Abstract
Abstract A cover system (10) which simultaneously serves as an ornamental decoration and a storage container for a toilet roll (12). The cover system (10) is in the overall contour of a figure member and includes a body member (14), a head member (46), and a plurality of appendages (26, 28, 30 and 32). The head member (46) is releasably securable to the body member (14) by use of Velcro fasteners and allows interchangeability of variously designed heads (46 and 46'). Additionally, the appendages (26, 28, 30 and 32) provide for a positional maintenance mechanism (40) which allows the user to maintain a predetermined positional contour set by the user for the appendages (26, 28, 30 and 32). Additionally, the cover system (10) includes a scent mechanism (52 and 52') which may be releasably mounted and secured to the cover system (10) to provide a pleasing odoriferous scent. In order to further allow changeability of cover system ( 10) to a compatible aesthetic interfacing with the surrounding decor, clothing members (62 and 64) may be mounted on cover system (10). In this manner, there is provided an ornamental cover system (10) which simultaneously serves as a storage container.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
A cover system adapted to contain a toilet roll comprising: (a) a body member defining an internal chamber having a volumetric contour adapted for insert of said toilet roll; (b) at least one appendage member having an extended length and fixedly secured to said body member, said appendage member including an outer appendage layer member forming an enclosed appendage chamber and a resilient material composition inserted within said enclosed appendage chamber; (c) a head member releasably secured to said body member; and, (d) means for varying and maintaining a positional contour of said appendage member substantially throughout said extended length of said appendage member, said means for varying and maintaining said positional contour passing through at least a portion of said resilient material composition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
124 words
A cover system adapted to contain a toilet roll comprising: (a) a body member defining an internal chamber having a volumetric contour adapted for insert of said toilet roll; (b) at least one appendage member having an extended length and fixedly secured to said body member, said appendage member including an outer appendage layer member forming an enclosed appendage chamber and a resilient material composition inserted within said enclosed appendage chamber; (c) a head member releasably secured to said body member; and, (d) means for varying and maintaining a positional contour of said appendage member substantially throughout said extended length of said appendage member, said means for varying and maintaining said positional contour passing through at least a portion of said resilient material composition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
