ABSTRACT:
An automatic lowering mechanism for a toilet seat comprises a device for translating the rotational movement of the toilet seat into a lateral movement which is used in conjunction with a pneumatic compression cylinder to retard the descent of the toilet seat so that it comes to gently rest upon a toilet bowl. This mechanism for translating the motion of the toilet seat from a rotary to a lateral motion as well as the pneumatic compression cylinder can easily be replaced without removal of the entire automatic toilet seat lowering mechanism.
