Soft seal bottle band
View Patent ↗A band of stretchable material has dimensions suitable to be stretched over the neck of a urinal bottle. The neck has exposed edges that can come into contact with a user's hand, arms, male member, and/or any other portions of a user's anatomy, and the band is sized so that it covers those edges of the bottle neck. The band has a length and a diameter, and that diameter is smaller than the diameter of the neck in a urinal bottle. That way, when stretched over the neck, the bank will cover the edges of the neck of the bottle. In use, the band will also cover at least some portion of the opening in the neck of the urinal bottle.
1. A combination of a urinal and a band, comprising in combination:
a urinal adapted to contain liquid, said urinal having a neck portion, and said neck portion having an opening adapted for passage of liquid;
said neck portion having a neck diameter;
a band composed of stretchable material, said band having a thin body, said thin body having an upper portion and a lower portion, said thin body having a height, and said band having a band diameter less than said neck diameter;
said band having a first condition which is an undeformed configuration which is substantially cylindrical; and said band having a second condition when installed such that said lower portion of said band being stretched over and surrounding said neck portion, and said upper portion of said band being disposed over said opening of said neck portion so as to partially cover said opening so as to form a generally circular flat opening over said neck;
whereby said band protects again spilling and prevents contact of a user's body with edges of said neck portion.
2. A device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said band is composed of silicone and is durable, washable, and non allergenic, and can be used repeatedly without losing its shape and stretch.
