ABSTRACT:
A device for lifting a cover and/or seat of a toilet bowl includes an inner tube telescoped within an outer tube which is connected to the seat or cover by a hook. The outer tube has a stop element that cooperates with an element on the inner tube to prevent separation. The inner tube is connected to one end of a cable, the other end being connected to a spring. The opposite end of the spring is connected to a handle that is looped over a pulley connected to the toilet tank. When the user pulls down on the handle, the inner tube telescopes inside the outer tube until the stop element is contacted, and continued pulling raises the seat and/or cover.
