ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for automatically but delayedly lifting a toilet seat has a positioning base, a lifting weight and an L-shaped lifting rod. The positioning base is adapted to be firmly secured onto a toilet and includes a short shaft laterally extending therefrom. The lifting weight is a hollow housing including a fore-portion, a mid-portion and a post-portion. The fore-portion is formed with a transverse shaft hole for the short shaft of the positioning base. The mid-portion is formed with a front chamber, and the post-portion is formed with an upper and a lower chamber for containing water or other fluid to create a fluid weight effect. The L-shaped lifting rod is attached at one end to the free end of the fore-portion of the lifting weight and the opposite free end thereof is adapted to inserted between the toilet seat and the toilet. Water can flow among the front, upper and lower chambers to change the lifting torque, so that the toilet seat can be automatically but delayedly lifted by its weight.
