"The present invention provides a new flushable bowl protecting liner construction that can reduce the need for manual cleaning by providing a barrier between the bowl and solid waste. The invention includes a material shield designed to be placed into the toilet bowl that would enclose solid waste to prevent contact between the solid waste and the bowl. The invention can be applied in different ways and there may be other embodiments not described in this patent. The technical effects of the invention are improved hygiene, convenience, and a reduction in the need for manual cleaning."
Problems solved by technology
The patent does not teach the use of bowl liners to enclose solid waste.
The patent does not teach the use of bowl liners to enclose solid waste.
The patent does not teach the use of a liner designed for use in conjunction with a standard flush toilet nor with a toilet with limited water in the bowl during use.
The patent does not teach a disposable or flushable liner that would be replaced with every use.
The patent does not teach the use of bowl liners to enclose solid waste.
The patent does not teach the particular physical configuration that allows for use with a toilet that has limited water in the bowl during use such as those fitted in RV=s, boats and aircraft.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not disclose a new flushable bowl protecting liner made of conventional paper products for use with toilets in which there is limited water in the bowl prior to use.
Although one of the patents does attempt to recognize the particular problem of keeping the solid waste from attaching itself to the bowl surface, it does not address the problem when the bowl is not partially filled with water.

Embodiment Construction
[0023]With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 3 thereof, a new flushable bowl protecting liner embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the reference numeral 5 will be described.
[0024]As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 3, the flushable bowl protecting liner 5, FIG. 1, FIG. 2, view 1, FIG. 3, view 1 generally comprises a liner as shown constructed from tissue paper similar to that used for toilet paper as supplied in rolls for cleaning the body after using the toilet. The general shape and construction may be similar to a disposable coffee filter and is of such a construction well known to those familiar in the art. A flat sheet of paper may be folded and bonded along a seam 6, FIG. 2, view 1. Alternately two sheets may be bonded to form the same shape but having two seams. The shape of the sheet is such that, when it is opened out, it conforms to the interior shape of the toilet bowl, 7, FIG. 2, v...

A flushable bowl protecting liner which reduces the need for manual cleaning by providing a barrier between the bowl of the toilet and solid waste. The flushable bowl protecting liner would be used in those toilets that use a limited water supply and do not have a large water reservoir held in the bowl during each use. The application is directed to toilets in recreational motor vehicles, aircraft and boats.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to disposable toilet bowl liner and more particularly pertains to a new flushable bowl protecting liner for reducing the need for manual cleaning by providing a barrier between the bowl of the toilet and solid waste, in particular applications wherein the bowl is not filled with water between uses as with a standard flush toilet, but specifically for those toilets in which there is little or no water in the bowl between uses as with a recreational vehicle toilet.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]The use of disposable toilet bowl liner is known in the prior art. More specifically, disposable toilet bowl liners heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements...
