ABSTRACT:
A splash-suppressing toilet seat cover (10) made of a sheet of paper or other disposable folding material. The sheet is cut and folded so that an annular portion acts as a toilet seat cover (16) to prevent body contact with toilet seat (42). The center-cut portion hangs below the user's buttocks (40) and the rest of the seat cover and above the toilet water's surface so as to act as a splash-suppressing device (26). The splash-suppressing device (26) effectively reduces splashing of toilet water caused by the drop of stools into toilet water, and also blocks the splashes, when and if they occur, from contacting the human body. A zig-zag or fan-fold is provided at one end of the cover; this fan-fold extends across the center portion and its adjacent side portions. By unfolding the fan-folds of the center portion and leaving the fan-folds of adjacent portions folded, the center portion can effectively be made longer so that it can hang down below the side portions. Two openings are provided in the splash-suppressing device (26). One opening is formed by a pair of flaps (30) and (32) to slow down the speed of the stools so as to reduce the chance of creating a splash. The other opening is formed by a flap (36) which allows urine to drip onto the water surface (44) without contaminating the toilet's surrounding area; also it prevents the user's penis (46) from contacting the toilet seat (42).
