Abstract
A hygiene safety guard that enables male urination without the penis to be placed inside the lavatory bowl when the person is in the process of defecation. This could prevent infection of the urinal tract within the penis which could lead to serious complications. The hygiene safety guard also enables female urination and it would also prevent the dirty water from splashing upward during male and female urination.
Claims1
A hygiene safety guard for use with a toilet seat mounted over a toilet bowl for protecting a male or female user's genitalia from contacting splashing water in the bowl comprising:
- a rigid planar element having a front end portion substantially configured to have the same shape as the front portion of the toilet seat and adapted to be affixed to the front portion of the toilet seat and a rear end portion defining a straight edge which leads from one side of the toilet seat to an opposite side of the toilet seat when said rigid planar element is affixed to the toilet seat;
- a round opening extending through said rigid planar element and adapted to receive the tip of a male user's penis thereon to enable the male user to urinate into the bowl while defecating into the bowl without exposing the male user's penis to splashing water within the bowl;
- and
- a narrow slit extending through said rigid planar element and extending from said round opening to said straight edge for enabling a female user to urinate into the bowl while defecating into the bowl without exposing the female user's genitalia to splashing water within the bowl.
