Embodiment Construction

[0016]Techniques and systems for the storage and disposal of tabletop protective coverings are described. The tabletop protective coverings can be retrieved from atop a table, bench or bed, such as, for example, soiled paper from a medical examination table.

[0017]Embodiments of the invention work with and can be adapted for any type of table, bed or bench on which a protective covering material is used to protect the underlying structure and / or an entity (person or thing) that may rest upon the structure. When used for soiled paper from a medical examination table, safe and efficient collection, storage and disposal of the used medical examination paper can be accomplished, thereby reducing the risk of spreading infections in healthcare settings such as medical examination rooms.

[0018]FIG. 1 shows a medical examination table utilizing an assembly of an embodiment of the present invention to retrieve and dispose of medical examination paper. Referring to FIG. 1, an assembly 100 for d...

No. 62 / 004,342, filed May 29, 2014, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety, including any figures, tables, or drawings.BACKGROUND[0002]In a busy medical practice, doctors, nurses and medical staff examine many patients on medical examination tables overlaid with examination paper. Such tables are lined with disposable paper to effectively protect the table surface from soiling and, importantly, to prevent infectious agents from being spread from one patient to the next as each is examined, as the paper is simply removed and replaced with a new, clean sheet of paper after each patient examination. The removed sheet is generally torn and / or wadded and placed into the trash; however, this method of disposal is not only inefficient and unhygienic but also poses a potential health hazard. For example, trash cans may quickly overflow and pot...
