Abstract

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 and a rear member integrally molded in a seamless unitary, one-piece construction with the front member at a plurality of rounded surfaces for forming a single-use, disposable protective enclosure. An orifice is formed in and parallel to an oblong dimension of the rear member for enabling most any size remote control device to be inserted into and removed from the enclosure. The rounded surfaces designed into the disposable cover facilitate the closing of the orifice for enclosing the remote control device. The front member, rear member and rounded surfaces are each comprised of a flexible, stretchable and transparent material for conforming to the shape of the remote control device and for providing a disposable, protective sanitation barrier to human infection.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . 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 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; and    an orifice formed in and parallel to an oblong dimension of said rear member for enabling a remote control device of a plurality of various sized remote control devices to be inserted into and removed from said enclosure, said rounded surfaces enabling said orifice to close for enclosing said remote control device, 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 and for providing a disposable, protective sanitation barrier to human infection.    
   
   
       2 . The cover of  claim 1  wherein said cover is comprised of a polyurethane compound.  
   
   
       3 . The cover of  claim 1  wherein said cover is comprised of latex.  
   
   
       4 . The cover of  claim 1  wherein said cover is comprised of polyvinyl chloride.  
   
   
       5 . The cover of  claim 1  wherein said cover is comprised of nitrile rubber.  
   
   
       6 . The cover of  claim 1  wherein said cover is comprised of silicon.  
   
   
       7 . The cover of  claim 1  wherein said cover is comprised of neoprene.  
   
   
       8 . The cover of  claim 1  wherein said cover is comprised of styrenic elastomer.  
   
   
       9 . 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 curved surface along an oblong dimension of said rear member and 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; and    an orifice formed in said curved surface of said rear member for enabling a remote control device of a plurality of various sized remote control devices to be inserted into and removed from said enclosure, said rounded surfaces enabling said orifice to close for enclosing said remote control device, 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 and for providing a disposable, protective sanitation barrier to human infection.    
   
   
       10 . The cover of  claim 9  wherein said orifice is formed parallel to said oblong dimension in said rear member.  
   
   
       11 . 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 converging surface formed opposite an oblong dimension of said front member, said converging surface including a first slanted surface and a second slanted 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; and    an orifice formed in said converging surface of said rear member for enabling a remote control device of a plurality of various sized remote control devices to be inserted into and removed from said enclosure, said rounded surfaces enabling said orifice to close for enclosing said remote control device, 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 and for providing a disposable, protective sanitation barrier to human infection.    
   
   
       12 . The cover of  claim 11  wherein said orifice is formed parallel to said oblong dimension in said front member.  
   
   
       13 . 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 including a long dimension and a short dimension, 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; and    an orifice formed in said rectangular surface of said rear member for enabling a remote control device of a plurality of various sized remote control devices to be inserted into and removed from said enclosure, said rounded surfaces enabling said orifice to close for enclosing said remote control device, 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 and for providing a disposable, protective sanitation barrier to human infection.    
   
   
       14 . The cover of  claim 13  wherein said orifice is formed parallel to said long dimension of said flat rectangular surface.  
   
   
       15 . The cover of  claim 13  wherein said orifice is formed parallel to said short dimension of said flat rectangular surface.
