AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0031]The adhesive used can include a small amount of an epoxy, silicone or glue such as jade adhesive (R). The adhesive also preferably includes a natural oil fragrance such as a tea tree oil, lavender oil or orange oil that can lightly adhere the main sheet to the seat by spreading in a capillary manner after release from the module score. The adhesive may further include a non-acid PVA or a wheat or Belgian rice starch or Lascaux Acrylic adhesive cellugel for thickening of the adhesive composition. The adhesive has a fragrance component and has a substantial amount of alcohol content so that it is volatile for rapid evaporation.

[0032]The amount of the adhesive is predetermined so that the adhesive quickly loses stickiness over time because of rapid evaporation, such that there is no stain or mark on the seat. It is preferred that the adhesive loses stickiness after about minutes. After losing stickiness, the sheet may be flushed easily without tearing the adhered portion from the main portion. The sheets can be stored in a dispenser in a stacked configuration.

Problems solved by technology

Certain problems remain, including placement of the seat cover which can be difficult in confined areas.
