Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a toilet seat for children, especially toddlers, intended for use on the go. The toilet seat is designed as a disposable product and can be discarded after use. State of the art
[0002] Popular children's toilet seats are usually made of reusable plastics and require either permanent installation or separate support elements. For mobile use, these solutions are often bulky, hygienically challenging, or environmentally unfriendly. Disposable products are either not sufficiently robust or unsuitable for direct skin contact. Object of the invention
[0003] The object of the invention is to provide a toilet seat for children that is hygienic, space-saving, easily transportable, compostable and suitable for single use, and which can either be used independently or optionally supported by a carrier element. Solution to the task
[0004] The problem is solved by a compostable, foldable portable toilet seat for children, made from a biodegradable material and designed for single-use disposal. The toilet seat is shaped to support the weight of a child. Alternatively or additionally, the toilet seat can be used as a disposable insert in or on a separate support element. Preferred embodiments
[0005] The toilet seat can be made of plant-based fibers, bio-based plastics, or composite materials, in particular sugarcane fiber, starch, polylactic acid (PLA), or combinations thereof. The toilet seat may feature a structurally reinforced geometry, in particular folded edges, ribs, or curved areas to increase stability.
