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.
