ABSTRACT:
A folding commode seat for use primarily by wheel-chair bound persons, which seat includes a generally C-shaped panel constructed of a vinyl-dipped foam material and having a flexible hinge therein at a base end thereof, with spaced panel segments extending forwardly from the flexible hinge and terminating in spaced relationship at the opposite ends. A pair of short web straps are secured in spaced relationship to the inside margins of each of the folding panel segments and a pair of longer Velcro straps are attached in spaced relationship to the outside of the folding panel segments opposite the web straps, respectively. A strap loop is attached to the extending ends of each of the web straps and the folding commode seat is attached to a conventional commode seat on a commode bowl by extending the Velcro straps beneath the conventional commode seat and through the respective strap loops, and subsequently folding the Velcro straps to engage the respective loop and pile fasteners attached to the Velcro straps, for securing the respective panel segments of the folding commode seat on top of the existing commode seat. Alternatively, the respective web straps and Velcro straps can each be shaped from a single strap and laminated to the the bottom of the vinyl-dipped foam panel segments, as desired.
