ABSTRACT:
A toilet bowl safety cover including a rigid housing member having a housing cavity having a first portion contoured to receive therein in a close fitting relationship the top portion of the toilet bowl and a toilet bowl base receiving portion contoured to receive therein in close fitting relationship the base of the toilet bowl assembly; and a top seating surface sized to cover the entire opening of the toilet bowl defined by the toilet bowl rim, the seating surface being supported by the rigid housing member with sufficient strength to support a person seated thereon; and a strapping mechanism having first and second strap sections connectable with a coupling mechanism, at least one of the first and second strap sections being configured with a length adjustment mechanism. In use the toilet bowl and toilet base are positioned respectively within the bowl receiving portion and the base receiving portion of the housing cavity. The rigid housing is then secured in place by wrapping the straps around the back section of the toilet bowl connecting the first and second strap sections together and adjusting the length of at least one of the strap sections with the length adjustment mechanism until a snug fit is achieved. The close fit between the housing cavity and the toilet bowl and toilet base prevents lifting of the cover when the strap is secured in place.
