ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a dual mode seat system for a toilet. The seat system includes a toilet seat, a hinge, and a support. The hinge is joined with a seat back end and can also join with the toilet there. The supports is joined to a seat front end and is located between the toilet seat and the toilet when the toilet seat is positioned overlying the toilet. The hinge and the support together (a) cooperate to maintain the toilet seat in a low mode which provides a low spacing between the toilet seat and the toilet, and alternatively, (b) cooperate to maintain the toilet seat in a high mode which provides a high spacing between the toilet seat and the toilet, and in both modes with the toilet seat in a substantially horizontal orientation and where the high spacing is greater than the low spacing.
