ABSTRACT:
Feet support arrangement for detachable mounting on the front lip of a bowl of a lavatory to support the feet of a person sitting upon the lavatory. The feet support generally has a vertically disposed body member with a hook means at the upper edge thereof. The hook means extends over the front portion of the rim of the bowl of the lavatory and has a dependent flange extending downwardly therefrom on the inside of the bowl with the body means extending downwardly on the outside of the bowl. The flange member functions as a splash guard to prevent the passage of liquid between the rim of the bowl and the seat. An upper surface of the hook means is provided with a sealing means to engage the lower surface of the seat when the seat is in the down position. A pair of oppositely disposed feet support means extend outwardly in opposite directions from side edges of the body means. A person sitting on the seat of the lavatory may rest each foot upon one of the foot rest means so that the angular position between the legs and the torso of the person assumes an acute angle and thereby lessens the pressure exerted on the interior tibia muscles. Additionally, children may rest their feet on the feet support means to provide an additional sense of security for those children whose legs are not long enough to reach the floor upon which the lavatory is mounted.
