P07715' FAP/@NCES D- LA E067/ E ATTORNET Patentecl pr. y 10, 1951 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 'l 2,548,238 Y I UXILIARY ToILErsE'r- Y Esther B. Potts and Frances D. La Roche, Waco,l Tex.; said Frances D. La Roche now .by change of name Frances D. Alleny Application December 7, i945, 'serial No. u633313 vThisinvention relates to toilet seats land more dren are now in use but theyv have been found unsatisfactory because theyY are cumbersome.l y and heavy and cannot be conveniently carriediyfrom one place-to:` another whenl traveling and 'also are in the'way when not in use due; to thefact that they cannot be compactly folded for storage.
Therefore, an important object of the present invention is to provide a toilet seat of the character specied which is so formed that it is firmly held in set-up position and at the same time may be atly and compactly folded after being used and put away in a small space until again needed.
Another object of the invention is to provide a portable auxiliary toilet seat formed of corrugated cardboard or the like which is of light weight and may be conveniently packed in a traveling bag without adding appreciably to the weight thereof.
A further object is to provide an auxiliary toilet seat which is formed from a single blank of sheet material so scored or creased that it may be easily and quickly set up for use with portions of the blank forming the sides and the back of the seat interengaged to hold them upright.
A still further object of the invention is to provide an auxiliary seat which is held in place upon the usual toilet seat by a flexible attaching element associated with the back of the auxiliary seat and having end portions extending from opposite sides thereof so that they may be tied about a portion of the usual seat, the flexible attaching element being removedfrom the back when the auxiliary seat is to be folded and used to secure the auxiliary seat in a folded condition.
An additional object is to provide an auxiliary toilet seat having a flap across its front end which is adapted to extend downwardly over the front portion of the usual toilet seat and bowl to serve as a shield.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved auxiliary toilet seat in set-up position.
Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view through the toilet seat and showing the same in place upon the usual toilet seat and associated bowl which are indicated by dotted lines.
Figure 3 is a horizontal sectional view through 1 claim. (ci. 1i-239') f the auxiliary4 toilet seat taken along the line 3.,-3.of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a transverse sectional View taken along the line 4 4 of Figure 2.
Figure 5 is a top plan view showing the auxiliary seat as it appears folded when not in use.
Figure Gris a sectional view taken along the line -B of Figure 5. Y x
Figure 7 is a view looking at the bottom of the folded auxiliary seat'. y 1
Figures is a sectional view taken along the line 8 8 of Figure 5.
Figure 9 is a view of the blank from which the auxiliary toilet seat is formed.
The improved auxiliary toilet seat is formed from a single blank of corrugated cardboard or other suitable sheet material as shown in Figure 9 of the drawings. By reference to Figure 9 it will be seen that the blank has a body or seat portion I formed with an opening 2 of smaller size than the opening in the permanent or standard toilet seat upon which the auxiliary seat is to be positioned for use. The portion I is of such dimensions that it will rest flatly upon the seat 3 of the toilet bowl 4 with its opening 2 disposed over the opening of the seat 3.
The forward portion 5 of the blank is scored or creased transversely along the dotted line 5 so that it may be easily moved to an operative position at substantially right angles to the body portion I as shown in Figures l, 2 and 4, or to an inoperative position ilatly against the under side of the body portion I as shown in Figures 5, 6 and 7. When the forward portion or flap occupies the operative position illustrated in Figures 1, 2 and 4, it serves as a shield to prevent contact of the person and clothing of the user with the front of the seat 3 and the bowl 4.
The blank is longitudinally scored or creased along the opposite side edges of the body portion I as indicated at 8, 8 to provide side portions 1 movable to upright positions to form side walls or guards for the auxiliary seat. The rear end portions 9 of the side wallsr'l are severed from the rear portion I0 of the blank and scored transversely along the dotted lines II, II to provide flaps, which are adapted to be swung inwardly toward each other from opposite sides of the seat when the side walls are moved to the upright position of Figures l, 2 and 4. The rear portion Ill is then folded upwardly along the line of scoring I2 and its free end portion I3 folded forwardly and downwardly along the line of scoring I4 into confining relation to the flaps 9 whereby the side walls are held in an upright operative posi- Y portion of the main seat 3 or any other conven-V ient part of the standard toilet.
A finger receiving notch I6 is cut in the free 01 lower edge of the portion I3 to facilitate its upward swinging and dislodgment from a position in front of the flaps 9.
As will be apparent, the improved auxiliary seat may be quickly folded and reduced to a flat compact mass and placed in a traveling bag or in a bath room cabinet where it will occupy a small space and be out of way. rIhe tape I is tied about the folded seat to hold it in that condition.
Since the seat is formed of cardboard it is inexpensive and hence may be discarded in the event -it becomes soiled.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:
An auxiliary toilet seat formed from a single blank of foldable sheet material and having a seat portion provided with an opening, side walls extending upwardly along opposite side edges of the seat portion and provided with inwardly projecting flaps extending toward each other at the rear end of the seat portion, and a rear portion extending upwardly from the seat portion and folded forwardly and downwardly over the naps in straddling relation thereto to hold the side Walls upright, the forwardly and downwardly folded part of said rear portion fitting snugly between and frictionally engaging the inner faces of the side walls to maintain the rear portion in operative relation to the naps, the free edge of said rear portion being provided with a finger receiving notch.
