1.  The Invention
	Title Paper potty The problem the inventor(s) wanted to solve As a continuation of disposable diapers/nappies we developed a hygienic, easy to carry, quickly usable, small, cheap, disposable potty for children between the age of 1,5 – 4. Description. Disposable potty for children, the potty made of paperboard, with a special die-cutted form, pre-folded and packed. Presentation. The developers of Potty Flip^® recognized that there is a “gap” in the hygienic-market. Children between the age of 1,5 – 4 are not provided with a disposable potty of the same comfort as it was in their “nappy-world” before. The comfort and ease of the nappy can be expanded, we need a solution which is: hygienic, easy to carry, quickly usable, disposable, cheap, small – this is Potty Flip^®, the paper potty for children: We die-cut the special form from a paperboard plate. Folding edges at appropriate places enable to pre-fold the potty like a closed box with an inserted waterproof bag. The opened paperboard potty provides a high structural strength – many measurements proved, that after a crushing load – of about 200 kg! - the structure is still able to keep the children’s weight safely. The basic materials are: recycled biodegradable paperboard, as a bag we can apply a biodegradable plastic bag, or waterproof paper. After the use of the potty we can fold it with a flic into a small box and we can re-glue the original packaging paper-band overlapping the disposable box Application Households Advantages Hygienic, easy to carry, quickly usable, small, cheap, disposable Stage of development.
