ABSTRACT:
A toilet seat lifting and lowering device composed of a self supported moveable base, a foot pedal mounted on the base, an upright rod hinged to the foot pedal on one end and hinged at the top to a lift arm that extends all the way across the back underside of a toilet seat and is secured to same. A hand operated attachment consisting of a vertically mounted rod secured to the toe of the foot pedal and braced with a rod that is secured to the heel part of the foot pedal which can be utilized to make the toilet seat lifting and lowering device hand operable. The foot pedal pivots so that pressure on the heel part of the foot pedal raises the upright rod which simultaneously raises the lift arm and the toilet seat. The foot pedal and supporting base can be positioned so that when the toilet seat reaches the upright position it will remain upright when the user's foot is removed from the foot pedal. By utilizing a complete foot pedal, the user can lower the toilet seat by pressure on the toe section of the foot pedal to pull the upright rod, lift arm and toilet seat down in a controlled movement.
