ABSTRACT:
A toddler-proof latch for a toilet flush lever having a housing adapted to be mounted to the wall of a water closet in a prearranged position in the vicinity of the flush lever. An actuating mechanism is carried at least partially within the housing and is manually actuable from a latching position to an unlatching position. A spring biasing arrangement is provided for the actuating mechanism to bias it towards the latching position. A latch arrangement is carried on either the housing or the actuator means and operates in response to the actuator means to prevent operation of the toilet flush lever when the actuator means is in the spring biased latching position and permits operation of the flush lever when the actuating mechanism is in the manually actuated unlatching position. Various embodiments adapted to mount over the toilet flush lever or adjacent to the flush lever are disclosed. A locking mechanism for the actuating means to selectively lock it into an unlatching position is also disclosed.
