Abstract: A sanitary toilet seat assembly is improved with a removable tray for capturing fluid and filth transported into the housing by the tubular protective film traveling from the toilet seat on to the take up spool in the housing. The removable tray is configured to be placed between a lower inner surface of a base member and the take-up shaft of the sanitary toilet seat assembly. The base member can include spaced vertical partitions extending from the inner surface of the base member and the removable tray can be positioned between the vertical partitions. The removable tray can include side walls in sliding contact with the vertical partitions. The base member can include a concave rear surface extending from the lower inner surface and the removable tray can include a corresponding shaped rear wall to slidingly engage the concave rear surface. The removable tray can also include a front wall extending from the side walls.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention are directed to an automated sanitary toilet seat system with a quick connect/disconnect cable. The system includes a sanitary toilet seat assembly having a toilet seat with a first end and a second end, a tubular sheet adapted to be conveyed from the first end to a take-up shaft proximate the second end, and a motor for operatively driving the take-up shaft to advance the tubular plastic in a travel direction. The system also includes a first electrical cable coupled at one end to the toilet seat assembly. A first connector is provided on the other end of the first cable. The system further includes a second electrical cable connected at one end to a power source and providing a second connector at the opposite end. The first and second connectors are detachably coupled so that the toilet seat assembly can be operatively connected to the power source while facilitating rapid disconnection of the toilet seat assembly for maintenance or replacement.

Abstract: An improved electromechanical assembly advances a tubular protective covering around a toilet seat. The covering is stored on a reel, and pulled off from the reel as it is replaced, and the used covering is taken up on a second reel. An activation button exposed through the top of the assembly is depressed to actuate a switch assembly which, in turn, actuates a drive mechanism. By actuating the drive mechanism, the cover is moved through a predetermined distance in such a manner that when it is in the mounted position, the toilet seat body is completely surrounded by the tubular cover. An upper housing portion has an integral pressure blade for exerting a constant downward force on the advancing protective covering. The pressure ensures adequate contact between the covering and a counter shaft assembly which communicates magnetically with internal electronic circuitry.
