ABSTRACT:
A toilet seat to be raised or lowered over a conventional toilet bowl by a power control operated by the user. A pair of jacks, each having a rotary drive shaft, are disposed on each side of the bowl and are connected to a mounting plate which support the seat. The two jacks shafts are mechanically interconnected through a drive, which is located rearwardly and beneath the toilet bowl so that each jack will be raised or lowered the same distance thereby avoiding tilting. The mechanical interconnection is preferably a belt to lesson operating noise, but a chain and sprocket assembly could be used. A reversible electric motor acts as a power source to operate the drive. One jack shaft is pivotly mounted on its supporting base so as to adjust the position of its connected drive shaft to thereby tighten the belt type of drive to which the drive shaft is connected. A protective cover is located above the drive shaft to prevent any portion of the users clothing from becoming entangled within the drive.
