Superneat toilet seat

Abstract

A toilet seat attachment assembly that when fully deployed onto a conventional toilet, to form a self-cleaning adjustable height urinal. The seat assembly is comprised of separate upper and lower seat sections. The upper seat section is adapted to be lifted upward and rotated forward a maximum 90 degrees relative to a rear of the seat assembly, adjacent a toilet tank of a conventional toilet. Once fully deployed, the seat assembly reveals a series of self-cleansing outer and inner flexible shields connected together in an accordion like manner, which are attached at ends thereof to both the upper and lower sections of the seat assembly. The upper seat section is comprised of an encapsulating shell that is designed to encase the outer shield of the collapsible funnel, so as to support the weight of a seated user when the seat assembly is lowered and used as a conventional toilet seat.
