Toilet Shield System

Abstract

A toilet shield system for covering a toilet and preventing release of microbes and small waste particles after flushing. In one embodiment, the toilet system comprises two separate detachably attached sections made of tissue-type, non-porous, disposable and biodegradable material, impregnated with an antimicrobial agent, and the bottom section includes a central cutout flap portion having a perforated tear line. The top and bottom sections are coupled together by a perforated section that allows for easy separation. The toilet system also contains a pouch section holding one or more disposable paper wipes, one or more sanitary hand wipes, and a set of paper gloves. The packaging of the toilet system is in the design of an origami that allows all components of the system to be flushable and biodegradable.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A toilet shield system comprising:
 a top section adapted to substantially cover the back of a toilet and a bottom section adapted to substantially cover a toilet seat and to prevent release of microbes and small waste particles after flushing; wherein the bottom section includes a central cutout flap portion having a perforated tear line that is adapted to be torn along the tear line and pushed down into a bowl of the toilet.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the top and bottom sections are disposable. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the material of the system comprising tissue-type, non-porous paper. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the top and bottom sections are each comprised of biodegradable sheet impregnated with an antimicrobial agent. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the top and the bottom sections are detachably attached by a perforated section that allows for easy separation. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the top section attaches to the back of a toilet by one or more adhesive tabs disposed on the exterior of the top section. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom section attaches to the toilet seat by one or more adhesive tabs disposed on the exterior of the bottom section. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom section further comprises one or more handles for pulling the bottom section off the toilet seat. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the top section further comprising a first disposable pouch coupled to the interior of the top section. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the first pouch further comprising one or more disposable paper wipes. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the first pouch further comprising one or more disposable sanitary hand wipes. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the top section further comprising a second pouch attached to the exterior of the top section having a pair of disposable paper gloves placed inside the pouch. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom section adhered to the toilet seat is not impregnated with an antimicrobial agent. 
     
     
         14 . The toilet system of  claim 1 , wherein the top and bottom sections are folded together in an origami style prior to use. 
     
     
         15 . The toilet system of  claim 1 , wherein the top and bottom sections are shaped to match the shape of the bowl and a toilet cover. 
     
     
         16 . The toilet system of  claim 15 , wherein the top and bottom sections are oval or rectangular or square in shape. 
     
     
         17 . A method of preventing microbes and small waste particles from releasing into the air when toilet seat cover is in use, the method comprising the steps of:
 unfolding the toilet shield system from a folded form;   placing the top and bottom sections on the toilet;   securing the system with adhesive tabs located on the top and bottom sections of the system;   removing paper gloves from the second pouch located on the exterior of the top section;   removing one or more sanitary items from the first pouch located on the interior of the top section;   after use, peeling the bottom section by lifting adhesion tabs on both sides and placing into the toilet bowl;   peeling the top section and placing into the toilet bowl; and   flushing the toilet shield system with content of toilet bowl; thereby causing the plume effect to be contained and flushed away.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the folded form is an origami style folding. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the system is folded such that the at least one of the first pouch and the second pouch is exposed and thereby easily accessible by a user. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein the step of removing the gloves from the second pouch and the step of removing one or more sanitary items from the first pouch are performed before unfolding the toilet shield system from a folded form.
