  • Although specific terms are used in the following description for the sake of clarity, these terms are intended to refer only to the particular structure of the embodiments selected for illustration in the drawings and are not intended to define or limit the scope of the disclosure. In the drawings and the following description below, it is to be understood that like numeric designations refer to components of like function.
  • The singular forms "a," "an," and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
  • As used in the specification and in the claims, the term "comprising" may include the embodiments "consisting of' and "consisting essentially of." The terms "comprise(s)," "include(s)," "having," "has," "can," "contain(s)," and variants thereof, as used herein, are intended to be open-ended transitional phrases, terms, or words that require the presence of the named ingredients/steps and permit the presence of other ingredients/steps. However, such description should be construed as also describing compositions or processes as "consisting of" and "consisting essentially of" the enumerated ingredients/steps, which allows the presence of only the named ingredients/steps, along with any unavoidable impurities that might result therefrom, and excludes other ingredients/steps.
  • Numerical values in the specification and claims of this application should be understood to include numerical values which are the same when reduced to the same number of significant figures and numerical values which differ from the stated value by less than the experimental error of conventional measurement technique of the type described in the present application to determine the value.
  • All ranges disclosed herein are inclusive of the recited endpoint and independently combinable (for example, the range of "from 2 grams to 10 grams" is inclusive of the endpoints, 2 grams and 10 grams, and all the intermediate values).
  • The terms "about" and "approximately" can be used to include any numerical value that can vary without changing the basic function of that value. When used with a range, "about" and "approximately" also disclose the range defined by the absolute values of the two endpoints, e.g., "about 2 to about 4" also discloses the range "from 2 to 4." Generally, the terms "about" and "approximately" may refer to plus or minus 10% of the indicated number.
  • In FIG. 1 and 2, a perspective view of the subject liner that is optionally disposable (e.g., plastic liner) is shown having general reference numeral 10. As mentioned above, the liner 10 is used to cover frames of an aerial lift basket, having general reference numeral 11, from paint and drywall over spray; however, it will be appreciated that the liner an be used to cover other types of baskets, cages, etc. The aerial lift basket 11 includes an open top for an operator to stand on the lift basket for operating spray equipment.
  • The lift basket 11 includes a platform floor 12, a first side frame 14, a second side frame 16, a front frame 20, and a hinged entrance door frame 20, with a hinged door 21 mounted on the frame 20. While the hinged door frame 20 and hinged door 21 are shown in the drawing, it should be kept in mind, depending on the manufacture of the lift basket 11 and a width of the platform floor, a chain or a hinged horizontal bar can be used equally well for entry into the aerial lift basket 11. Also, on smaller lift baskets 11, the basket can have an open door entrance, without a hinged door.
  • The frames on the lift basket are typically 3 to 4 feet in height. The lift basket 11 can be mounted on top of a wheel mounted boom or scissor lift 22. The scissor lift 22 is used to raise and lower the platform floor 12 during the painting and drywall applications.
  • During the installation of the liner 10, the liner is placed on top of the lift basket 11 and unfolded to cover the basket frames. A platform floor cover 24, shown in black, is first laid on top of the platform floor 12. As can be appreciated, any portion of the liner can be clear, transparent, partially transparent, opaque, or have any color.
  • Next, an entrance door outside cover 23 and an entrance inside cover 25, having an entrance door opening thereon, are used to cover opposite sides of the hinged door frame 20, next to the hinged door 21. The door opening is not shown in the drawings.
  • When the lift basket 11 has a hinged door 21 that spans an entire width of the entrance, covers 23 and 25 would just cover the door 21. The outside cover 23 and inside cover 25 are attached to each other and are separated by an optional seam 32 resting on top of the hinged door frame 20. A bottom portion of the outside cover 23 includes an optional seam for holding a portion of an optionally connection arrangement (e.g., bungee cord, rubber band, elastic band, snaps, hook and loop fastener, magnets, adhesive, hooks, rope, twine, etc.) 46. As can be appreciated, a seam is not required.
  • Referring now to FIG. 2, an optional first side frame outside cover 26 is now unfolded and raised, as indicated by arrow 28, to cover an outside of the first side frame 14. At the same time, a first side frame inside cover 30 is used to cover the inside of the first side frame 14. The optional outside cover 26 and the inside cover 30 can be optionally attached to each other and can optionally be separated by an optional seam 32 resting on top of the first side frame 14. As can be appreciated, a seam is not required.
  • As the liner 10 continues to be unfolded, an optional second side frame outside cover 34 is raised, as indicated by arrow 36, to cover an outside of the second side frame 16. At the same time, a second side frame inside cover 38 is used to cover the inside of the second side frame 14. The optional outside cover 34 and the inside cover 38 are optionally attached to each other and can be optionally separated by the optional seam 32 resting on top of the second side frame 16. As can be appreciated, a seam is not required.
  • Again, as the liner 10 continues to be unfolded, an optional front frame outside cover 40 is raised, as indicated by arrow 42, to cover an outside of the front frame 18. At the same time, a front frame inside cover 44 is used to cover the inside of the front frame 18. The optional outside cover 40 and the inside cover 44 can be optionally attached to each other and can be optionally separated by the optional seam 32 resting on top of the front frame 18. As can be appreciated, a seam is not required.
  • The bottoms of the first side frame inside cover 30, the second side frame inside cover 38, the front frame inside cover 44, and the entrance door inside cover 25 are attached to the sides of the floor cover 24. The bottoms of the first side frame outside cover 26, the second side frame outside cover 34, the front frame outside cover 40, and the entrance outside cover 23, when used, optionally includes an optional seam that optionally holds the connection arrangement 46. The optional connection arrangement 46 extends partially or fully around the bottom of the plastic liner 10, as shown in the drawings, for holding the liner 10 in place on and around the lift basket 11.
  • In FIG. 2, a perspective view a portion of the liner 10 is shown cutaway to illustrate the liner covering an inside and optionally outside of the first side frame 14, the second side frame 14, the front frame 18, and opposite sides of the hinged door frame 20.
  • Also shown in FIG. 2 is a hinged door cover 48 positioned, as indicated by arrow 50, for covering a hinged door 21 or other type of door or bar arrangement. The door cover 48 includes an optional outside cover 52 and an inside cover 54 for covering the inside and optionally outside of the hinged door 21. A bottom portion of the outside cover 52 and the inside cover 54 optionally includes strips of hook and loop fasteners 56 or some other arrangement for securing the door cover 48 on the hinged door 21; however, other arrangements can be used (zipper; releasable adhesive, snaps, magnets, etc.).
  • In FIG. 3A, a perspective view of a pair of human hands 58 are shown attaching an open end of the optional first outside cover 26 to an open end of the first inside cover 30, using the optional strips of the hook and loop fasteners 56. The optional hook and loop fasteners are used to hold the covers 26 and 30 on the first side frame 14. The optional hook and loop fasteners are also used to hold the second outside cover 34 and the second inside cover 38 on the second side frame 16. Also, optional hook and loop fasteners can be used to hold the entrance door outside cover 23 and the entrance door inside cover 25 on the sides of the hinged door frame 20, next to the hinged door 21. As discussed above, the optionally hook and loop fasteners can be substituted for zipper; releasable adhesive, snaps, magnets, etc.
  • In FIG. 3B, a perspective view of the liner 10 is shown with the optional connection arrangement 46 holding a bottom of the liner around a bottom of the lift basket 11. As mentioned above, the optional connection arrangement 46 is used to hold the liner 10 in place on the lift basket 11. In this drawing, the second side frame 16 and the front frame 18 are shown in dashed lines and covered by the disposable plastic liner 10.
