  • Patent number: 9551139
    Abstract: A urine splash guard for a toilet bowl has a first splash guard member having an intermediate section interconnecting dual, forwardly extending arm sections, the sections being connected by fold joints, and a second splash guard member which is permanently connected to the arm sections. The second splash guard member is connected to the intermediate section by a fold joint and is fixedly attached to the underside of the toilet bowl seat. When the toilet bowl seat overlays the toilet bowl rim, the splash guard is compacted into a flat orientation on the toilet bowl rim. When the toilet bowl seat is raised and lifted, the various sections of the splash guard are rotated upward, to a vertical orientation, thereby covering the vulnerable areas of the toilet bowl rim and toilet bowl seat during urination.
