ABSTRACT:
A toilet seat lifting apparatus comprising two side-by-side pivotally connected flat members, a first member having two spaced holes for alignment with seat attachment holes in a rear portion of a toilet bowl, and a second member extending from the first member in a forward direction toward the front of the toilet bowl having a projection at its forward end for engagement with a toilet seat. The second member further includes a lever extending rearwardly past the first member. This assembly is operated by a foot operated actuating member mounted adjacent a side of the toilet bowl with a connection between the lever and the actuating member. Upon installation of the members beneath a toilet seat, operation of the actuating member pulls the lever down and forward, causing the second member to pivot up to lift the seat. This assembly further consists of a resilient restraint connected to a lower surface of the second member and above a top surface of the toilet bowl for restraining downward movement of the second member with respect to the top surface of a toilet bowl.
