Abstract: With a device for applying and conveying a hose-shaped protective covering for a toilet seat, the unwinding spool is supported by a switch tube which passes through it and which transmits the movement of a push button, protruding from the housing, to a switch arranged inside the housing. The unwinding spool can rotate loosely on the switch tube and is essentially independent from the switch tube's axial motion.

Abstract: In the take-up spool of a device for applying and conveying a hose-shaped protective covering for a toilet seat, a cavity is provided into which disc-shaped tablets can be inserted for deodorization and/or disinfection. The cavity has stops for securing the tablets' position and openings for discharging the agents given off by the tablets to the air.

Abstract: A tubular toilet seat cover is stored on a reel and pulled off from this reel as it is replaced, and the used cover is taken up on another reel. By actuating a drive mechanism, the cover is moved through a predetermined distance in such manner that when it is in the mounted position, the toilet seat body is surrounded by the tubular cover and the cover covers the important part of the toilet seat. The toilet seat, drive mechanism and storage device constitute a structural unit which is mountable as a whole on a conventional toilet seat, or it may constitute a unit with a toilet seat.
