TOILET SEAT COVER Filed Jan. 25, 1957 10 hole Patented Mar. 15, 1938 a @FFIQE 1 Claim.

This invention aims to provide a toilet seat cover which may be manufactured at trifling expense, the construction being such that a new cover can be applied to the seat each time the seat is used. Another object of the invention is to provide novel means for preventing the garments of the user from coming into contact with the hinges that carry the seat. Another object of the invention is to provide novel means whereby when the protector that keeps the garments of the user from coming into contact with the hinge is turned up, one of the wings of the cover will be held in place underneath the seat.

It is Within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and to enhance the utility of devices of that type to which the present invention appertains.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and ararrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes may be made in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawing:

Figure 1 shows in top plan, a device constructed in accordance with the invention, mounted on a toilet seat;

Figure 2 is a cross section on the line 2-2 of Figure 1;

Figure 3 is a longitudinal section on the line 33 of Figure 1;

Figure 4 is a perspective view showing the turned up rear edge mentioned, and parts connected therewith.

The numeral l marks a toilet seat having a 2. The lid 3 for the toilet seat is carried by a hinge 4, which serves, also, as a mounting for the seat I.

The toilet seat cover forming the subject matter of this application is made out of parafiined paper, or any other suitable flexible material, and comprises an annular body 5 having an inner underlying wing 6 and an outer underlying wing 5 l. The body 5 rests on the seat l, and the wings 5 and extend underneath the seat, in a Way which will be obvious when Figure 2 of the drawing is examined.

At its rear end, the body 5 of the cover has an upstanding extension 8, there being flanges 9 overlapped on the rear surface of the extension, the flanges being connected to the lateral end edges of the extension and to the rear end edges of the wing 'a'.

The construction is such that when the extension 8 is turned up into the position delineated in Figure 4 of the drawing, the flanges 9 will aid in holding the wing in underlying relation with respect to the seat I, so as to keep the cover in place and prevent it from moving about.

The hinge 4 rarely is kept clean, and if kept clean, it is a place where the garments of the user are likely to be engaged and torn. The wing 8, however, will prevent the garments of the user from being engaged with the hinge 4 or coming into contact with the hinge.

The article may, of course, be folded up in any desired way, and then be enclosed in an envelope (not shown) for sale.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:

A toilet seat cover provided at its rear end with an upstanding extension, the cover having an underlying wing, there being flanges overlapped on the rear surface of the extension, the flanges being connected to the lateral end edges of the extension, and to the rear end edges of the wing, whereby when the extension is turned up, the flanges will tend to hold the wing in underlying position.
