Apparatus and method for conveying a protective cover along a toilet seat

摘要

Apparatus for conveying a protective covering along a toilet seat (10) is provided. The apparatus includes a housing (20) containing a supporting structure (18) for the toilet seat (10), a feeder spool from which a roll of unused protective covering (22) material is fed, a take-up spool for used protective covering (22), a hydraulically operated drive mechanism and apparatus for ensuring that the protective covering (22) remains contiguous with the seat (10) while the protective covering (22) is being advanced. The hydraulically operated drive mechanism is operatively connected to the feeder take-up spools for advancing a pre-determined length of the protective covering (22) along and around the toilet seat (10) from the feeder spool to the take-up spool. <IMAGE>
