Embodiment Construction

[0040]With reference to FIG. 1, a typical toilet bowl 1 has a pluming portion of a tank 2 in the back and a front seating portion 4 that comprises a hinged assembly of a plastic or wooden lid 6 and a seat 8 made in accordance with the present invention. Two hinge sections 10 may be of any known types that mount the lid 6 and seat 8 to pivot independently of each other on a rear portion of bowl 1.

[0041]In FIG. 2, seat 8 of the present invention is raised to show a firm base section 12 exposed at the bottom of seat 8. Base section 12 is shaped generally in an oval ring although it may be made into a C-shape or so called open front less cover type. An elliptical central opening 14 of seat 8 is arranged to overlie the bowl 1. Three or more support strips 16 may be formed integral to base section 12, which may be made of polypropylene (PP) by an injection molding and then it is joined by multiple top layers to give unique characteristics to the seat 1 of the present invention.

Abstract

A gel-infused seat for a toilet bowl is provided comprising an exposed base section for directly contacting a top rim of the bowl while supporting a user's weight, the base section having a top surface opposite to the bottom surfaces of the seat and at least two edges including an inner circumferential edge and an outer circumferential edge; a foam core layer covering the top surface of the base section and extending to parts of the bottom surfaces of the seat at its inner and outer circumferential edges; a gelatinous overlay for defining a top contour of the seat that yields easily to a pressure applied to give a comfortable softness to the user; and an outer layer for covering the gelatinous overlay and foam core layer leaving the base section exposed with substantially constant space from the base section.

Description of the Prior Art[0004]There has been a problem recognized in relation to the inconvenient hard feeling when sitting on the conventional toilet seats made simply of a molded plastic, a carved wood or even a composite of different thermoplastic materials.[0005]A soft layer to envelope a harder seat ring core in making more comforting seating surface for toilet users has been the subject of many patents including U.S. Pat. No. 7,111,331 to Cecchin that describes a skin polymer filled with a core material thru concentric co-injection; U.S. Pat. No. 6,640,349 to Toldo et al. describing encapsulation of a toilet seat ring with a plastic overlay covering...
