Abstract

A support device for stabilizing toilet seats. The device is provided to add additional vertical and lateral support to toilet seats and related devices. It is a combination of existing and new materials configured with unique features that provide an effective, practical and economical way to add stability to new and existing toilet seats. The preferred embodiment of the stability device is comprised of a laterally extended, essentially flat structure; an extended structure essentially configured as a vertical downward protrusion; and a means to secure the device to the toilet seat wherein the device provides additional vertical support between an uppermost surface of the rim and the lower surface of the toilet seat and providing lateral support between an inner surface of the rim and the protruded extension of the device which is firmly secured to the toilet seat.

1 . A support device  31  made of durable materials and used for stabilizing a toilet seat  32  to a rim  34  of a toilet bowl  35  comprised of
 (a) a laterally extended, essentially flat structure  46  with features;   (b) an extended structure  45  essentially configured as a vertical downward protrusion; and   (c) a means to secure  36  the device  31  to the toilet seat  32     
     wherein the special device  31  may be used to stabilize the toilet seat  32  by providing additional vertical support between an uppermost surface of the rim  34 A and the lower surface  32 B of the toilet seat  32  and providing lateral support between an inner surface of the rim  34 B and the protruded extension  45  of the device  31  which is firmly secured to the toilet seat  32 . 
     The device is considered separate and fastened securely to the seat. However, the device could also be integrally molded or shaped with plastic and wood toilet seats as one skilled in molding well appreciates. Other fastening means are shown below.
