ABSTRACT:
A hinge mechanism for controlling the operation of a toilet seat cover comprising a base, two pairs of linkages and a cover engaging element. An adjusting bolt and spring provide a structure for adjusting the alignment of the linkages. When the linkages are below their axes of alignment, the adjusting bolt interacts with the base to provide resistance to the opening of the seat cover. An alternative embodiment incorporates magnets on the seat cover and the toilet bowl and relies on the repelling force of the magnets to resist the opening of the seat cover.
