Removable Toilet Seat Barrier

Abstract

A toilet seat barrier is disclosed that may be rotatably supported by a spindle to allow a user to apply the toilet seat barrier on a toilet seat surface without touching the toilet seat. An adhesive is provided on the bottom side of the toilet seat barrier to releasably secure the toilet seat barrier to the toilet seat surface. Perforations may be formed along a length of the toilet seat barrier so that the barrier may be sized to the seat. Further, tabs may be formed on the top side of the toilet seat barrier to allow a user to remove of the toilet seat barrier without touching the seat.

1 . A toilet seat barrier comprising:
 a sanitary barrier layer having a bottom side and a top side; and   an adhesive placed on at least a portion of the bottom side of the sanitary barrier layer, the adhesive for removably adhering the bottom side of the toilet seat barrier to a toilet seat surface;   wherein the toilet seat barrier is rollable such that the top side and the bottom side with the adhesive are placed into face-to-face contact with one another and wherein, when the toilet seat barrier is unrolled for application to a toilet seat, the adhesive separates from the top side of the sanitary barrier.   
     
     
         2 . The toilet seat barrier of  claim 1 , wherein the top side of the sanitary barrier layer includes at least one pull tab attached thereto. 
     
     
         3 . The toilet seat barrier of  claim 1 , wherein the top side of the sanitary barrier layer includes at least one pull tab that is integrated therewith. 
     
     
         4 . The toilet seat barrier of  claim 1 , wherein the adhesive adheres more strongly to a surface on the bottom side of the sanitary barrier layer than a surface on the top side of the sanitary barrier layer. 
     
     
         5 . The toilet seat barrier of  claim 1 , wherein the adhesive adheres more strongly to a surface on the bottom side of the sanitary barrier than to the toilet seat surface. 
     
     
         6 . The toilet seat barrier of  claim 1 , further comprising a core around which a length of the toilet seat barrier is wrapped to thereby form a toilet seat barrier roll. 
     
     
         7 . The toilet seat barrier of  claim 6 , wherein the bottom side of the toilet seat barrier faces radially outward relative to an axis of rotation of the core to expose the adhesive placed thereon on an outermost radial face of the roll. 
     
     
         8 . The toilet seat barrier of  claim 6 , wherein the bottom side of the toilet seat barrier faces radially inward relative to an axis of rotation of the core to protect the adhesive placed thereon. 
     
     
         9 . The toilet seat barrier of  claim 6 , wherein the toilet seat barrier has a plurality of transverse perforations formed along a length of the toilet seat barrier to form separable sections of the toilet seat barrier. 
     
     
         10 . The toilet seat barrier of  claim 9 , wherein a patch of adhesive placed on the bottom side of the toilet seat barrier proximate the perforations such that the patch of adhesive is closer to the perforations than a central location between the perforations. 
     
     
         11 . A toilet seat barrier roll assembly comprising:
 a toilet seat barrier roll including a sanitary barrier layer having a bottom side and a top side, and an adhesive placed on at least a portion of the bottom side of the sanitary barrier layer, the adhesive for removably adhering the bottom side of the toilet seat barrier to a toilet seat surface;   a core that supports the toilet seat barrier roll;   a spindle that engages the core; and   at least one handle attached to the spindle;   wherein the toilet seat barrier roll is rotatable about the spindle for application to the toilet seat surface.   
     
     
         12 . The toilet seat barrier roll assembly of  claim 11 , further comprising a case to protect the toilet seat barrier roll assembly while not in use. 
     
     
         13 . A method of using a toilet seat barrier on a toilet seat comprising:
 providing a toilet seat barrier roll assembly that includes a spindle that receives a core supporting a toilet seat barrier roll, the toilet seat barrier roll including a toilet seat barrier with a sanitary barrier layer having a bottom side and a top side, and an adhesive placed on at least a portion of the bottom side of the sanitary barrier layer; and   applying the toilet seat barrier to the toilet seat surface by rolling the toilet seat barrier onto the toilet seat surface;   wherein the adhesive on the bottom side of the toilet seat barrier removably adheres the toilet seat barrier to the toilet seat surface.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising the steps of:
 removing the toilet seat barrier from the toilet seat surface by applying a force to at least one pull tab that is attached to the top side of the toilet seat barrier; and   disposing of the toilet seat barrier.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising the steps of:
 removing the toilet seat barrier from the toilet seat surface by applying a force to at least one pull tab that is integrally formed in the top side of the toilet seat barrier; and   disposing of the toilet seat barrier.
