Benefits of technology

The present invention is a new toilet seat that swivels in both directions, allowing it to provide more comfort and facilitate movement for users who need a little extra help in the bathroom. It improves on existing toilet seats by allowing the user to comfortably and easily move around while using the toilet.

Problems solved by technology

While an accessible toilet is something that is found in every home and business, this most utilitarian of items can still possess limitations.
One such drawback that can be found in modern toilet designs is the seat.
Securely mounted to the bowl to serve as a buffer between the user and the water in the bowl, the seat can prove quite uncomfortable and unyielding at times. For instance, users who may have limited physical abilities due to illness or age often have trouble easily positioning themselves on the immovable seat when needing to sit, get up, or attend to the person while on the toilet.
For healthy individuals as well as the disabled, the stationary seat can pose a problem should one need to access an item that is slightly out of reach, such as a ringing cellphone or a new roll of toilet tissue.
