[0028] FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 depict perspective views of embodiments of a flexible film 100 and a toilet 902.

[0029] In accordance with the embodiments as depicted in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the toilet 902 has a bowl 901. The toilet 902 also has a movable toilet lid 900 (that is movable relative to the bowl 901). The movable toilet lid 900 has an inner lid surface 906 configured to be movable between an open condition and a closed condition relative to the bowl 901 of the toilet 902. The movable toilet lid 900 is pivotally movable or pivotally connectable to the inner lid surface 906. In the open condition, the bowl 901 is exposed for utilization by the user 908. In the closed condition, the bowl 901 is not exposed for utilization by the user 908.

[0030] The flexible film 100 is configured to be applied to (fixedly attached to) the toilet 902. Preferably, the flexible film 100 is configured to be applied to a surface of (associated with) the toilet 902 (such as, the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900, etc.). Preferably, the flexible film 100 is configured to be positioned relative to (fixedly attached, either directly or indirectly, to an aspect of or a part of) the toilet 902 having the bowl 901. Preferably, the toilet 902 has the movable toilet lid 900 as well. The movable toilet lid 900 has the inner lid surface 906 configured to be movable between the open condition and the closed condition relative to the bowl 901 of the toilet 902. Preferably, the flexible film 100 includes any one (or more of or at least one of) a layer, a sheet, a web, a flexible planar sheet, any other kind, and any equivalent thereof. Preferably, the flexible film 100 is configured to be applied to the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900 of the toilet 902. Preferably, the flexible film 100 has a light-reflective surface 102.

[0031] A technical effect of the flexible film 100 with the light-reflective surface 102 is that the light-reflective surface 102 may be utilized by the user 908 for self-inspection (such as, when needed for cleaning up after completing natural bodily functions) while the user 908 is positioned proximate to the light-reflective surface 102 of the flexible film 100 (once the flexible film 100 is adhered to an aspect of the toilet 902, such as to the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900).

[0032] Another technical effect of the flexible film 100 with the light-reflective surface 102 is that for the case where the movable toilet lid 900 is inadvertently shut with a hard force, the above arrangement reduces the possibility of breakage of the light-reflective surface 102 of the flexible film 100 and/or reduces the possibility of unwanted injury to the user 908 and/or unwanted replacement of the flexible film 100.

[0033] FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 depict perspective views of embodiments of the flexible film 100 of FIG. 1.

[0034] In accordance with the embodiments as depicted in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the flexible film 100 has the light-reflective surface 102 (configured to reflect light in a manner similar to a mirror). The light-reflective surface 102 may be curved or flat once installed.

[0035] Preferably, the flexible film 100 also has a planar surface 106 configured to be positioned and affixed (connected or adhered), at least in part, in a close proximate contact relationship with an aspect of the toilet 902 (such as, the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900, as depicted in the embodiments of FIG. 1 and/or FIG. 2). Preferably, the planar surface 106 faces away from the light-reflective surface 102. The planar surface 106 is configured to be positionable proximate to an aspect of the toilet 902 (such as, the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900, as depicted in the embodiments of FIG. 1 and/or FIG. 2). Preferably, the planar surface 106 is configured to be positioned and affixed (adhered), at least in part, in a close proximate contact relationship with an aspect of the toilet 902 (such as, the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900, as depicted in the embodiments of FIG. 1 and/or FIG. 2). Preferably, the planar surface 106 extends along a planar side of the flexible film 100. The planar surface 106 is configured to be positioned to face the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900 once the flexible film 100, in use, is positioned in a flattened relationship (condition, orientation) with an aspect of the toilet 902 (such as, with the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900, as depicted in the embodiments of FIG. 1 and/or FIG. 2).

[0036] Preferably, the flexible film 100 also has an adhesive layer 104 extending from the planar surface 106. The adhesive layer 104 is configured to contactably adhere, at least in part, the planar surface 106 of the flexible film 100 and an aspect of the toilet 902 (such as, the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900, as depicted in the embodiments of FIG. 1 and/or FIG. 2) with each other. This arrangement may be done once the flexible film 100, in use, is positioned in a flattened relationship with an aspect of the toilet 902 (such as, the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900) so that upon application of a pressure to the flexible film 100, the adhesive layer 104, in use, contactably adheres, at least in part, the planar surface 106 with the inner lid surface 906.

[0037] Preferably, the adhesive layer 104 is positioned on the planar surface 106 of the flexible film 100. The adhesive layer 104 is configured to adhere (fixedly adhere or removeably adhere, etc.), at least in part, the planar surface 106 of the flexible film 100 to the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900. This is done in such a way that the adhesive layer 104, in use, maintains the flexible film 100, in use, affixed (releasably affixed), at least in part, in a close proximate contact relationship with the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900.

[0038] Preferably, the adhesive layer 104 extends from the planar surface 106 of the flexible film 100 in such a way that the adhesive layer 104, in use, adheres, at least in part, the planar surface 106 of the flexible film 100 to the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900. The light-reflective surface 102, in use, faces away from the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900 (as depicted in the embodiments of FIG. 1 or FIG. 2) once the adhesive layer 104, in use, adheres, at least in part, the planar surface 106 to the inner lid surface 906.

[0039] Preferably, the adhesive layer 104 is configured to adhere (fixedly adhere), at least in part, the planar surface 106 of the flexible film 100 to the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900 in such a way that the adhesive layer 104, in use, maintains the flexible film 100 affixed, at least in part, in a close proximate contact relationship with the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900.

[0040] Preferably, the flexible film 100 also has a removable protection layer 108. The removable protection layer 108 may include a detachable protection film, a detachable protection layer, any other kind, and any equivalent thereof. The removable protection layer 108 is configured to detachably cover, at least in part, the adhesive layer 104. The removable protection layer 108 is also configured to be selectively detachable from the adhesive layer 104. This arrangement is done so that detachment of the removable protection layer 108 from the adhesive layer 104, in use, exposes the adhesive layer 104 for an adhering relationship (as depicted in the embodiments of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2) between the planar surface 106 of the flexible film 100 and any reasonable aspect or portion of the toilet 902 (such as, the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900).

[0041] Preferably, the removable protection layer 108 is detachably positionable on, and is also selectively detachable (removable) from the adhesive layer 104. This is done in such a way that (as depicted in the embodiments of FIG. 1 or FIG. 2) the light-reflective surface 102, in use, faces away from the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900 once: (A) the removable protection layer 108, in use, is selectively detached from, the adhesive layer 104, and (B) the adhesive layer 104, in use, is positionable to contact, at least in part, the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900, and (C) the adhesive layer 104, in use, adheres, at least in part, the planar surface 106 of the flexible film 100 to the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900 once the adhesive layer 104, in use, is positioned to contact, at least in part, the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900.

[0042] Preferably, the removable protection layer 108 is removeably (removably) positionable on, and is also selectively detachable (removable) from, the adhesive layer 104. This arrangement is done in such a way that removal of the removable protection layer 108, in use, exposes the adhesive layer 104 positioned on the planar surface 106 of the flexible film 100 for subsequent adherence of the planar surface 106 of the flexible film 100 to an aspect or portion of the toilet 902 (such as, the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900, as depicted in the embodiments of FIG. 1 or FIG. 2). The planar surface 106 of the flexible film 100, in use, is fitted, at least in part, to (the contour) of the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900 upon adherence of the adhesive layer 104 to the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900.

[0043] The light-reflective surface 102 extends along another planar side of the flexible film 100. The flexible film 100 is configured to face away from an aspect or portion of the toilet 902 (such as, the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900, as depicted in the embodiments of FIG. 1 or FIG. 2) once: (A) the removable protection layer 108, in use, is selectively detached from the adhesive layer 104, and (B) the flexible film 100, in use, is positioned in the flattened relationship with the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900, and (C) the adhesive layer 104, in use, is exposed for adhering the planar surface 106 of the flexible film 100 with the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900. Preferably, the light-reflective surface 102 is configured to face away from the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900 once the adhesive layer 104, in use, adheres, at least in part, the planar surface 106 of the flexible film 100 to the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900.

[0044] More preferably, the light-reflective surface 102 is configured to face away from the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900 once the adhesive layer 104, in use, adheres, at least in part, the planar surface 106 of the flexible film 100 to the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900 (as depicted in the embodiments of FIG. 1 or FIG. 2). This arrangement is done in such a way that the light-reflective surface 102, in use, reflects an image of a portion of the user 908 to the user 908 once: (A) the removable protection layer 108, in use, is selectively detached from the adhesive layer 104, and (B) the adhesive layer 104, in use, adheres, at least in part, the planar surface 106 of the flexible film 100 to the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900, and (C) the movable toilet lid 900, in use, is positioned in an upwardly-oriented orientation, and (D) the user 908 is positioned proximate to the light-reflective surface 102 of the planar surface 106 of the flexible film 100 which is adhered to the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900.

[0045] As a result, the light-reflective surface 102 may be utilized by the user 908 for self-inspection while the user 908 is positioned proximate to the light-reflective surface 102 of the flexible film 100 which is adhered to the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900.

[0046] FIG. 5 depicts a close-up perspective view of an embodiment of the flexible film 100 of FIG. 1.

[0047] In accordance with the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 5, the removable protection layer 108 is selectively removed from the adhesive layer 104 by the user 908, to thereby expose the adhesive layer 104. Once the flexible film 100, in use, is positioned in a flattened relationship with the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900, and upon application of a pressure to the flexible film 100, the adhesive layer 104, in use, contactably adheres, at least in part, the planar surface 106 with the inner lid surface 906 (as depicted in the embodiments of FIG. 1 or FIG. 2). The light-reflective surface 102, in use, faces away from the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900 once the adhesive layer 104, in use, adheres, at least in part, the planar surface 106 to the inner lid surface 906 (as depicted in the embodiments of FIG. 1 or FIG. 2).

[0048] FIG. 6 depicts a close-up front view of embodiments of the flexible film 100 and the toilet 902 of FIG. 1.

[0049] In accordance with the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 6, once the removable protection layer 108 has been selectively removed from the adhesive layer 104, the flexible film 100, in use, is positioned in a flattened relationship with the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900. Upon application of a pressure to the flexible film 100 (such as, the user 908 placing a forced smooth wiping action along direction 910). For instance, so that any unwanted air pockets may be removed, etc.), the adhesive layer 104, in use, contactably adheres, at least in part, the planar surface 106 with the inner lid surface 906.

[0050] In view of the foregoing, there is provided a method of applying the flexible film 100 to the inner lid surface 906 of a movable toilet lid 900. The flexible film 100 has the light-reflective surface 102 and the planar surface 106 configured to be positioned and affixed, at least in part, in a close proximate contact relationship with the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900.

[0051] The method includes selectively detaching the removable protection layer 108 from the adhesive layer 104. The removable protection layer 108 is removeably (removably) positioned on. The removable protection layer 108 is also selectively detachable from the adhesive layer 104 (the adhesive layer 104 is positioned on the planar surface 106 of the flexible film 100).

[0052] The method also includes adhering the planar surface 106 of the flexible film 100 to the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900 once the removable protection layer 108 is selectively detached from the adhesive layer 104. This is done in such a way that: (A) the planar surface 106 of the flexible film 100, in use, is fitted, at least in part, to (the contour of) the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900 upon adherence of the adhesive layer 104 to the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900, and (B) the light-reflective surface 102, in use, faces away from the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900. The light-reflective surface 102, in use, reflects an image of a portion of the user 908 to the user 908 once: (A) the movable toilet lid 900, in use, is positioned in an upwardly-oriented orientation, and (B) the user 908 is positioned proximate to the light-reflective surface 102 of the planar surface 106 of the flexible film 100 which is adhered to the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900. The light-reflective surface 102 may be utilized by the user 908 for self-inspection while the user 908 is positioned proximate to the light-reflective surface 102 of the flexible film 100 which is adhered to the inner lid surface 906 of the movable toilet lid 900.

[0053] The following is offered as further description of the embodiments, in which any one or more of any technical feature (described in the detailed description, the summary and the claims) may be combinable with any other one or more of any technical feature (described in the detailed description, the summary and the claims).

It is believed that all the crucial aspects of the disclosed subject matter have been provided in this document. It is understood, for this document, that the word includes is equivalent to the word comprising in that both words are used to signify an open-ended listing of assemblies, components, parts, etc. The term comprising, which is synonymous with the terms including, containing, or characterized by, is inclusive or open-ended and does not exclude additional, unrecited elements or method steps. Comprising (comprised of) is an open phrase and allows coverage of technologies that employ additional, unrecited elements. When used in a claim, the word comprising is the transitory verb (transitional term) that separates the preamble of the claim from the technical features of the invention. The foregoing has outlined the non-limiting embodiments (examples). The description is made for particular non-limiting embodiments (examples). It is understood that the non-limiting embodiments are merely illustrative as examples.
