A toilet bowl protecting assembly includes a flexible toilet bowl covering with a top wall having a front edge, a pair of lateral edges and a rear edge. A vertical wall is attached to and extends downwardly from the top wall. The vertical wall is attached to and is coextensive with each of the front and lateral edges. The top wall is positioned on top of a toilet lid and seat of the toilet and the vertical wall extending downwardly over a toilet bowl of the toilet. A flexible tank covering including an upper wall and a perimeter wall is attached to and extending downwardly from the upper wall, the tank covering is positionable on and covering a tank of the toilet.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

Field of the Disclosure

The disclosure relates to toilet bowl protecting devices and more particularly pertains to a new toilet bowl protecting device for covering and protecting a toilet so that work on a dwelling wall, floor or ceiling adjacent to the toilet does not mar, stain or otherwise blemish the toilet with dust or finishing materials.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a flexible toilet bowl covering that includes a top wall having a front edge, a pair of lateral edges and a rear edge. A vertical wall is attached to and extends downwardly from the top wall. The vertical wall is attached to and is coextensive with each of the front and lateral edges. The top wall is positioned on top of a toilet lid and seat of the toilet and the vertical wall extending downwardly over a toilet bowl of the toilet. A flexible tank covering including an upper wall and a perimeter wall is attached to and extending downwardly from the upper wall, the tank covering is positionable on and covering a tank of the toilet.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

As best illustrated inFIGS. 1 through 5, the toilet bowl protecting method and assembly10generally comprises a flexible toilet bowl covering12that includes a top wall14having a front edge16, a pair of lateral edges18and a rear edge20. A vertical wall22is attached to and extends downwardly from the top wall14. The vertical wall22is attached to and is coextensive with each of the front16and lateral18edges. The top wall14is positioned on top of a toilet lid72and seat74of a toilet70and the vertical wall22extends downwardly over a toilet bowl76of the toilet70. The vertical wall22includes a pair of lateral flaps24extending rearward of the rear edge20. A top flap26is attached to and extends away from the rear edge20. The top flap26is unattached to the lateral flaps24and is positionable on a connection between a tank78and the toilet bowl76of the toilet70.

A flexible tank covering30includes an upper wall32and a perimeter wall34that is attached to and extends downwardly from the upper wall32. The tank covering30is positionable on and covers the tank78of the toilet70. The toilet bowl12and tank30coverings are each comprised of a flexible material such as a plastic or paper material. Further, the material may be impermeable or resistant to fluids.

A plurality of couplers releasably couple the lateral flaps24to the tank covering30. The couplers include first mating members40attached to the lateral flaps24and second mating members42coupled to the perimeter wall34. The couplers may include hook and loop fasteners. The second mating members42may be positioned on a back wall36of the tank covering30to allow the lateral flaps24to be extended partially around the toilet tank78and shield the back side of the toilet bowl76.

Another embodiment of the invention is found inFIG. 5. This embodiment includes a one-piece covering50having the tank and bowl coverings fixedly coupled together.

In use, the assembly10is placed on a toilet as described above so that work adjacent to the toilet70may be performed without material, such as paint, dust and plaster type materials or any other elements used adjacent to the toilet70while repairing, fixing or finishing floors, walls and ceiling adjacent to the toilet70. The assembly10will ensure that the toilet70remains unmarred from these activities.
