Abstract
Impact absorbing bumpers are contoured to be seated on the supporting surfaces of toilet bowl rims in cross-sectional alignment therewith at angularly spaced locations before attachment to the underside of a toilet seat. The toilet seat when hingedly mounted on the toilet bowl is displaced to its lowered position for attachment to the seated bumpers by adjustable attaching means.
