Benefits of technology

The patent is about a new toilet seat system that aims to overcome the problems with existing toilet seats. The goal is to create a more efficient and effective toilet seat system.

Problems solved by technology

Lavatories, restrooms and bathrooms alike have the tendency to become dirty in very little time.
The use of toilets results in the accumulation of splashed liquid and human body waste on a toilet.
Use of a toilet often results in liquid and all accompanying dissolved matter splashing onto the rim of the basin and the underside of the seat.
Following multiple uses, the matter accumulates on the toilet and poses a health risk due to disease caused by bacteria and various other microorganisms.
A particularly troublesome area of the toilet is the area between the seat and the rim.
Each surface may quickly accumulate unhygienic matter from the splashed liquid.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]As discussed above, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a toilet seat system and more particularly to a toilet seat system and method as used to improve the hygienic use of toilets.

[0021]The present invention provides users with a toilet seat capable of creating a barrier between the seat and bowl to prevent fluid leaks. This keeps a toilet seat, bowl, and areas surrounding the toilet sanitary at virtually all times by ensuring all liquids are kept confined to the toilet bowl. It utilizes a molded fin on the front of the seat which allows the seal to form between the seat and bowl. This effectively eliminates the need to constantly clean the bathroom each time the toilet is used. The present invention offers an optional after market kit featuring a piece of molded plastic capable of being applied to an existing toilet seat.

[0022]Referring now more specifically to the drawings by numerals of reference, there is shown in FIGS. 1-4, various views of a toilet seat syst...

Abstract

A toilet seat with a fluid barrier; the toilet seat includes a substantially oval shaped body correspondingly dimensioned to an annular rim of a toilet bowl. A fluid barrier may be integrally formed to the substantially oval shaped body extending perpendicular from the bottom surface of the front portion. Further discussed is a fluid barrier for attachment to an annular toilet seat. The fluid barrier may have an elongated barrier wall having an upper edge and an attenuated lower edge. The fluid barrier may have a fastener disposed on the upper edge. The fastener may be configured to attach the elongated barrier wall to the lower surface of the annular toilet seat.
