Abstract:
A slacks valet mechanism, to prevent the slacks of a user of a lavatory stall toilet from becoming soiled by preventing its contact with the floor, includes an arm coupled to the stall door/wall, being movable between stowed and deployed positions. The stowed arm is proximate to the lavatory door, and the deployed arm has a portion proximate to the toilet, to thereon receive the lowered slacks to prevent soiling. A replaceable cartridge is releasably securable to the arm, and includes first and second reels, and a hygienic tape wound upon the first reel with an end fixedly secured to the second reel. The device incrementally advances an outermost portion of the hygienic tape on the first reel onto the second reel, for each cycle of the arm between the deployed and stowed positions, thereby exposing an unused tape portion on the arm for hygienic slacks support.

Claim (Index 1):
A slacks support device, for preventing the slacks worn by a user of a toilet in a lavatory enclosure from becoming soiled, said device configured to provide support to prevent the lowered slacks from hanging down, to prevent contact with a floor within the lavatory enclosure, said slacks support device comprising:\n an arm having a first end and a second end; a deployment mechanism secured to a portion of the lavatory enclosure, and configured to support said arm in a deployed position in relation to the toilet, and to provide selective motion of said arm to travel between said deployed position and a stowed position where said arm is in proximity to the lavatory enclosure; a cartridge comprising a first reel, a second reel, and a tape wound upon said first reel and having an end fixedly secured to said second reel; and means for releasably attaching said cartridge to said arm.
