foregoing objects is to provide a foldable toilet-seat for children in 
which the invention is easily assembled and can be easily mounted to any 
common stool. 
Another and yet still further object of the present invention is the 
provision of such apparatus that can be folded and does not occupy space. 
Other objects, features and advantages of the instant invention will become 
more apparent from the following description when taken in conjunction 
with the accompanying drawing which for purpose of illustration, but not 
of limitation.

DEATILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
With reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, there is shown and illustrated a 
foldable toilet-seat for children constructed in accordance with the 
principles of the present invention. The present invention comprising a 
mini toilet-seat (2), handrail (3), slanting bar (4), a supporting board 
(5), supporting rod (6) and etc. At the top end of mini toilet-seat (2), a 
short piece of pipe (21) is mounted horizontally below the said end. By 
applying a screw, the mini toilet-seat (2) can be pivotally fitted with 
toilet seat at the back portion (22) of stool. Underneath the mini 
toilet-seat (2), groove (24) is provided such that the mini toilet-seat 
(2) can be retained on the toilet seat of stool. (As shown in FIG. 4). The 
mini toilet-seat (2) can be moved upward and downward freely about the 
pivot at the back portion (22), while at the lateral edges of mini 
toilet-seat, two protrusion (23) are provided so that one end of handrail 
(3) can be tightly secured such that the handrail (3) and mini toilet-seat 
(2) are at the same plan. The other end of handrail (3) is pivoted with 
each of the supporting bar (6), such that the said supporting bar (6) can 
be freely moved up and down about this point. About 1/3 of the total 
length away from the top end of supporting rod (6), a standing bar (4) is 
pivotally mounted at one of its end, while a supporting board (5) is 
disposed at about 2/3 of total length away from said rod (6). At the 
bottom surface of supporting board (5) a metallic strip (51) is disposed 
perpendicularly and form a hook, (as shown in FIG. 5) such that the hook 
can be engaged with the horizontal bar (41) which is transversely 
connected the two slanting bar (4) so that the said said slanting bar (4) 
will not be slided away. 
With reference to FIG. 3, long adjustable nuts (61) (42) are screwed at the 
end of supporting bar (6) and slanting bar (4) respectively, such that the 
height of such apparatus can be adjusted in order to adapt the height of 
stool. 
Turning now to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, when the preferred embodiment is in 
operation, the mini toilet-seat (2) is retained on the top of toilet-seat 
(1), as the bottom surface of said mini toilet-seat is provided with 
groove (24) (as shown in FIG. 4), therefore, it can be firmly fitted on 
said toilet-seat (1). The supporting bar (6) is perpendicular to the 
ground and it is adjusted to the same height of the stool. The slanting 
bar (4) is opened widely about 45 degrees with the supporting bar (6), 
the metallic strip (51) of said supporting board (5) can be horizontally 
engaged with the horizontal bar (41), and thus, the supporting board (5) 
is secured. 
When the preferred embodiment is not in use, said slanting bar (4) and 
supporting board (5) can be folded at pivots and arranged into a plan. As 
said slanting bar (4) lies within the supporting bar (6), the horizontal 
bar (41) of slanting bar (4) will not be entangled with supporting bar 
(6), therefore, when said mini toilet-seat is moved upward, the whole 
structure of this invention will lean against the water tank (As shown in 
FIG. 2). 
Although the invention has herein above been described in the presently 
preferred embodiment, it will be understood by those having skill in the 
art that the invention is capable of modification and variation, and is 
limited only by the following claims.
