Cover for remote control device

Abstract

A cover for use with a remote control device comprising a front member which exhibits a continuous flat surface and a rear member having a curved surface. The rear member is integrally formed with the front member at a plurality of rounded surfaces for forming an enclosure. An orifice is formed in the curved surface of the rear member for enabling a remote control device to be inserted into and removed from the enclosure. The rounded surfaces designed into the cover facilitate the closing of the orifice for enclosing the remote control device. The front member, rear member and rounded surfaces are each comprised of a flexible, stretchable and transparent material for conforming to the shape of the remote control device and for providing a sanitation barrier.

Description

Benefits of technology

[0009] Briefly, and in general terms, the present invention provides a new and improved cover for a remote control device for creating a convenient, disposable cover for enclosing any of a plurality of electronic remote control devices typically shared among many persons. The cover for a remote control device serves to minimize the transfer of bacteria and viruses from one person who uses the remote control device to another, i.e., the cover provides a sanitation barrier. In particular, the inventive cover for a remote control device is comprised of a flexible-elastic, transparent material fashioned so as to easily conform to the shape of the remote control device. Further, the flexible-elastic transparent material facilitates the capture of the remote control device within the fabric of the cover. Likewise, the cover can be easily removed from the remote control device.

Problems solved by technology

Thus, once fitted onto the remote control device, the transparent nature of the inventive cover facilitates unimpeded operation of the keys mounted on the keypad.
