ABSTRACT:
A toilet seat lowering system, for use with a toilet seat having a seat bottom and a seat rear which is mounted upon a toilet bowl, comprising a top plate and a bottom plate. The top plate and bottom plate are mounted between the toilet seat and toilet bowl near the bowl rear, wherein the top plate is pivotally connected to the seat bottom, and the bottom plate is pivotally connected to the bowl. The top plate is hingeably mounted to the bottom plate near the seat rear. Bellows, having an internal cavity, is located between the top plate and bottom plate. An intake valve and a slow release valve are in communication with the internal cavity of the bellows. When the toilet seat is manually lifted from its initial lowered position to a raised position, air is drawn into the internal cavity through the intake valve, pressurizing the internal cavity and thus maintaining the toilet seat in the raised position. After a period of time, air escapes through the slow release valve, causing the toilet seat to return to the lowered position automatically.
