This invention is a new invention in which no patents or ideas already exist. This is a brand new product that will be brought to the market. This invention does not improve any other product on the market. It is a new product and that is standalone. The main impetus for the PeeWee Waterslide toilet training apparatus is to train boys to properly pee into the toilet while encouraging aim, while reducing excess urine to splash on the back of the toilet, floor and onto the seat. Kids aim into the animal face or character that is clipped onto the toilet and the pee goes down a slide into the toilet.
Stephanie Ann Green is a full time working mother of 3 small kids with an MBA. Her house is comprised of 3 males and she is constantly trying to teach them to pee into the actual toilet instead of on the floor or on the back seat of the toilet. On an average day, she wipes off urine from her toilet 5 times a day and not to mention the bad urine smell that emulates in the bathroom. One day she was teaching her youngest child to try and pee into the existing base hole of the toilet and said “pretend it is a waterslide and try and shoot down the hole”. That minute the PeeWee Waterslide was invented as a training tool for kids; to teach better aim and to alleviate urine on surfaces.
As mentioned above, there is a huge market and need for this product. The invention is comprised of an animal, shape or character (all items or designs on the slide are in scope) that is clipped onto the front of the toilet where the kids aim and pee through an entry point (like the mouth of an animal), and then the exit of the mouth has a slide that goes down into the toilet bowl and exits before it hits the toilet water. Due to the flexible accordion type of the mount, mentioned above, the waterslide can move to any height of the child.
Please refer to separate diagram of the PeeWee Waterslide. Each element is properly labeled.
There is no other invention like this one the market. This is not an improved product patent either. The process is simple with existing materials on the market. All materials are on the market currently so it's a matter of assembling existing materials that are commercially available. This invention requires the use of a cool or attractive entry point (like an animal character or any other design) and after the pee enters the entry point, it goes down a slide to the toilet. Kids pee into the animal mouth or whatever design it may be (aka entry point), and watch their pee go down the slide to the toilet (exit point).
