ABSTRACT:
An auxiliary toilet seat has a bench type seat supported by two vertical legs. Horizontal mounting flanges on the lower ends of each vertical leg are utilized to permanently attach the auxiliary toilet seat in front of a conventional toilet in a public rest room. The bench type seat is connected by a hinge to a top end of one of the vertical legs. The bench seat may be swung between open and closed positions, to provide access to the toilet. In use, an individual sits on the auxiliary bench seat while utilizing the toilet. This provides protection against acquiring communicable diseases while utilizing conventional public toilet seats. In a second embodiment of the present invention, the vertical legs provide a cantilever support for attachment to existing toilet mounting bolts. This construction does not require the drilling of any additional holes in the floor of the public rest room. A tissue roll holder is positioned adjacent one end of the bench seat and allows the seat to be covered with clean tissue paper after each use.
