Sanitation cover device

Abstract

1. This new invention is a one size, stretch to fit, disposable scented or fragranced sanitation disposable paper cover device for use in restrooms, to cover the tops of toilets, urinals and lavatories that require maintenance. The disposable paper cover device referred to as “SANI-BONNET”, consists of a disposable scented paper fabric material, gathered on the underside towards the center by an expandable band of material such as elastic that is sewn-in or secured continually along the underside edge of the paper fabric material to form a smaller inner circular or oval opening than the whole of the paper fabric material, thereby drawing the edging of the disposable paper fabric material towards the center underside to allow the paper fabric like material to be stretched to a larger opening to fit over the tops of toilets, urinals and lavatories that require maintenance. a. More specifically the thread used to sew or secure the elastic band to the disposable paper fabric will be sewn or secured onto the disposable paper continuously so as to form an oval or circular opening. The ends of the thread however, will be continued to be sewn after they have completed the circular or oval opening, each continuing to form a string end of approximately six inches, without attachment or adherence to the elastic or the disposable paper material. The four resulting string ends can be used as a means to tie the disposable paper cover device on restroom fixtures where this cover device may be required to be tied to achieve the desired cover affect.

I. A disposable paper cover device for placing over the tops of restroom toilets, urinals and lavatories, to identify them as out-of-service, the device comprising: Disposable paper fabric material of measured proportion such as 3′×3′ with an elastic band material sewn in or secured onto the edging of the underside of the paper fabric material drawing it into a lesser circular or oval opening than the whole of the cover device.
 a. The elastic band material will be sewn-in or secured along the edge of the paper fabric material continuously to join one end to the other resulting in the sewn or secured portion drawing the paper fabric material towards the center forming an oval or circular opening on the center underside. The resulting opening being able to be expanded by stretching to a larger opening. Stretching or expanding the cover device from a smaller to a larger opening will result in adapting to various sizes and a method by which the cover device will be stretched over and held on to various size fixtures. More specifically the thread used to sew or secure the elastic to the paper fabric will be sewn or secured continuously to form an oval or circular opening. 
 
   
   
     II. (Supporting claim) A tying portion of the cover device; the two ends of the thread sewn-in or secured to the elastic as claimed in claim  1 , will be continued to be sewn or secured unto themselves each forming a string end of approximately six inches, without attachment or adherence to the paper fabric like material. The four resulting string ends can be used to accommodate a tie method for use on fixtures where this disposable paper cover device may be tied to achieve the desired sanitary bonnet or cover affect. 
   
   
     III. (Supporting claim) An identified portion of the disposable paper cover device will be centered on each unit of the cover device to allow users to write or screen print, an “Out-Of-Service” message specific to the need of the facility. The writable area of the disposable paper cover device may measure 4″ by 6″ or as necessary to accommodate specific messages to be conveyed.
