SLEEVES AND THE LIKE HAVING ANTI-MICROBIAL PROPERTIES FOR USE IN RESTAURANTS AND OTHER PUBLIC AND PRIVATE FACILITIES

摘要

Sleeves, menus, tablecloths, pens, door push covers and other restaurant-type articles having anti-microbial properties to prevent the passage of microorganisms. Sleeves may be used with condiment containers, pens, door knobs, menus, chair arms, door pushes, etc. The articles herein are fabricated of a material impregnated with anti-microbial chemicals and/or compounds. The material is also non-absorbent (i.e., water resistant) allowing the articles to be wiped clean using conventional commercial cleaning agents. Materials used for fabricating tablecloths, for example, may have fibers impregnated with anti-microbial chemical and/or chemicals. Impregnating a material with one or more anti-microbial chemicals and/or compounds results in a material having the following properties: (i) water resistant; (ii) flexible and (iii) microorganism resistant.
