ABSTRACT:
A locking device for use with a toilet provided with a seat and cover or lid assembly. The device provides the locking of the cover to the toilet bowl so as to prevent access to the interior of the bowl by small children or persons lacking knowledge of its operation or suitable dexterity. A flat locking strap of suitable length is secured at one end to the top of the toilet seat cover. The strap is provided with a tapered section near its free end which terminates in a grippable handle. A lock cylinder is attached to the toilet bowl exterior in position to receive the tapered section of the locking strap. The lock cylinder has a longitudinal slot and internal bore sized to permit only an edgewise insertion or removal of the tapered section of the locking strap. When the toilet cover is lowered and the locking strap inserted and turned flat within the lock cylinder further movement of the locking strap is prevented, thus locking the toilet seat cover closed. The toilet cover lock is easily mounted and when unlocked causes no interference with the normal usage of the toilet seat and cover.
