Problems solved by technology

One of the problems faced by parents of young children is the issue of toilet training.
Young boys, in particular, are not particularly careful when they urinate thus causing urine to be sprayed not just into the toilet but also onto the underside of the toilet seat and the surrounding area.
This area is also particularly difficult to clean once it has been soiled.
It will be appreciated that this is time consuming and difficult.
In addition, on many older installations it is not always a simple task to remove the seat from the toilet.
Many older seats have metal threaded members and a metal nut that can corrode over time due to contact with water causing the two to become difficult t

Abstract

A protective shield for a toilet bowl having a toilet seat connected thereto is disclosed. The toilet has an upper edge on which said toilet seat rests. The upper edge of the toilet has an inside surface and an outside surface. The shield is in the form of a sheet having a top edge, a bottom edge, and a pair of side edges, a front surface and a rear surface. The sheet has at least one retaining means in proximity to the rear surface of said sheet for maintaining said sheet in position on said toilet. The bottom edge of said shield extends into the toilet without touching any of the water in the bowl and the top edge extends upwardly so that the area where the toilet seat is connected to the toilet bowl is protected by the shield.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to improvements in toilet and toilet seat sanitation, more particularly, directing the spray of urine into the bowl and preventing the urine from entering the area between the seat and the bowl of the toilet. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] One of the problems faced by parents of young children is the issue of toilet training. Young boys, in particular, are not particularly careful when they urinate thus causing urine to be sprayed not just into the toilet but also onto the underside of the toilet seat and the surrounding area. One area that is commonly sprayed is the region between the toilet seat and the toilet where the toilet seat is connected to the toilet. This area is also particularly difficult to clean once it has been soiled. Urine can flow not only between the seat and the bowl but also between the bolts and the orifices in the bowl for connecting the seat to the toilet. Thus in order to clean this area thorou...
