ABSTRACT:
A mechanism for supporting toilet bowl covering members, comprises a cylinder fixedly mounted on a toilet body and rotatably supporting a toilet seat or a toilet lid, lock plates fitted within the cylinder and connected for rotation with the toilet seat or the toilet lid, and a plurality of sliding rings fitted around the lock plates and held in sliding contact with the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder and having respective arcuate recesses of gradually variable arcuate lengths for controlling rotation of said lock plates. When the toilet seat or the toilet lid is rotated to close the toilet body, the lock plantes are also rotated to successively come into contact with steps in the recesses. As a result, the sliding rings are successively pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder so that the member closes slowly.
