Benefits of technology
"The present invention is a disposable toilet seat cover designed for use on public toilet seats of divided construction. The cover has a flat area that spans the width and circumference of the toilet seat, providing support to prevent children from falling through the larger opening in the toilet seat. The cover also has pull tabs and a removal tab for easy installation and disposal. The cover is thin enough to be folded flat and package to fit in a purse, pocket or diaper bag. The technical effects of the invention are to provide a sanitary barrier that prevents human contact from toilet surfaces and to provide a comfortable and safe seating area for children."
Problems solved by technology
The aforementioned toilet seat covers are awkward and cumbersome to use.
Further, these presently existing toilet seat covers provide very little sanitary protection from the undersides of toilet seat surfaces.
More importantly, none of the aforementioned toilet seat covers provide small children any means for support while sitting on the toilet or means for prevention from falling through the center of the toilet seat.

Abstract
A disposable toilet seat cover designed to provide sanitary protection and support for smaller children when using public toilet seats of divided construction. The cover includes two sheets of thin flexible moisture resistant material laminated together to form an internal envelope inside the seat cover and that allows the cover to be easily slipped over a toilet seat thereby encapsulating the seat while providing a sanitary barrier that prevents human contact with unsanitary toilet surfaces. The cover further forms a seating area that when installed over a toilet seat maintains sufficient tension between the two curved side parts of the toilet seat to provide the support needed to prevent smaller children from falling through the larger opening in public toilet seats. A removal tab is provided in the front of the disposable toilet seat cover allowing for easy removal and discarding into the trash.
