Loo seat security

Post by cpedw »

If you have ever bust the hinges on the loo seat in heavy weather (no sniggering at the back) then you might be delighted by my recent discovery Image
These brackets are just plastic elbows, about 30mm deep by 45mm with 2 screw holes to attach underneath the loo seat. I got mine from the local Kleeneze lady; other suppliers may exist.

Phekk, I invented and fitted them to the last boat, but never pursued the commercial side, so much for my future...

Sorry I've brought this back so late (but I've no been weel) There's still an opportunity for you here and since I'm giving you the pointer I want a share in the profits...
I don't think the logical extension of the principle has been patented.
The seat is now secure - but we need to secure the airse to the seat - so another set of similar locating dogs pointing upwards screwed to the top of the seat are required for that feeling of complete "on the throne" security. :lol:
