  • Publication number: 20140317837
    Abstract: A disposable toilet hygienic seat cover is suitable for being laid on a toilet seat (11) having a toilet seat cover (12), and mainly consists of a seat cover ring sheet (20), a covering sheet (30), a covering concave portion (40), and a positioning unit (50). The disposable toilet hygienic seat cover has a covering concave portion (40) that covers a front portion (121) of the toilet seat cover and a front portion (111) of the toilet seat. Therefore, the covering sheet (30) for defining the covering concave portion (40) can also cover and be positioned at the front portion (121) of the toilet seat cover and the front portion (111) of the toilet seat. Hence, the covering sheet (30) does not move randomly, thus preventing the skin, trousers, or skirt of a toilet user from contacting the front portion (121) of the toilet seat cover or the external surface of the front portion (111) of the toilet seat, thereby ensuring hygienic toilet using and solving the problem of bacterial infection.

  • Patent number: 6385783
    Abstract: Non-slip ergonomic pads are disposed on opposite sides of the upper surface of a toilet seat for supporting the gluteus maximus of a user while helping to align the pelvis and spine when the user is seated on the toilet seat. The pads are formed of a durable non-slip material which deforms slightly when sat upon and has a memory to return to its original form when the pressure of the user seated on the toilet seat is removed. The pads may include a single layer or multiple layers of open celled sponge rubber or other material. When the pads have multiple layers, the layers may exhibit a continuous gradient of values of indentation force deflection. The material should be of substantially uniform thickness so as to provide uniform pressure distribution and firm support. The pads have non-slip characteristics without being sticky to the touch. The pads may have a cloth surface layer to provide a printable surface to contain printing, advertising or a design.
