ABSTRACT:
A toilet anti-splash and silencer device for mounting on a toilet at the rear of the bowl. A baffle member for dispersing urine quietly into the water of the toilet bowl is pivotally suspended within the bowl on an arm member and is moved to an extended operative position when the toilet seat is raised and is moved to a retracted inoperative position when the seat is lowered. The seat contacts a portion of the silencer device so that movement of the seat moves the arm and baffle member to the desired position. The device may be attached to the center of the seat hinge pin or in toilets of the type where the center of the hinge pin is covered by the seat, a special spring attachment which fastens to the seat hinge brackets may be used. The device may be made of molded plastic, metal or other suitable materials suitably treated to prevent rust and corrosion. Another embodiment of the invention permits it to be fastened beneath the hinge brackets of the toilet, thereby making it useable either on a seat with an exposed hinge pin or the type where the hinge pin is covered by the seat.
