Height adjustable infant potty seat

Abstract

The present invention relates to a height adjustable infant potty seat. Specifically, the present invention relates to an invertible height adjustable infant potty seat. In one embodiment, the present invention is a height adjustable infant potty seat comprising a potty seat portion shaped to receive a child thereon and receive human waste therein, an invertible shell having an outer face and protrusions thereon, the protrusions being located on the outer face at a position not equidistant from the top and bottom of the outer face, the protrusions adapted to receive and support the potty seat portion thereon at a first height, and the invertible shell being shaped such that it may be inverted to allow the potty seat to be supported by the protrusions at a second height. In one embodiment, protrusions form a flange.

1 . A height adjustable infant potty seat comprising:
 a potty seat portion shaped to receive a child thereon and receive human waste therein;   an invertible shell having protrusions thereon, the protrusions being located on the shell at a position not equidistant from the top and bottom of the shell, the protrusions adapted to receive and support the potty seat portion thereon at a first height; and   the invertible shell being shaped such that it may be inverted to allow the potty seat to be supported by the protrusions at a second height.   
   
   
       2 . The height adjustable infant potty seat of  claim 1  wherein the protrusions form a flange. 
   
   
       3 . The height adjustable infant potty seat of  claim 1  wherein the first height is one-half of the second height. 
   
   
       4 . The height adjustable infant potty seat of  claim 1  wherein said invertible shell includes an inner face and an outer face and said protrusions are located on said outer face. 
   
   
       5 . The height adjustable infant potty seat of  claim 1  further comprising at least one lip coupled to the protrusions to prevent the potty seat portion from disengaging from the invertible shell. 
   
   
       6 . The height adjustable infant potty seat of  claim 1  wherein the potty seat portion and the invertible shell are manufactured from a plastic material. 
   
   
       7 . A height adjustable infant potty seat comprising:
 a potty seat section adapted to support a child thereon and receive human waste therein; and   a base section having an interior face, an exterior face, and protrusions coupled to the interior face or the exterior face of the base section at a position not equidistant from the top and bottom of the interior face or exterior face, the protrusions adapted to support the potty seat section;   wherein the protrusions are coupled to the interior face or the exterior face of the base section such that the potty seat is supported at a first height;   whereby inverting the base section allows the potty seat section to be supported at a second height.   
   
   
       8 . The height adjustable infant potty seat of  claim 7  wherein the first height is one-half of the second height. 
   
   
       9 . The height adjustable infant potty seat of  claim 7  further comprising structural ribs coupled to the interior face or the exterior face, the structural ribs providing structural support to the base section. 
   
   
       10 . The height adjustable infant potty seat of  claim 7  further comprising at least one lip coupled to the protrusions to further support the potty seat section. 
   
   
       11 . The height adjustable infant potty seat of  claim 7  wherein the base section is adapted to fit between a toilet seat and the potty seat section. 
   
   
       12 . The height adjustable infant potty seat of  claim 7  wherein the base section is adapted to fit between a floor surface and the potty seat section. 
   
   
       13 . The height adjustable infant potty seat of  claim 7  wherein the base section and the potty seat section are manufactured from a plastic material. 
   
   
       14 . A height adjustable infant potty seat comprising:
 a seat section;   a cylindrical shell of fixed height adapted to support the seat section, the cylindrical shell having:
 an outer surface equal to the height of the cylindrical shell; and 
 a protrusion coupled to the outer surface at a position that is one-third of the height of the cylindrical shell; 
 wherein by inverting the cylindrical shell, the protrusion is coupled to the outer surface at a position that is two-thirds of the height of the cylindrical shell. 
   
   
   
       15 . The height adjustable infant potty seat of  claim 15  wherein the protrusion comprises a continuous protrusion around the outer surface of the cylindrical shell. 
   
   
       16 . The height adjustable infant potty seat of  claim 15  wherein the protrusion comprises a discontinuous protrusion around the outer surface of the cylindrical shell. 
   
   
       17 . The height adjustable infant potty seat of  claim 15  further comprising at least one lip coupled to the protrusion to further support the potty seat.
