Benefits of technology
"The present invention provides a splash guard for a toilet seat that is easy to clean or dispose of, and safe to use. This helps to prevent cleaning issues and ensures the toilet is always in safe condition."
Problems solved by technology
Old, handicapped and sick persons often are not able to relieve themselves while standing up and thus need to use a toilet with a seat for relieving themselves.
So toileting accidents readily occur in which urine is splashed on the toilet seat or beyond, which is unhygienic.
In particular, accidents like these happen to men using toilet seats.
The splash guard is fixed to the toilet seat and is hard to clean.
The splash guard is mounted at a fixed angle and is easily touched by a user when standing up, compromising safety of use.
Both splash guards are expensive to manufacture.

Embodiment Construction
[0013] As shown in FIG. 1, the splash guard of the present invention comprises a shielding vessel 10, a handle 20, and a flow guide 30. A user using a toilet with a toilet bowl, while sitting on a toilet seat, holds the handle 20. The shielding vessel 10 collects splashed urine. Collected splashed urine is then poured into the toilet bowl, guided by the flow guide 30. In the following, a detailed explanation is given.
[0014] The shielding vessel 10 is a body with a depression for guarding against splashing of urine and collecting splashed urine, having a bottom with a reinforcing rib 11. The bottom of the shielding vessel 10 is inclined at a predetermined angle, allowing liquid to flow towards the flow guide 30.
[0015] The handle 20 is attached to a far end of the shielding vessel 10, having a groove 21 for easier gripping and for reinforcing.
[0016] The flow guide 30 is placed on a near end of the shielding vessel 10, opposite to the far end thereof. A step 31 is built into the flo...

A splash guard used in conjunction with a toilet having a toilet bowl and a toilet seat comprises a shielding vessel, a handle on a far end and a flow guide on a near end opposite thereto. The flow guide has two lateral guiding walls. During use, a user sitting on the toilet seat holds the splash guard vertically at the handle thereof. The shielding vessel guards against splashed urine, which, guided by the flow guide, flows into the toilet bowl. Thus old, handicapped or sick persons or persons who have no firm stand or are being rehabilitated are enabled to use a toilet with protection against splashing of urine.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a splash guard for a toilet seat, particularly to a splash guard for a toilet seat, which is easy to hold and effectively prevents accidental splashing during relieving and is therefore suitable for old, handicapped and sick persons as well as persons who have difficulties to stand firmly and thus need to use a toilet with a seat for relieving themselves. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] Old, handicapped and sick persons often are not able to relieve themselves while standing up and thus need to use a toilet with a seat for relieving themselves. A regular toilet seat, however, is formed like a ring without any additional shield. So toileting accidents readily occur in which urine is splashed on the toilet seat or beyond, which is unhygienic. In particular, accidents like these happen to men using toilet seats. [0005] As shown in FIG. 5, a splash guard has been brought on t...
