Title: Disease Protection Sheets

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates generally to a disposable chair sheet. More specifically, the present invention is related to a device that is designed to properly release sheets that are disposable and water resistant. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Maintaining sanitary conditions is important as some diseases such as Covid-19 can be transmitted through tears, sweat, or urine. Therefore, all places, not only hospitals, where new people or patients frequently visit should consider hygiene seriously. Using disposable medical devices and disposable covers for beds and chairs would greatly prevent the diseases from being transmitted. 
     An objective of the present invention is to provide a sheet that is disposable and water resistant. The plurality of sheets is stored in a container and a user may pull out each sheet at a time. The sheet can be placed on a patient&#39;s chair and disposed of after it has been used. Additional features and benefits are further discussed in the sections below. 
     SUMMARY 
     In accordance with the present invention, a novel device is provided that requires a plurality of chairs with numbers, a container, sheets having numbers that match one or more of the plurality of numbers attached to the chairs, a chair transceiver and a container transceiver. 
     In one embodiment, the sheets include a thin layer of square structure. The sheets can be uniform in size, cut and thickness and latex-free. 
     In some embodiment, the device of the present invention may include codes that indicate a specific command word. 
     In another embodiment, the container may include a wall mounting bracket. 
     In yet another embodiment, the container transceiver of the present invention may include a speaker that is configured to make a sound and a light to notify the user that one or more of the sheets are attached to the seat portion of the chair.

     DETAIL DESCRIPTIONS OF THE INVENTION 
     All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. 
     The present invention provides a sheet that is disposable and water resistant. As some diseases can be transmitted through tears, sweat, or urine, the present invention protects patients, medical staff, and any users from being exposed to the diseases. The sheet may be placed on a chair or any desired object. 
     In a preferred embodiment, as shown in  FIG.  1   , the present invention comprises a plurality of sheets  10 , a container  20 , and a plurality of chairs  30 . The sheet  10  provides a thin layer of square structure, although any desired shape may be used. 
     In the preferred embodiment, all sheets  10  are labeled with unique numbers  40  or codes (that indicate a specific command word) so that the users can easily find the designated chairs  30 . For example, as shown in  FIG.  2   , the first sheet  10   a  can be labeled C1, and the next sheet  10   b  can be labeled C2. The number can change in sequence. The sheet  10  has enough strength against breaking and tearing. In the other embodiment, the sheet  10  is latex-free and uniform in size, cut and thickness. Ins some embodiments, the sheet  10  can be made of disinfectant material for killing bacteria, fungi and viruses. 
     As can be seen in  FIG.  3   , the plurality of sheets  10  is interfolded and stored in the container  20 . 
     In the preferred embodiment, the container  20  provides a rectangular box structure, although any desired shape or design may be used. As the sheets  10  are interfolded, the next available sheet  10  is dispensed as the user pulls out a sheet  10  from the container  20 . As can be seen in  FIG.  3   , the container  20  can be mounted on a wall using a wall mounting bracket  50 . 
     In the preferred embodiment, each container  20  stores  40  sheets, although any desired amount of sheets  10  may be stored. 
     In the other embodiments, the sheets  10  and the container  20  are colored and decorated based on the user&#39;s preferences. The sheets  10  and the container  20  may be colored for, but not limited to, airlines, cruise ships, hotels, and hospitals. 
     In one embodiment, as shown in  FIG.  4   , the present invention may include a plurality of chairs  30  having a plurality of numbers  40  attached to a seat portion  60  of the chairs  30 . The container  20  may include a body  70  for holding the plurality of sheets  10  and an opening  80  for removing the sheets from the body  70 , as shown in  FIG.  5   . 
     In such embodiments, the body  70  of the container  20  may include a first end  70   a  with the opening  80  positioned substantially in the central area of the first end  70   a  and a second end  70   b.    
     As described above, the plurality of sheets  10  may include numbers  40  that match one or more of the plurality of numbers  40  attached to the seat portion  60  of the chairs  30 . 
     The sheets  10  can be folded in a predetermined pattern and include a leading edge  11  and a trailing edge  12 . For example, the sheets  10  can be a rectangular sheet and folded in half as shown in  FIG.  6   . 
     In one embodiment, the sheets  10  can be releasably joined together by connecting a trailing edge  12  of a first sheet  10   a  (which can be the sheet first sheet to be pulled out of the container) and a leading edge  11  of a subsequent sheet (second sheet)  10   b  so that the user can easily pull the sheet  10  out of the container  20 . 
     In some embodiments, the present invention, as shown in  FIG.  7   , may include a chair transceiver  90   b  attached to the plurality of chairs  30 . The chair transceiver  90   b  can be configured to monitor the seat portion  60  of the chair  30  and notify when one or more of the sheets  10  are attached to the seat portion  60  of the chair  30 . The present invention may also include a container transceiver  90   a  attached to the container  20  and communicatively connected to the chair transceiver  90   b  to notify the user whenever the sheet  10  is placed on the seat portion  60  of the chair  30 . 
     In such embodiments, the container transceiver  90   a  may include a speaker configured to make a sound and a light source (e.g., LED) configured to emit light when the chair transceiver  90   b  notifies that one or more of the sheets  10  are attached to the seat portion  60  of the chair  30 . 
     The user can place the sheet  10  on a chair  30 . The sheet  10  of the present invention protects the patients or any users from infection bottom leakage from other patients sitting in the chairs  30 . The sheet  10  can be easily disposed of after it has been used. 
     Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
