1. A portable folding toilet seat that is so ultra light weight and compactable, that it can be carried in a back pack, luggage compartment or other packable means for use in the wilderness areas or for overseas travel;

  • comprising of a curved seat section with a top surface, a bottom surface, a back section, a front section and an open middle;

    the front section and the back section are connected by a molded center pivot axis, which allows the front and back sections to pivot open and closed;

    when the seat section folded joins the bottom surfaces of the front and back sections;

    the top surfaces of the front and back sections are facing in opposite directions and exposed outwardly;

    when fully closed, the seat has a clam shell appearance and two flat surfaces being exposed with the molded center pivot axis in between;

    extending from one surface on either side of the center pivot axis is a molded extension with a small protrusion at the end of the extension;

    on the opposing flat surface, a molded groove with a small recess receives the extension with the small protrusion with a snap fit locking the sections of the seat into a rigid position when the seat is fully opened.
