Convertible Toilet Seat

Abstract

An improved convertible toilet seat includes ferromagnetic components to adhere detachably a rotatably attached child seat section to a posterior section, creating a more secure and comfortable seating surface for a child, and to enhance the adhesion of a child seat section to an anterior section when a toilet seat s raised to a vertical position. The introduction of a finger notch in the anterior section serves to make it easier for a child to lift a child seat section into position for use by a child where a partial vacuum may otherwise be created when an anterior section receives a child seat section.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A toilet seat comprising:
 a posterior section;   an anterior section;   a child seat section;   rotatable attachment means by which said child seat section may be joined to said posterior section;   one or more medial ferromagnetic components; and   one or more a posterior ferromagnetic components.   
     
     
         2 . The toilet seat of  claim 1 , in which the one or more medial ferromagnetic components and the one or more posterior ferromagnetic components are magnets. 
     
     
         3 . The toilet seat of  claim 1 , in which the one or more medial ferromagnetic components are magnets, and the one or more posterior ferromagnetic components are comprised of one or more ferromagnetic materials that are not magnetized. 
     
     
         4 . The toilet seat of  claim 1 , in which the one or more medial ferromagnetic components comprised of one or more ferromagnetic materials that are not magnetized, and the one or more posterior ferromagnetic components are magnets. 
     
     
         5 . The toilet seat of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 one or more anterior ferromagnetic components.   
     
     
         6 . The toilet seat of  claim 2 , further comprising one or more anterior ferromagnetic components that are magnets. 
     
     
         7 . The toilet seat of  claim 2 , further comprising one or more anterior ferromagnetic components that are comprised of one or more ferromagnetic materials that are not magnetized. 
     
     
         8 . The toilet seat of  claim 3 , further comprising one or more anterior ferromagnetic components that are magnets. 
     
     
         9 . The toilet seat of  claim 3 , further comprising one or more anterior ferromagnetic components that are comprised of one or more ferromagnetic materials that are not magnetized. 
     
     
         10 . The toilet seat of  claim 4 , further comprising one or more anterior ferromagnetic components that are magnets. 
     
     
         11 . The toilet seat of  claim 1 , in which the anterior section includes a finger notch. 
     
     
         12 . A toilet seat comprising:
 a posterior section;   an anterior section;   a child seat section;   rotatable attachment means by which said child seat section may be joined to said posterior section;   one or more medial ferromagnetic components;   one or more posterior ferromagnetic components; and   one or more anterior ferromagnetic components.   
     
     
         13 . The toilet seat of  claim 12 , in which the one or more posterior ferromagnetic components and the one or more anterior ferromagnetic components are magnets, and the one or more medial ferromagnetic components are comprised of one or more ferromagnetic materials that are not magnetized. 
     
     
         14 . The toilet seat of  claim 13 , in which the one or more medial ferromagnetic components are comprised of steel. 
     
     
         15 . The toilet seat of  claim 12 , in which the one or more posterior ferromagnetic components and the one or more anterior ferromagnetic components are comprised of one or more ferromagnetic materials that are not magnetized, and the one or more medial ferromagnetic components are magnets. 
     
     
         16 . The toilet seat of  claim 15 , in which the one or more posterior ferromagnetic components and the one or more anterior ferromagnetic components are comprised of steel. 
     
     
         17 . The toilet seat of  claim 12 , in which the anterior section includes a finger notch. 
     
     
         18 . The toilet seat of  claim 13 , in which the anterior section includes a finger notch. 
     
     
         19 . The toilet seat of  claim 15 , in which the anterior section includes a finger notch. 
     
     
         20 . A toilet seat comprising:
 a posterior section;   an anterior section comprising a finger notch;   a child seat section;   rotatable attachment means by which said child seat section may be joined to said posterior section;   one or more medial ferromagnetic components comprised of one or more ferromagnetic materials that are not magnetized;   one or more posterior ferromagnetic components that are magnets; and   one or more anterior ferromagnetic components that are magnets.
