ABSTRACT:
A toilet seat lifting apparatus (10) mounted on a commode bowl (52) of conventional design and shown to connect with a water reservoir (53). However, the lifting apparatus is designed to be mounted on various types of toilets such as those having a pressurized water conduits connected directly with the bowl. The apparatus is designed to be mounted contiguous (11) with the surface supporting the toilet seat (46) thereby conveniently positioning a foot pedal (16) at some selected height above the floor and eliminating the need to stablize the lifting apparatus by contact with the floor.
The lifting apparatus features a system of levers (10) mechanically operated by the foot action of the user. The lifting motion produced by the leverage system is compensated by a tension spring (44) incorporated into the structure of the lifting apparatus (10). The tension spring additionally functions to dampen the return of the toilet seat (46) to the resting position (54). The toilet seat lifting apparatus (10) offers a simple design wherein components can be easily assembled and the apparatus readily installed even by a user lacking mechanical skills.
