ABSTRACT:
An improved toilet locking apparatus of the type comprising a strap element having a clip attached at each end thereof for securing a toilet lid and seat in a closed position on a toilet bowl is provided. An improved first clip device is secured to a front or side portion of the internal spillway of a toilet bowl rim. A second improved clip device having a shape substantially similar to the first clip device but having a reduced dimension may removably engage a back or side portion of a toilet lid thereby allowing one to easily and efficiently lock or unlock the toilet lid by simply moving the second clip device outwardly. A notch is provided in a bottom portion of the first clip device so that water released from the toilet spillway rim may freely pass therethrough and to receive the small ceramic ball provided under the spillway rim of certain toilet bowls. Slots are provided in top portions of each clip device so that an elastic strap may be permanently attached therethrough.
