A toilet seat includes a seat and a device for applying and transporting a tube-like protective covering for the seat, which is unwound from a delivery spool and wound onto a delivery takeup roll contained in a housing of the device. The seat on an end facing the takeup roll is mounted to pivot and fastened via a high-like connection to at least one wall at least partially separating the housing interior or to a fastening element. Simple and reliable cleaning of the device is made possible by free access to areas and by tilting the toilet seat up.
