Disposable, splash-suppressing toilet seat cover with folded annular and bridging inner portions

A toilet seat cover for a toilet having a bowl containing water at a predetermined level, said cover comprising:

• a sheet of disposable, flexible material having a size, when flat, sufficient to cover a toilet seat of a predetermined size,
• said sheet having, in its plan view when flat, a continuous, integral, joint-and seam-free annular perimeter portion and an inner portion surrounded by said annular perimeter portion,
• said inner portion being elongated and having opposite ends integrally and continuously attached to said annular portion so as to provide an integral bridge across said annular portion, said inner portion having side edges, between said opposite ends, which are free of said annular portion,
• means for allowing said inner portion to drop below said annular portion, said means comprising a plurality of folds extending generally transverse to the direction of elongation of said inner portion, said folds being at one end of said sheet and extending across said inner portion and said annular portion, such that when said annular portion is placed upon a toilet seat, said inner portion will unfold and drop below said seat and into said toilet, above said predetermined level,
• wherein when said toilet seat cover is placed upon a toilet seat, it can be rapidly deployed and said inner portion will automatically drop below said seat to provide a fecal splash suppressor, and said cover can be made without gluing.
