ABSTRACT:
A toilet seat lift including a foot operated cable push/pull mechanism; a cable assembly; and a cable anchoring mechanism. The cable assembly includes a sheath that is attachable to the underside of an existing pivoting toilet seat. The push/pull mechanism pushes and pulls a cable disposed through the sheath and having an end anchored to the rim of the toilet bowl. When the cable is pushed, the cable generates a force between the pivoting toilet seat and the cable anchoring mechanism that acts to cause the pivoting toilet seat to pivot upward.
