ABSTRACT:
A toilet seat assembly is provided having a seat that is pivotably supported at its forward end for swinging movement between substantially horizontal and upwardly inclined positions. A power lift mechanism is incorporated in the assembly and is selectively operable by the user to pivot the seat and support the seat in a desired position for assisting the user in moving between seated and standing positions. The power lift mechanism includes an expandible bladder of the bellows disposed at the rear of the seat assembly between a base structure adapted to be secured on the top of a toilet bowl and the pivoted seat that is also mounted on the base structure. A fluid control system is coupled with the expandible bladder and adapted to be connected with a source of pressurized fluid and has a manually actuated control valve operable by the user to permit admission of pressurized fluid into the bladder to cause its expansion and upward pivoting of the seat or to permit outflow of fluid from the bladder resulting in construction of the bladder and pivoting of the seat towards a horizontal position.
