Abstract
Abstract In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a toilet seat element having an upper planar or flat surface with an oblong hole therethrough wide at a back portion and tapered to a narrow width at a forward portion of the hole, has an uprightly mountable back-shield element which may serve alternately as a urinal or a back for support of a backwardly-leaning child, alternately positionable at any of different mounting positions located along a length of the hole from the wider portion to the narrow portion, with the back-shield element extending across the hole transversely along the width thereof such that when positioned near the back a wider hole is exposed and when positioned near the front a narrower hole is exposed, and with a ramp mountable at alternate positions providing for the climbing to the toilet seat element from the floor level, and each of the ramp and the back-shield element mounting mechanisms also providing clamping mechanisms preventing the toilet seat element from shifting laterally thus making the toilet seat element sturdy.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
188 words
A toilet seat device comprising in combination: a toilet seat element having a planar upper surface with a through-space passage therethrough substantially centrally thereof, the through-space passage being of a substantially oblong shape wider at a rearward first end and tapered to a narrow width at a remaining opposite forward second end thereof, and a back-shield element having shield-mounting means for positioning erectly at any of alternate positions above and extending transversely across said through-space passage ranging from a position substantially at said rearward first end of wider width to a position substantially at and spaced-from said remaining opposite forward second end of narrow width, said back-shield element being mounted on said toilet seat element at one of said alternate positions detachably adapted such that optionally wide width or narrow width forward through-space forward of the back-shield element may be selected by a predetermined selection for positioning said back-shield element at said any of alternate positions, said back-shield element being structured such that unobstructed free-space exists above the forward through-space forward of said back-shield element between said forward second end and a forward face of said back-shield element.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
188 words
A toilet seat device comprising in combination: a toilet seat element having a planar upper surface with a through-space passage therethrough substantially centrally thereof, the through-space passage being of a substantially oblong shape wider at a rearward first end and tapered to a narrow width at a remaining opposite forward second end thereof, and a back-shield element having shield-mounting means for positioning erectly at any of alternate positions above and extending transversely across said through-space passage ranging from a position substantially at said rearward first end of wider width to a position substantially at and spaced-from said remaining opposite forward second end of narrow width, said back-shield element being mounted on said toilet seat element at one of said alternate positions detachably adapted such that optionally wide width or narrow width forward through-space forward of the back-shield element may be selected by a predetermined selection for positioning said back-shield element at said any of alternate positions, said back-shield element being structured such that unobstructed free-space exists above the forward through-space forward of said back-shield element between said forward second end and a forward face of said back-shield element.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
A toilet seat device of claim 1, including a suspended lever means mounted on a toilet cabinet and having a lever handle graspable by a pet animal's paw adapted when pulled downwardly to effect a flushing of a toilet flush handle of the toilet cabinet.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
A toilet seat device of claim 1, including water-flush means for washing-down a forward-face of the back-shield element, for detachable mounting at an upper portion thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
A toilet seat device of claim 1, including a bird perch element mounted across said through-space passage.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
36 words
A toilet seat device of claim 1, including handle-bar means for providing a graspable handle mountable along at-least one elongated edge of said through-space passage such that a child may securely hold himself against being unsteady.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim

A toilet seat device of claim 5, including one of said handle-bar means on each of opposite sides of said through-space passage.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
32 words
A toilet seat device of claim 1, including ramp means for providing a climbing structure upon which a pet animal may climb upwardly from a floor level onto said planar upper surface.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
66 words
A toilet seat device of claim 7, including ramp mounting means for mounting an upper end of the ramp means onto the planar upper surface and for concurrently anchoring said toilet seat element against lateral slipping to and fro, the ramp mounting means including anchor elements extending downwardly positionable to brace against an inner periphery of a hole-forming structure therebelow constituting a part of a toilet.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
33 words
A toilet seat device of claim 7, in which said toilet seat element includes ramp-mounting positions spaced around a periphery of the planar upper surface providing alternate mounting positions. for the ramp means.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
40 words
A toilet seat device of claim 1, in which said back-shield element includes side flanges extending forwardly when the back-shield element is mounted transversely across the through-space passage along a width thereof, transverse to a width of the through-space passage.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
65 words
A toilet seat device of claim 10, in which the positioning means includes for the back-shield element, shield element-mounting means for concurrently anchoring said toilet seat element against slipping to and fro of the toilet seat element, the shield element-mounting means including anchor shield element extending downwardly positionable to brace against an inner periphery of a hole-forming structure therebelow constituting a part of a toilet.
