ABSTRACT:
Expendable video camera cover for medical use comprises a sleeve-shaped cover means shaped such as to cover a video camera and its electrical cable, and rigid ring-shaped case means for holding the cover means therein. The case has a generally U-shaped cross-section with its outer and lateral sides closed and leaving a central hole open, and the cover means is contained in said case in a tightly packed state resulting from the cover means having, first, one of its ends fixedly attached to said case, and second, the rest of the cover means being gradually crushed against the outer and lateral sides of the case means such as to leave a central hole in the cover means in its packed state, and leaving the second end of the cover means free. A process for manufacturing a video camera cover comprises the steps of attaching one side of a sleeve-shaped cover means to a rigid case; inserting the rigid case with one end of the cover means attached thereon to a pole mounted on a base, so that the cover means can be inserted into the case; and gradually crushing said cover means into that case.
