ABSTRACT:
A seating assist apparatus for assisting one in the use of a seat whereby the seat is movable between a horizontal resting position and a raised and tilted position. The apparatus comprises a mounting plate for mounting the seat thereto, a support member adapted to engage the stationary frame portion, rear and forward seat supporting members pivotally coupling the mounting plate and support member, a lever arm attached to an end of one of the rear and forward seat supporting members, and a device for exerting force on the lever arm to pivot the rear and forward seat supporting members when activated by the user of the apparatus. The upward pivoting of the rear and forward seat supporting members raises the mounting plate and the seat mounted thereon, and the rear and forward seat supporting members are dimensioned so that the rear portion of the mounting plate and seat are elevated to a greater extent than the forward portion of the mounting plate and seat.
