The present invention is a toilet seat device fabricated from a polymeric material and a photoluminescence material. This combination provides for a structurally sound seat that is adapted to glow for an extended period of time in the absence of light.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim:  
     
         1 . A toilet seat comprising: 
 a seat section having a central opening therein; 
 said seat if fabricated from a polymeric material and photo luminescence material; and  
 said photo luminescence material illuminates said seat section in the absence of light.  
   
     
     
         2 . A toilet seat as in    claim 1    wherein said polymeric material is approximately 40 to 60% of the total amount and said photo luminescence material is approximately 30-50% of the total amount.  
     
     
         3 . A toilet seat as in    claim 1    wherein a lid is hingedly secured to said seat.  
     
     
         4 . A toilet seat as in    claim 3    wherein said lid is fabricated from a polymeric material and photo luminescence material and said photo luminescence material illuminates said seat section and said lid in the absence of light.  
     
     
         5 . A toilet seat as in    claim 3    wherein an attaching device is secured to said seat and said attaching device enables said seat section to be secured to a conventional toilet.  
     
     
         6 . A toilet seat as in    claim 1    wherein said seat section includes a lower surface and said lower surface includes a plurality of spacers.  
     
     
         7 . A toilet seat as in    claim 6    wherein said spacers are fabricated from a polymeric material and photo luminescence material and said photo luminescence material illuminates said seat section and said spacers in the absence of light.  
     
     
         8 . A toilet seat as in    claim 2    wherein said seat section further includes an activator.  
     
     
         9 . A toilet seat as in    claim 8    wherein said activator is euopium.  
     
     
         10 . A toilet seat as in    claim 9    wherein said europium is approximately 3 to ten percent of the total amount.  
     
     
         11 . A toilet seat comprising: 
 a seat section having a central opening therein and a lid hingedly secured thereto; 
 said lid if fabricated from a polymeric material and photo luminescence material; and  
 said photo luminescence material illuminates said lid in the absence of light.  
   
     
     
         12 . A toilet seat as in    claim 11    wherein said polymeric material is approximately 40 to 60% of the total amount and said photo luminescence material is approximately 30-50% of the total amount.  
     
     
         13 . A toilet seat as in    claim 11    wherein an attaching device is secured to said seat and said attaching device enables said seat section to be secured to a conventional toilet.  
     
     
         14 . A toilet seat as in    claim 11    wherein said seat section includes a lower surface and said lower surface includes a plurality of spacers.  
     
     
         15 . A toilet seat as in    claim 11    wherein said lid further includes an activator.  
     
     
         16 . A toilet seat as in    claim 15    wherein said activator is europium.  
     
     
         17 . A toilet seat as in    claim 16    wherein said europium is approximately 3 to ten percent of the total amount.  
     
     
         18 . A toilet seat as in    claim 5    wherein said attaching device is fabricated from a polymeric material and photo luminescence material and said photo luminescence material illuminates said attaching device in the absence of light.  
     
     
         19 . A toilet seat as in    claim 18    wherein said lid is fabricated from a polymeric material and photo luminescence material and said photo luminescence material illuminates said attaching device in the absence of light.
