  • Patent number: 8677518
    Abstract: The reusable, portable toilet seat has a planform congruent with a conventional toilet seat and includes a base of corrugated sheet material with a sheet of air-filled plastic wrap thereover and a layer of non-woven batting overlying the air-filled material. The core materials are covered on their upper and lower surfaces with thin plies of flexible, liquid impervious plastic. The cover sheets are heat sealed to one another along their inner and outer edges to prevent contamination and deterioration of the internal structure. At least one ply of cover material extends outwardly beyond the outer periphery of the core materials to drape over the toilet seat and rim of the bowl when the portable seat is secured to an existing toilet seat by suction cups extending from the base material. The portable toilet seat is washable for convenience, and may be folded for compact storage within a provided storage bag.
