Sanitary over

Abstract

Sanitary Cover is a spring-loaded, pressure activated device that can be attached to a toilet seat and has flaps that move out of and into place when pressure is placed on the toilet seat and removed from the toilet seat, respectively. To use Sanitary Cover, a user could mount the device to a conventional toilet seat using the brackets. When a person sits on the toilet seat after proper installation, the weight of the user will cause the springs to flip the flaps open into the toilet bowl. When a user stands up, the pressure will be removed, permitting the springs to flip the flaps back to a closed position.
