ABSTRACT:
A toilet seat ring automatic raising structure consists of magnetic lever and magnetic spring types. The magnetic lever type of structure has a pair of actuating legs with appropriate weight for lifting up the seat ring automatically. The actuating legs have iron rods which are attracted to the magnetic rods in a magnetic base so that the seat ring can be securely held in place. The repelling and releasing of the magnetic force is used to lift up the seat ring automatically. The magnetic spring type of structure has magnetic rods installed on the inner edge of the seat ring, such magnetic rods have corresponding magnetic coils in a base. When the seat ring is covering up the toilet bowl, the magnetic rods are attracted to the magnetic coils so that the seat ring can be held securely in place. To lift up the seat ring, power is applied to the magnetic coils from which repelling magnetic forces are generated and the attraction between the magnetic rods and the magnetic coils are released. Therefore, the seat ring can be lifted up gradually by the resiliency of a spring.
