ABSTRACT:
A movable toilet seat, the seat portion of which remains horizontal while raising and lowering. An upper frame capable of having a common toilet seat attached raises and lowers with respect to a lower frame. The lower frame provides support for the upper frame and is attached to the toilet. When the upper frame is raised, it also travels forward to allow more clearance from the toilet for the user. When the upper frame is lowered, it travels back to situate the user directly over the toilet bowl. Preferably, a reversible motor is used to raise and lower the upper frame. However, alternative embodiments encompass the use of an air shock absorber and a manual jack.
