Patent Application
20240407611
A potty or potty chair is a proportionately small chair or enclosure with an opening for seating very young children to “go potty.” There are a variety of designs, some placed directly over the toilet called “Toilet Training Seats” so the fecal material drops directly into the toilet bowl thereby eliminating manual removal and disposal of the waste from a receptacle beneath the hole which is often a bag or receptacle similar to a chamber pot. Potty chairs are used during potty training, also called toilet training. Toilet training is the process of training someone, particularly a young child or infant, to use the toilet for urination and defecation.
The main purpose of the Potty Training Sticker is to provide users with a training potty that facilitates training children on releasing themselves via a latrine. As a parent, the time for potty training represents an exciting milestone in a child's life; however, this process is often problematic for most parents, and can be especially tricky when dealing with a temperamental toddler who's stubborn and stuck in his or her own ways. The interest in finding new means to make the potty-training process more enjoyable and entertaining for a child can also present a difficult challenge as the overall activity warrants a great deal of time and patience.
The Potty Training Tool offers a modern alternative that not only encourages toddlers to use the bathroom with confidence, but also transforms the otherwise mundane experience into a more interactive and exciting one. Expanding on the initial design of an average training potty, the Potty Training Tool introduces a heat-activated, detachable sticker containing drawings that appear when urinated on and defecated on. The sticker is placed on the bottom of a potty toilet. The ‘magically appearing’ drawings will not only motivate the toddler to use the bathroom, but will also create a consistent reward system that has been previously proven to help children learn how to use their training potty. The Potty Training Sticker ensures a fully operational training device at all times and creates a more inviting appeal to this developmental stage for children to allow for a smoother training experience.
The disclosed potty training sticker includes a portable potty comprising an inside bottom catch surface configured for receiving a urine and a defecation from a child user and a removable catch comprising a top surface visible to the child user and configured to fit inside the potty and to catch a urine and feces and to reveal a drawing message based on catching the urine and the feces.
