Foam toilet seat cover

Abstract

The foam toilet seat cover is a reusable cover used to shield a person from contamination present on a toilet seat. The seat cover is made of a foamed material. The upper and lower surfaces of the seat cover are sealed to prevent the absorption of contamination into the foamed material. In use, the lower surface of the cover is deposed on the surface of a toilet seat. An annular opening in the seat cover allows access to the bowl of the toilet through the seat cover. The lower surface has an anti-slip pattern to keep the seat cover in position on the toilet seat. The upper surface has an identifying marking so enabling the user to consistently discriminate between the upper and lower surfaces of the cover. The toilet seat cover is made of a cleanable material resistant to cleaning agents used to sanitize the cover.
