Abstract

A disposable cover for use with a remote control device for providing a protective sanitation barrier to human infection includes a rear member having a flat surface. A front curved member is integrally molded in a seamless unitary, one-piece construction with the rear member at a plurality of rounded surfaces to form a single-use, disposable protective enclosure. An anti-bacterial compound impregnates the rear member, the front curved member and the rounded surfaces for destroying bacteria on the remote control device. An orifice is formed in the rear member for enabling the remote control device to be inserted into and removed from the enclosure. Finally, the front member, rear member and the rounded surfaces are comprised of a flexible, stretchable and transparent material for conforming to the shape of the remote control device for providing a disposable, protective sanitation barrier to human infection.

Claims (27)

1. A disposable cover for use with a remote control device for providing a protective barrier to human infection comprising:

a rear member having a flat surface;

a front curved member integrally molded in a seamless unitary, one-piece construction with said rear member at a plurality of rounded surfaces to form a single-use, disposable protective enclosure;

an anti-bacterial compound impregnating said rear member, said front curved member and said rounded surfaces for destroying bacteria on a remote control device; and

an orifice formed in said rear member for enabling said remote control device to be inserted into and removed from said enclosure, said front member, said rear member and said rounded surfaces being comprised of a flexible, stretchable and transparent material for conforming to the shape of said remote control device for providing a disposable, protective sanitation barrier to human infection.

2. The disposable cover of claim 1 wherein said rounded surfaces enable said orifice to close for enclosing said remote control device.

3. The disposable cover of claim 1 wherein said orifice is parallel to an oblong dimension of said flat surface of said rear member.

4. The disposable cover of claim 1 wherein said cover is comprised of a latex material.

5. The disposable cover of claim 1 wherein said cover is comprised of a polyurethane compound.

6. The disposable cover of claim 1 wherein said cover is comprised of polyvinyl chloride.

7. The disposable cover of claim 1 wherein said cover is comprised of nitrile rubber.

8. The disposable cover of claim 1 wherein said cover is comprised of silicon.

9. The disposable cover of claim 1 wherein said cover is comprised of neoprene.

10. The disposable cover of claim 1 wherein said cover is comprised of styrenic elastomer.

11. A disposable cover for use with a remote control device for providing a protective barrier to human infection comprising:

a rear member having a flat surface;

a front curved member integrally molded in a seamless unitary, one-piece construction with said rear member at a plurality of rounded surfaces to form a single-use, disposable protective enclosure;

an anti-bacterial compound impregnating said rear member, said front curved member and said rounded surfaces for destroying bacteria on a remote control device, said anti-bacterial compound comprising a Styrene-Ethylene-Butylene (Ethylene)-Styrene Copolymer compound; and

an orifice formed in said rear member for enabling said remote control device to be inserted into and removed from said enclosure, said front member, said rear member and said rounded surfaces being comprised of a flexible, stretchable and transparent material for conforming to the shape of said remote control device for providing a disposable, protective sanitation barrier to human infection.

12. A disposable cover for use with a remote control device for providing a protective barrier to human infection comprising:

a front member having a continuously flat surface;

a rear member having a flat rectangular surface, said rear member integrally molded in a seamless unitary, one-piece construction with said front member at a plurality of rounded surfaces to form a single-use, disposable protective enclosure;

an anti-bacterial compound impregnating said front member, said rear member and said rounded surfaces for destroying bacteria on a remote control device; and

an orifice formed in said rectangular surface of said rear member for enabling a remote control device to be inserted into and removed from said enclosure, said front member, said rear member and said rounded surfaces being comprised of a flexible, stretchable and transparent material for conforming to the shape of said remote control device for providing a disposable, protective sanitation barrier to human infection.

13. The disposable cover of claim 12 wherein said rounded surfaces enable said orifice to close for enclosing said remote control device.

14. The disposable cover of claim 12 wherein said flat rectangular surface of said rear member includes a long dimension and a short dimension.

15. The disposable cover of claim 14 wherein said orifice is formed parallel to said long dimension of said flat rectangular surface.
