US Patent 6,484,328.
This invention provides a device and method for improved toilet hygiene. One aspect of the invention provides an improved toilet seat cover having an affinity for a toilet seat. Another aspect of the invention provides a method for rendering a toilet seat cover in a state wherein the cover possesses an affinity for a toilet seat. Such affinity can be established in a variety of ways, including by way of disparate surface charges (e.g., by triboelectric charging).
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a toilet, suitable for practicing the present invention, and illustrating placement of a toilet seat cover upon the toilet seat, according to the present invention:
FIG. 2 is a perspective view that illustrates tribocharging during unwinding of a toilet seat cover from a roll, according to the present invention. FIG. 3 is a partially schematic, perspective view illustrating triboelectric charging upon peeling a toilet seat cover from a stack, where each cover has front and back surfaces of first and second respective materials having disparate triboelectric properties:
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a dispenser for toilet seat covers, having a charge-imparting member mounted near an orifice through which individual seat covers can be pulled, according to the present invention:
