  • Patent number: 7387202
    Abstract: A convenient, portable, “all-in-one” kit that contains all of the feeding accessories that a child would require for a meal, and also provides a sanitary environment for eating the meal. The kit is comprised of members including a container member, which is a cup; and closing member, which is a lid with a controlled-flow drinking spout. The cup fitted with the lid is commonly known as a sippy cup. The lidded cup serves as an enclosure for the other members of the kit. The kit also includes a utensil member, such as a spoon or fork or both. The entire kit is inexpensive and therefore disposable after a single usage. A unique feature about the kit is the inclusion of a protective member that is a specialized sheet that can be adhesively fastened to a table or highchair and, as such, provides a sanitary zone for eating the meal.

  • Patent number: 7247360
    Abstract: The invention is an easy to fold sanitary toilet seat cover for preventing direct contact between an individual's skin and the top and the side surfaces of a toilet seat. When unfolded, the toilet seat cover is sufficiently large to not only cover the entire elongated toilet seat, but also cover the sides of the seat. The disposable toilet seat cover comprises a polygonal annulus that is comprised of a quilted multilayer sheet having a water impervious layer and an absorbent layer, a wipe that is a detachable inner oval section that provides an opening to the toilet, and an adhesive fastening means for temporarily securing the polygonal annulus toilet seat. The water impervious layer comprises a coated layer and/or a filmic layer. The wipe detaches from an inner ovalled edge of the annulus, and is functional as a sanitary wipe or towel.

  • Publication number: 20040189066
    Abstract: The invention provides a cover for a shopping cart having a horizontal bar (e.g. handle) and a child's seat, wherein the horizontal bar is adjacent and offset by a space from restraint railing of the child's seat. The restraint railing is typically the framework that is proximal to the front/leg hole of a child's seat. The disposable shopping cart cover is a flexible planar sheet of a sanitary polymeric film having a back side and a front side, and a pressure sensitive adhesive coating on the back side of the sheet. The cover can be adhered and stretched taut across the space between the horizontal bar and the restraint railing, providing a sanitary protective covering over the horizontal bar and the restraint railing of the child's seat. The adhered planar sheet spanning the space provides an activity center. The adhesive coating is used to adhere the covering either directly to the bar and the restraint railing, or to loop around the bar and/or railing and attach with the adhesive coating face-to-face.
