Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing measured lengths of a sleeve material upon an armature, especially adapted for dispensing a plastic cover upon a toilet seat, includes a source of sleeve material fed onto the armature and collected upon a take-up reel. The cover is provided with a uniform series of marks along its length which are sensed and counted to control the operation of a motor drive which directs the sleeve material to and from the armature. Timer circuits are employed to cause motor cut-off if the required length of sleeve is not dispensed within a given length of time and to inhibit motor start for a fixed period after a dispensation. The sleeve-accepting end of the armature may include an angular horn to permit the sleeve to smoothly pass onto the seat.

Abstract: Apparatus for supplying a toilet seat with fresh and sanitary cover material and taking up the used material. The cover material is folded lengthwise and is dispensed from a supply reel to one terminus of the seat. The material encircles the body of the seat and a take-up reel at the other terminus of the seat takes up the used material and at the same time pulls in fresh material. Both termini of the seat are attached to and spaced from the toilet bowl. The seat is provided with a slot to guide the material which is provided with beads along its edges to ride within the slots.
