Disposable absorbent auto seat cover and method of use

Abstract

A disposable, highly absorbent vehicle seat cover and method of using same. The cover can be used by police officers to protect their police car seats from stains and odors caused by apprehended suspects riding in the police cars. The cover includes a highly absorbent material, such as a super absorbent polymer, so that urine and other substances are quickly absorbed into the cover instead of staining the vehicle seat and defiling the vehicle. The cover can also be conveniently attached and removed from the vehicle seat by means of hook and loop or other fasteners.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . In combination: 
 a vehicle seat having attachment means; and    a plurality of disposable covers, each said cover containing a super absorbent material and having fasteners that mate with said attachment means, whereby each said cover is removably attachable to said seat.    
     
     
         2 . The combination of  claim 1 , wherein each said seat cover includes a fluid resistant liner on a bottom side thereof.  
     
     
         3 . The combination of  claim 1 , wherein said attachment means comprises tabs disposed on said vehicle seat and said fasteners comprising bands which extend from each said cover.  
     
     
         4 . The combination of  claim 3 , wherein said tabs and said bands comprise hook and loop fasteners.  
     
     
         5 . A method of protecting a vehicle seat from soiling by an individual, said method comprising the following steps: 
 (a) providing a plurality of disposable seat covers made of highly absorbent material, each cover including cover fasteners for attachment to the seat;    (b) providing the vehicle seat with seat fasteners that mate with the cover fasteners;    (c) attaching a first one of the seat covers to the seat;    (d) placing the individual in the covered seat;    (e) removing the individual from the covered seat; and    (f) disposing of the cover.    
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , further comprising repeating steps (c)-(f) with a second individual and a second one of the covers.  
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the vehicle is a police vehicle, the individual is suspected or has committed a crime, and the individual soils the seat cover after set (d) and prior to step (e), whereby the vehicle seat is protected from soiling.  
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising repeating steps (c)-(f) with a second individual and a second one of the covers.
