ABSTRACT:
A base having removable side rails for elevating a toilet for use by physically handicapped or elderly persons is disclosed. The base is formed generally in the shape of a flat rectangle having a height equal to the amount by which it is desired to elevate the toilet above a floor for use. A large aperture is formed through the base near the central portion thereof having appropriate plumbing fittings for connecting the bowl of the toilet to the drain. A first pair of smaller apertures are provided to permit the passage therethrough of appropriate threaded fasteners so as to secure the toilet to the floor. A second pair of apertures are formed through the sides of the base to permit appropriate side rails to be inserted therein for use. Each of the side rails includes an adjustable grip which can be positioned and secured in a desired manner so as to assist a person in getting on and off of the toilet seat.
