  • 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.

  • Patent number: 6783826
    Abstract: The disclosure describes a commode liner made from a first and a second opposing member defining a top with an opening, a bottom, and a pair of opposing sides. The pair of opposing sides includes a separation distance D, which varies from the top to the bottom, and the distance D is larger at the top than at the bottom. The opposing members can be formed from a latently dispersible barrier composite material including an exposed low strength barrier component, an internal water sensitive layer, and a water permeable, inextensible, water dispersible support layer. When exposed to aqueous conditions on the barrier side, the composite prevents it from passing through to the other layers. When exposed to aqueous conditions on the opposite side, the commode liner readily disperses and may be disposed of by flushing in a toilet, for example. Examples of barrier layers include polylactic acid. Examples of water sensitive layers include polyvinyl alcohol.
