ABSTRACT:
A foot actuated toilet seat lifting, anti-slamming, and reseating device that functions exceptionally well over a wide range of user foot pressure variations or abruptness. The base member is substantially a lever pivotally attached to a fulcrum. The lever has a resilient material attached at the foot receiving end, an adjustable lifting rod pivotally attached at the opposite end, and a pneumatic device adjustably and pivotally attachable in between. Both the rod and pneumatic device extend upward and are pivotally attached to the toilet seat by a bracket. The pneumatic device does not provide resistance as the seat is lifted, dampens then stops the seat at the desired lift climax preventing slamming, and then provides a gentle return of the seat without slamming even if the users foot is abruptly removed. The resilient material on the foot receiving end feels good as well as aiding damping at lift climax, and aiding in return of the seat.
