Abstract:
A toilet seat with a fluid barrier; the toilet seat includes a substantially oval shaped body correspondingly dimensioned to an annular rim of a toilet bowl. A fluid barrier may be integrally formed to the substantially oval shaped body extending perpendicular from the bottom surface of the front portion. Further discussed is a fluid barrier for attachment to an annular toilet seat. The fluid barrier may have an elongated barrier wall having an upper edge and an attenuated lower edge. The fluid barrier may have a fastener disposed on the upper edge. The fastener may be configured to attach the elongated barrier wall to the lower surface of the annular toilet seat.

Claim (Index 17):
A toilet seat system, the system comprising:\n a toilet seat with a fluid barrier for use with a toilet bowl having an annular rim with a rim-inner radius, the annular rim having a depth defining a rim-inside surface and a rim width defining a rim-top surface and a rim-outer radius, the toilet seat comprising: a substantially oval shaped body correspondingly dimensioned to the annular rim, said substantially oval shaped body having a top surface, a bottom surface, opposed front and back portions, and a body-inner radius that is smaller than the rim-inner radius, an integrated fluid barrier, the fluid barrier integrally formed to the substantially oval shaped body extending perpendicular from the bottom surface of the front portion of the substantially oval shaped body; further comprising a hinge disposed on the back portion of the substantially oval shaped body configured to pivotably connect the toilet seat to the annular rim; wherein the bottom surface of the substantially oval shaped body is configured to be parallelly oriented to and abut with the rim-top surface of the annular rim; wherein the fluid barrier is parallel and adjacent to the rim-inside surface when the bottom surface of the substantially oval shaped body is parallel and adjacent to the rim-top surface; wherein the substantially oval shaped body further includes abutment pads disposed about the bottom surface; wherein the fluid barrier forms an arch; wherein the arch is at least partially disposed long the body-inner radius of the front portion of the substantially oval shaped body; wherein the body-outer radius is greater than the rim-outer radius; wherein the bottom surface of the substantially oval shaped body includes apertures configured to receive fasteners to attach the hinge; a fluid barrier for attachment to an annular toilet seat having an inner periphery, an upper surface and a lower surface, the fluid barrier comprising: an elongated barrier wall, the elongated barrier wall having an upper edge, an attenuated lower edge and a length corresponding to a front quadrant of the inner periphery of the annular toilet seat, and a fastener, the fastener disposed on the upper edge and configured to attach the elongated barrier wall to the lower surface along the front quadrant of the inner periphery of the annular toilet seat; wherein the elongated barrier wall comprises a substantially fluid proof material; wherein the fastener is an adhesive material disposed along the upper edge; wherein the adhesive material includes a removable backing; wherein the fluid barrier is configured to be separable from the lower surface; wherein the elongated barrier wall comprises a flexible material; wherein the flexible material is configured to be cured to a rigid state;
