ABSTRACT:
A mechanism is provided for automatically actuating the return of a conventional hinged toilet seat to the lowered position following a predetermined lapse of time after the toilet seat has been placed in the raised position.
The mechanism comprises a timing means to measure the lapse of predetermined period of time which is begun by the raising of a toilet seat and an actuator interconnected with the timing means to move the raised toilet seat sufficiently to result in the lowering of the toilet seat after the expiration of a predetermined time period. The device is conveniently retrofitted for use with conventional toilet seats which are hingedly connected at the rear to the top rear of a toilet bowl.
