  • Patent number: 12582273
    Abstract: A flip-up potty seat for a standard toilet includes a mount secured to the underside of the toilet lid by a removable attachment such as an adhesive pad, hook-and-loop fastener with adhesive, one or more suction cups, a magnet with adhesive, a fastener, or a clamp. A toilet-seat ring is joined to the mount by a living hinge and is positionable on the adult seat for potty-training use. Two stabilizer tabs on the ring engage the adult seat's inner opening to resist lateral movement. One or more hinged tabs on the mount are movable from flush to about-perpendicular and frictionally engage complementary recesses on the ring to retain the ring when flipped up. The assembly is thin enough to store between the lid and the seat with the lid closed, enabling rapid conversion between potty-training and adult use.
