Description

  The present invention relates to an infant toilet seat cover that is used by being attached on a toilet seat of a Western-style toilet so as to be easily placed on an infant.

Usually, a Western-style toilet has a toilet seat of an adult size. For this reason, in order to enable even an infant to be safely and stably mounted on a toilet seat, for example, a toilet seat for infants of Prior Art 1 (see Patent Document 1) has been proposed.
The infant toilet seat is formed so that it can be folded by connecting the ends of two semi-circular toilet seat plates with a connecting member such as a cloth hinge. For this reason, for example, when the user (infant) of the infant toilet seat is out, the guardian can fold the infant toilet seat and then carry it in a bag while being stored in a plastic bag or the like.
That is, in a Western-style toilet such as a public toilet, the infant can use the Western-style toilet without feeling of resistance by attaching the toilet seat for the infant.

  However, when the infant toilet seat is used in a bathroom at home, it is difficult to handle when not in use. For example, the infant toilet seat is also difficult to lean against a wall in the toilet in a folded state.

Specifically, the infant toilet seat is folded by the force acting in the direction in which the two semi-circular toilet seat plates facing each other are separated even when the connecting member side is grounded and leaned against the floor surface. It opens carelessly from the state.
On the other hand, even if the semi-annular toilet seat plate portion is grounded and leaned against the floor, the semi-circular toilet seat plate portion is unstable due to the curved shape and tilts.

  In addition, placing the infant toilet seat directly on the toilet floor is not necessary on the next time it is attached to the toilet seat and used on either the front or back surface of the infant toilet seat. With a sense of resistance.

  Furthermore, since a domestic toilet has a limited space, it is inconvenient if it is placed on the floor and stored. However, taking out the infant toilet seat out of the toilet and storing it is still unsanitary and is not possible.
