<p>A protective-sleeve-cartridge/stethoscope assembly includes a stethoscope (12) and a cartridge (10) mounted to the stethoscope (12), with the cartridge (10) including a sleeve (14). In a cartridge-and-sleeve assembly, the assembly includes a cartridge (10) having a first elongated circumferential sidewall (28), with the first elongated circumferential sidewall (28) defining an interior space. The assembly further includes a sleeve (14), at least a part of witch is stored in the interior space. In this assembly, the cartridge (10) and sleeve (14) are constructed and arranged whereby the cartridge (10) may be mounted to a stethoscope (12), and at least a part of the sleeve (14) may dispensed from the cartridge interior space and over a head (16) of the stethoscope (12). A cartridge (10) for mounting to a stethoscope (12) includes a first elongated circumferential sidewall (28) and a second elongated circumferential sidewall (42) inwardly spaced from the first sidewall (28). The first and second sidewalls (28, 42) define, between them, a first interior space, with the first interior space constructed and arranged to contain at least a part of a sleeve (14). The cartridge (10) further includes a first end, and a selectively-moveable cover (30) at the first end, with the cover (30) being moveable between an open position and a closed position, whereby a user may adjust access to the first interior space.</p> |
