Lining dispensing portable enclosures

Abstract

Embodiments conveyed herein seek to disclose an apparatus, system, and method to protect an epithelial layer from surface contaminants. The apparatus can include a portable enclosure that includes an internal space(s). At least one deployable covering can be affixed to a surface of one of the internal spaces. The apparatus can have a deployed state and a closed state. The deployable covering may extend distal to the portable enclosure in the “deployed” state and may be positioned within the internal space in the closed state. The system can include a bench having at least one functional surface and the apparatus can be positioned proximate to functional surfaces. Deployable coverings may be positioned adjacent to and coplanar with functional surfaces. The method can include converting the apparatus from closed to deployed and positioning the deployable covering(s) adjacent to and coplanar with at least one functional surface.

1 . An apparatus for protecting an epithelial layer from surface contaminants, comprising:
 a portable enclosure comprising an internal space;   a deployable covering affixed to a surface of the internal space; and   wherein
 the apparatus comprises a deployed state and a closed state; 
 the deployable covering extends distal to the portable enclosure in the deployed state; and 
 the deployable covering is positioned within the internal space in the closed state. 
   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein
 the deployable covering comprises a first lateral side and a second lateral side;   the deployable covering comprises a first binding element affixed to the first lateral side and a second binding element affixed to the second lateral side; and   the first binding element demountably couples to the second binding element.   
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a securing component rotatably coupled to an external surface of the portable enclosure; and   wherein the securing component extends distal to the external surface of the portable enclosure.   
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a securing component coupled to an external surface of the portable enclosure; and   wherein the securing component
 extends distal to the external surface of the portable enclosure; and 
 comprises axial flexibility along a length of the securing component. 
   
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a securing component comprising a first end and a second end, the first end coupled to and extending distal to an external surface of the portable enclosure, the second end comprising a first fastening element; and   wherein
 the first fastening element comprises a first structure complementary to a second structure of a second fastening element; and 
 the second fastening element is positioned on the external surface or on another securing component coupled to the external surface. 
   
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a receptacle positioned within the internal space and functionally coupled to a surface of the internal space. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein
 the deployable covering comprises a surface; and   the surface comprises an antimicrobial coating.   
     
     
         8 . A system for enabling protection an epithelial layer from surface contaminants comprising:
 a bench comprising a functional surface;   the apparatus of  claim 1  positioned proximate to the functional surface; and   wherein the deployable covering is positioned adjacent to and coplanar with the functional surface.   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein
 the deployable covering comprises a first lateral side and a second lateral side, the first lateral side comprising a first binding element, the second lateral side comprising a second binding element; and   the first binding element and the second binding element extend across a non-functional surface of the bench and are demountably coupled to each other.   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein one or more of
 the first binding element comprises axial flexibility along a length of the first binding element; and   the second binding element comprises axial flexibility along a length of the second binding element.   
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 a securing component comprising a first end and a second end, the first end coupled to and extending distal to an external surface of the portable enclosure, the second end comprising a second fastening element; and   wherein
 the first fastening element comprises a first structure complementary to a second structure of a second fastening element; and 
 the second fastening element is positioned on the external surface or on another securing component coupled to the external surface. 
   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein
 the deployable covering comprises a surface; and   the surface comprises an antimicrobial coating.   
     
     
         13 . A method for enabling protection of an epithelial layer from surface contaminants comprising:
 converting the apparatus of  claim 1  from closed state to deployed state; and   positioning the deployable covering adjacent to and coplanar with a functional surface of a bench.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 extending one or more of a first binding element of the deployable covering and a second binding element of the deployable covering across a non-functional surface of the bench; and   demountably coupling the first binding element to the second binding element and thereby securing the apparatus of  claim 1  to the bench.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising coating a surface of the deployable covering with an antimicrobial material. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising coating a surface of the portable enclosure with an antimicrobial material.
