ABSTRACT:
A foot actuated toilet seat lifting device having an adjustable width toilet seat attachment bracket, a telescoping lifting arm assembly, an actuator lever, a fluid pressure cylinder, and a base assembly. The rear end of the fluid pressure cylinder is pivotally secured to the base assembly and the front end of its piston rod is pivotally secured to the actuator lever intermediate its front and rear ends. The actuator lever is secured to a transversely extending axle mounted in the base assembly. A foot pedal assembly is mounted on the front end of the actuator level. When the foot pedal is depressed, the actuator level pivots around its axle and lifts the telescoping lifting arm assembly tube upwardly. This causes the toilet seat attachment bracket secured to its upper end to lift the toilet seat through a predetermined upward angle. The fluid pressure cylinder allows the toilet seat to be automatically slowly lowered to its horizontal position upon release of pressure on the foot pedal assembly.
