The present invention relates to hygienic seat coverings and, more particularly, to a method of hygienically and aesthetically preparing a seat, wherein the method embodies a tailored 100% natural fiber, graphically designed top-side fabric, sewn to a non-slip vinyl/polymer bottom side.
When using public seating, such as on a bus, subway car, train, taxi, bench etc. many users of such seats have an inborn repulsion to the possibility that by sitting on the seat they may be coming in contact with something contagious or that can leave a stain, contamination, virus, bacteria, or odor on their person clothing.
As can be seen, there is a need for a method of hygienically and aesthetically preparing a seat, wherein the method embodies a tailored 100% natural fiber top fabric sewn to a non-slip vinyl polymer backing placed on the seating surface. The tailored accessory may be placed over the seat portion of a chair, bench, plane seat, theater seat, park grass etc., creating a clean and hygienic barrier between the seat and the user.
This is a new category of accessory that no one has ever invented or brought to market, that will be referred to as a “SEAT SCARF”
Having absolutely nothing to do with the traditional neck scarf, the Seat Scarf is a fashionable Hygienic PPE barrier approximately 20 inches long and 15 inches wide, 1/16- 1/18 of an inch thick or the approximate proportions of a large formal dinner napkin. It is placed by a conscientious user on the top of any seating surface, i.e., chair, park bench, subway seat, park grass etc, before sitting down. The dimensions comfortably protect and accommodate a single occupant seat and do not overlap the protected seat's backrest or extend beyond the user's seat portion's periphery.
The Seat Scarf consists of a 100% natural fiber, decorated top seating surface for breathability, and the sitting user's comfort. The bottom comprises a non-slip, tacky vinyl, PVC, or polymeric material that prevents slippage and firmly grips to all seat surfaces leaving no adhesion or residue on the seating surface itself. Both these sides (top and bottom) are joined and held together with perimeter stitching.
The Seat Scarf's top seating side will have various colors, decorative designs, graphic images, and logos. It can also be folded and held together closed with its corner or side 3.5/4 inch hanging elastic strap so that the top SITTING side never contacts the potentially soiled bottom SEATING side and conveniently stows away in a handbag, backpack, or pocket.
The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplated modes of carrying out exemplary embodiments of the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, since the scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.
Broadly, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method of hygienically and aesthetically preparing a conscientious user's seat, wherein the method embodies a tailored 100% natural fiber decorated top-side fabric with a non-slip vinyl/polymer backing.
