ABSTRACT:
A decorative enclosure for conventional toilets to form a utility cabinet is disclosed. The enclosure provides an adjustable structure which fits over and conceals the conventional toilet and tank. The structure has a bottom closure cabinet with a hinged seating portion which fits over the toilet aperture and a top closure member which fits over the toilet tank. An adjustable toe kick member is provided to permit adjustment of the seat assembly portion of the enclosure to the proper height for use with an existing toilet bowl. A centering member is provided to locate the cabinet relative to the aperture in the toilet, to conform to the contour of the aperture and to provide a mount for the toilet seat. After adjustment of the toe kick member, the enclosure may be permanently fixed in place. A flusher assembly access hole is formed in the lid of the tank cover to connect a handle mounted on the lid to the flusher assembly of the conventional toilet. Optionally, the flusher assembly may be operatively engaged by lifting the lid of the tank cover. The enclosure further conceals the conventional toilet by providing a seat cover over the toilet seat which permits the enclosure to be used for seating purposes or as a utility end table.
