ABSTRACT:
An automatic toilet seat lowering mechanism, generally composed of a water pressure sensor connected with the water supply to the toilet, a seat closure unit for effecting automatic closure of the toilet seat with a regulated rate of descent, and mechanical linkage between the water pressure sensor and the seat closure unit for automatically actuating closure of the toilet seat when the water pressure sensor detects a drop in line pressure occasioned by commencement of flushing of the toilet. The aforesaid components are easily retrofitted to an existing conventional tank-type or non-tank-type toilet with very little effort and essentially no modification. A manual over-ride in the mechanical linkage permits manual lowering of the toilet seat at any time.
