upper layer is the same contour as the lower layer and is fixed on said lower layer. Therefore the two layers are not separated but together, normally pressed.
- the lower layer interposes between the toilet and the upper layer, which is where the user rests.
- the cover is contour superior to that of a toilet seat and has a tongue on the back of the cover that covers, in a position of use of the cover, the lower area of the user's back, that is, the part lower back and back of the back, being normally in an inclined position with the rear edge in a higher position than the rest of the case.
- said tab will cover the bottom and hinges of the toilet lid.
- the cover also has an opening in its back behind the rear tongue. This opening is created by a cross section made in the back of the case in the process of manufacturing it. This cut, normally with an arched shape, in turn generates the commented posterior tongue. Said opening is intended to allow easy removal of the cover by breaking it produced by a pull, process which will be explained later.
- the opening fulfills a second mission: through it the toilet lid is introduced in the process of placing the cover in the position of use.
- the sheath in turn has an elastic band fixed, normally sewn, on the perimeter of the upper and lower layers.
- Said tape has at least one discontinuity practiced in its rear part to allow the rupture of the sheath due to said discontinuity in the process of removing the sheath, which is carried out by a pull of the sheath, normally produced by the anterior part of the same. In this way, the sheath is broken due to the pull due to the existence of the posterior opening and the at least one discontinuity, this rupture occurring in the area of the opening close to the discontinuity.
- the elastic band may, for example, have a single discontinuity located in the vicinity of one of the ends of the rear tongue, or it may also have two discontinuities located in the vicinity of each of the ends of the rear tongue, with what breaks due to these discontinuities occurs more easily.
- the toilet is used through the central opening made in both layers, concentrically approximately with said layers.
- the toilet cover usually also has a tongue, located in an anterior part of said central opening, for protection of the male reproductive organ, being useful when the user is a male. This prevents said organ from coming into contact with the inside of the toilet bowl or seat.
- the cover can also comprise a ring attached to the cover for removal once the use of the cover is finished. Said ring will be accessible in the position of use of the cover, and will serve to remove it. This will normally be placed in a front portion of the case.
- the cover is placed on the toilet by inserting the toilet lid into the opening in the back of the cover, behind the rear tab, and extending the cover over the toilet seat.
- the tape next to the introduction of the toilet lid through the opening, ensures that the cover is hugging the toilet, and does not move from the position of use.
- the placement of the cover will be easier, since it will consist of extending the cover over the toilet seat and securing it by means of the elastic band.
- the cover For the removal of the cover, it is pulled from the front, or the ring if available, so that by pulling it is possible to break the cover by the point or points of discontinuity that the elastic band has in its back, in order to lift the cover and proceed to its removal.
- Figure 1 shows a plan view of the toilet seat in deployed position.
- Figure 2 shows a view of the cover installed in a toilet with a lid.
- the sheath (1) has an ovoid shape and is formed from two layers (5,6) laminates made of different materials.
- the lower layer (5) is formed by an impermeable material, such as a plastic such as polyethylene or polyvinyl, although it can also be made of a water-soluble plastic, preferably in hot water, such as a polyvinyl alcohol ( PVA), or in a biodegradable plastic such as polyesteramide, PHBV or lactic polyacids.
- a plastic such as polyethylene or polyvinyl
- PVA polyvinyl alcohol
- a biodegradable plastic such as polyesteramide, PHBV or lactic polyacids.
- the upper layer (6) is formed from a porous material such as cellulose or other similar materials.
- the upper layer (6) has the same shape as the lower layer (5) and is fixed on it.
- the lower layer (5) is the only one that comes into direct contact with the toilet (7) and, being waterproof, prevents exposure or contact with any type of residue or dirt present in the toilet (7) that may be a source of diseases or infections
- the upper layer (6) avoids the uncomfortable sensation that occurs when the skin comes into contact with an impermeable surface, while preventing moisture and heat from rising and the skin sticking to the surface. of the cover (1).
- An elastic band (3) of rubber or other similar material, is sewn to the contour of the sheath (1). This tape (3) ensures the adjustment of the cover (1) to the toilet
- the tape (3) has at least one discontinuity (10) practiced on its back to allow the sheath to break due to said discontinuity (10) in the process of removing the sheath.
- the cover has two discontinuities (10) that is represented in said figure with circles at the points of the elastic band where the discontinuity occurs.
- the cover has a central opening (2) made through both layers (5,6). Layers (5,6) have a first tongue (4) towards the inside of the opening (2) and the part closest to the leading edge of the cover (1), for the hygienic protection of the male user.
- Both layers (5,6) have a tongue (11) on the back of the cover (1) that covers, in a position of use of the cover (1), the lower part and the hinges of the cover (13 ) of the toilet (7). It also has an opening (9) made in the back of the cover (1) behind said rear tab (11) through which the toilet lid is inserted in the process of placing the cover in the position of use, in addition to facilitating the breakage of the cover in its removal process, once it has been used.
- FIG. 2 shows the use position of the cover (1) on a toilet (7).
- the cover (1) being larger than the toilet seat (8), covers the front part of the toilet (7), protecting the user's clothes and legs from accidental contact with the toilet (7).
- the cover (1) is located above the toilet seat (8), leaving the tab (4) at the front of the toilet opening (7) so that a male user does not accidentally come into contact with the inner surface of the toilet bowl (7).
- the cover (1) is placed in the position of use by the following procedure. First of all, through the opening (2) made in the cover, the lid (13) of the toilet (7) is introduced, lowering the cover (1) until the it comes into contact with the seat (8).
- the cover (1) is arranged so that it more or less follows the orientation of the seat (8), ensuring that the front portion of the cover (1) is covering the front part of the toilet (7), and using the tape (3 ) the cover (1) is fixed to the toilet (7).
- the second tab (11), as seen in Figure 2, is placed by covering the hinges and the bottom of the lid (13) of the toilet (7), preventing the user from coming into contact with this difficult to clean area.
- this second tab (11) covers the back of the seat (8) of the toilet (7).
- the cover can carry, as shown in both figures, usually in its front part or even on the elastic band (3) itself, a ring (12) to allow the cover (1) to be easily removed from its use position. Once finished, which is done by a pull of the ring.
- This cover (2) can be disposed of in a bin or by the toilet bowl itself, when the bottom layer
- the ring (12) and the tape (3) are also made of materials that are broken down or dissolved in water, such as polyvinyl alcohol itself, or a combination of cellulose and polyvinyl alcohol, where it performs of glue.
