Automated toilet seat system with quick disconnect cable

Abstract

Aspects of the invention are directed to an automated sanitary toilet seat system with a quick connect/disconnect cable. The system includes a sanitary toilet seat assembly having a toilet seat with a first end and a second end, a tubular sheet adapted to be conveyed from the first end to a take-up shaft proximate the second end, and a motor for operatively driving the take-up shaft to advance the tubular plastic in a travel direction. The system also includes a first electrical cable coupled at one end to the toilet seat assembly. A first connector is provided on the other end of the first cable. The system further includes a second electrical cable connected at one end to a power source and providing a second connector at the opposite end. The first and second connectors are detachably coupled so that the toilet seat assembly can be operatively connected to the power source while facilitating rapid disconnection of the toilet seat assembly for maintenance or replacement.

1 . A method of providing maintenance to an automated sanitary toilet seat assembly, comprising the steps of:
 providing a powered sanitary toilet seat assembly with an electrical cable coupled to the toilet seat assembly and having a first connector detachable coupled with a second connector;   decoupling the first connector from the second connector;   providing maintenance to the sanitary toilet seat.   
   
   
       2 . The method as recited in  claim 1 , further including the step of removing the sanitary toilet seat to a geographically remote location for providing maintenance. 
   
   
       3 . The method as recited in  claim 1 , further including the step of providing a replacement sanitary toilet seat during maintenance.
