Stabilized toilet seat/toilet bowl assembly
Abstract
An improved toilet seat assembly and toilet bowl which would provide stabilization to the toilet seat when in a lowered position so as to prevent wobble, shifting or sliding of the toilet seat assembly when in use, the toilet seat and toilet bowl being standard in all other aspects, but including a toilet seat assembly with an integrally molded depending geometric protrusion from its underside surface, cooperable with a similar integrally molded geometric recess formed in the peripheral rim of the toilet bowl when the seat is in the lowered position or alternatively, an upstanding integrally molded geometric protrusion extending upwardly from the peripheral rim of the toilet bowl, cooperable with an integrally molded geometric recess formed in the underside surface of the toilet seat assembly, in either embodiment, it being preferred that the cooperative geometric recess and geometric protrusion be positioned at the forward end of the toilet seat assembly and toilet bowl.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A toilet bowl and toilet seat assembly for stabilization of the toilet seat with respect to the toilet bowl, the assembly comprising:
