Protective Anti-Microbial Arm Chair Pad Covers

Abstract

The present disclosure provides for a protective, anti-microbial armchair pad. The present invention is intended to maintain a substantially clean environment on the arm of an armchair as well as regulate the temperature of said armchair arm. Generally, the present invention comprises a pad covered with material, wherein said material is coated with some sort of anti-microbial agent, preferably the bisphenol 5-chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenol. Further, the present invention is comprised of straps equipped with some sort of attachment mechanism.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A pad, comprising:
 a padding having a top surface, a bottom surface, a front end, an attachment mechanism to affix said pad to an arm of a chair, and a distal end;   wherein said padding is covered by at least one non-porous material,   said material being coated with a residue-producing antimicrobial.   
     
     
         2 . The pad of  claim 1 , wherein the attachment mechanism is a plurality of straps that are capable of being tied together to affix the pad to an arm of a chair. 
     
     
         3 . The pad of  claim 1 , wherein the attachment mechanism is a plurality of straps equipped with hook and loop fasteners. 
     
     
         4 . The pad of  claim 1 , wherein the attachment mechanism utilizes magnets. 
     
     
         5 . (canceled) 
     
     
         6 . The pad of  claim 1 , wherein the residue-producing antimicrobial is a bisphenol. 
     
     
         7 . The pad of  claim 6 , wherein the bisphenol is 5-chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenol. 
     
     
         8 . (canceled) 
     
     
         9 . (canceled)

         11 . (canceled). 
     
     
         12 . The pad of  claim 1 , wherein the residue-producing antimicrobial is a halophenol. 
     
     
         13 . The pad of  claim 1 , wherein the residue-producing antimicrobial is a quaternary ammonium compound. 
     
     
         14 . The pad of  claim 1 , wherein the residue-producing antimicrobial is a biguanide. 
     
     
         15 . The pad of  claim 1 , wherein the residue-producing antimicrobial is an anilide. 
     
     
         16 . The pad of  claim 1 , wherein the material is comprised of 100% solution dyed acrylic. 
     
     
         17 . A method of protecting a user from a surface, comprising:
 placing a pad, comprising:
 a padding having a top surface, a bottom surface, a front end, an attachment mechanism to affix said pad to an arm of a chair, and a distal end;
 wherein said padding is covered by at least one non-porous material, 
 said material being coated with a residue-producing antimicrobial; and 
 
   affixing said pad to said surface.   
     
     
         18 . A pad, comprising:
 a padding having a top surface, a bottom surface, a front end, an attachment mechanism to affix said pad to an arm of a chair, and a distal end;   wherein said padding is covered by at least one non-porous material,   said material being coated with an antimicrobial.   
     
     
         19 . The pad of  claim 18 , wherein the material is coated with an anti-microbial heavy metal. 
     
     
         20 . The pad of  claim 18 , wherein the heavy metal is a silver-based compound. 
     
     
         21 . The pad of  claim 18 , wherein the heavy metal is a mercury-based compound.
