Gel infused toilet seat

Abstract

A gel-infused seat for a toilet bowl is provided comprising an exposed base section for directly contacting a top rim of the bowl while supporting a user's weight, the base section having a top surface opposite to the bottom surfaces of the seat and at least two edges including an inner circumferential edge and an outer circumferential edge; a foam core layer covering the top surface of the base section and extending to parts of the bottom surfaces of the seat at its inner and outer circumferential edges; a gelatinous overlay for defining a top contour of the seat that yields easily to a pressure applied to give a comfortable softness to the user; and an outer layer for covering the gelatinous overlay and foam core layer leaving the base section exposed with substantially constant space from the base section.

1 . A gel-infused seat for mounting on a toilet bowl comprising:
 a sturdy base section extending along a top rim of the bowl for supporting a user's weight while defining bottom surfaces of the seat, the base section having a top surface opposite to the bottom surfaces of the seat and at least two edges including an inner circumferential edge and an outer circumferential edge;   a foam core layer covering the top surface of the base section and extending to parts of the bottom surfaces of the seat at its inner and outer circumferential edges;   a gelatinous overlay for defining a top contour of the seat that yields easily to a pressure applied to give a comfortable softness to the user; and   an outer layer for covering the gelatinous overlay and foam core layer leaving the base section exposed with substantially constant space from the base section.   
   
   
       2 . The gel-infused seat of  claim 1 , wherein the core layer is made of polyurethane into a molding foam. 
   
   
       3 . The gel-infused seat of  claim 1 , wherein the base section is made of polypropylene. 
   
   
       4 . The gel-infused seat of  claim 1 , wherein the gelatinous overlay is made of polyurethane elastomers. 
   
   
       5 . The gel-infused seat of  claim 1 , wherein, the outer layer is made of a flexible elastomeric sheet with an appropriate friction against the user's flesh. 
   
   
       6 . A gel-infused seat for mounting on a toilet bowl comprising:
 a base extending along a top rim of the bowl for supporting a user's weight, wherein the base has a bottom surface, wherein the base section has a top surface opposite to the bottom surface of the seat and at least two edges including an inner circumferential edge and an outer circumferential edge;   a foam layer covering the top surface of the base section and extending to parts of the bottom surfaces of the seat at a foam inner circumferential edge and foam core outer circumferential edge, wherein the foam layer is an intermediate density polymer;   a gel layer defining a top contour of the seat that yields easily to a pressure applied to give a comfortable softness to the user, wherein the gel layer is bonded to the top surface of the foam layer; and   an outer layer for covering the gelatinous overlay and foam core layer leaving the base section exposed with substantially constant space from the base section.   
   
   
       7 . The gel-infused seat of  claim 6 , wherein the foam layer is made of foam polyurethane. 
   
   
       8 . The gel-infused seat of  claim 6 , wherein the base section is made of polypropylene. 
   
   
       9 . The gel-infused seat of  claim 6 , wherein the gel layer is made of polyurethane elastomers. 
   
   
       10 . The gel-infused seat of  claim 6 , wherein, the outer layer is made of a flexible elastomeric sheet with an appropriate friction against the user's flesh. 
   
   
       11 . A gel-infused seat for mounting on a toilet bowl comprising:
 a base extending along a top rim of the bowl for supporting a user's weight, wherein the base has a bottom surface, wherein the base section has a top surface opposite to the bottom surface of the seat and at least two edges including an inner circumferential edge and an outer circumferential edge;   a foam layer covering the top surface of the base section and extending to parts of the bottom surfaces of the seat at a foam inner circumferential edge and foam core outer circumferential edge, wherein the foam layer is an intermediate density polymer;   a gel layer defining a top contour of the seat that yields easily to a pressure applied to give a comfortable softness to the user, wherein the gel layer is bonded to the top surface of the foam layer; and   an outer layer for covering the gelatinous overlay, wherein the outer layer receives an embossed texture pattern.   
   
   
       12 . The gel-infused seat of  claim 11 , wherein the foam layer is made of foam polyurethane. 
   
   
       13 . The gel-infused seat of  claim 11 , wherein the base section is made of polypropylene. 
   
   
       14 . The gel-infused seat of  claim 11 , wherein the gel layer is made of polyurethane elastomers. 
   
   
       15 . The gel-infused seat of  claim 11 , wherein the foam layer is made of foam polyurethane, wherein the gel layer is made of polyurethane elastomers, wherein the base section is made of polypropylene.
