Abstract:
A longitudinally adjustable toilet riser adapter apron for mounting over an underlying toilet riser in order to provide a toilet base mounting surface for a toilet base that extends beyond a forward end of the underlying toilet riser. The underlying toilet riser has a riser top panel and an upwardly protruding simulated closet flange. The apron is longer than the riser and slightly wider than the riser so it can fit over the riser in a nesting relationship. The top panel of the apron has a laterally centered and longitudinally elongated opening through the apron top panel. The opening has longitudinal side walls that are spaced apart farther than the lateral width of the riser flange to permit the riser flange to fit within the opening and be slidably and longitudinally adjustable within and along the opening. Apron sidewalls surround the riser and extend downward to the floor.

Claim (Index 6):
A toilet riser comprising the combination of an underlying toilet riser and a longitudinally adjustable toilet riser apron for mounting over the underlying toilet riser in order to provide a toilet base mounting surface for a toilet base that extends beyond a forward end of the underlying toilet riser, the combination more particularly comprising:\n (a) an underlying toilet riser having a riser length in a longitudinal direction that is longer than its riser width in a lateral direction, the underlying toilet riser having a riser top panel with a riser top surface and a flange having a lateral width and protruding a selected flange height from the riser top surface, the underlying toilet riser having supports extending from the riser top panel and terminating in a plane for supporting the toilet riser on a floor; (b) an apron top panel having an apron length in the longitudinal direction that is longer than the riser length and an apron width in the lateral direction that is wider than the riser width so the apron can fit over the riser, the apron top panel having an apron top surface and a laterally centered and longitudinally elongated opening through the apron top panel, the opening having longitudinal side walls that are spaced apart farther than the lateral width of the riser flange to permit the riser flange to fit within the opening and be slidably and longitudinally adjusted in position within and along the opening; and (b) apron sidewalls extending from the apron top panel, the apron sidewalls having a height and position to surround the riser top panel and extend to the floor.
