ABSTRACT:
A device for lifting a toilet seat without the hands of the user directly contacting such seat wherein a flat plate is attached to the underside of the toilet seat, such flat plate having its outer end protruding only slightly beyond the edge of the seat. The said outer end is formed with a pair of downwardly angled flanges adapted to receive a pivot pin therethrough, such pivot pin extending through the end of a preferably tubular handle. The handle will normally depend from the said pivot pin but when it is to be used, such handle is lifted into a horizontal position, i.e. parallel with the seat surface, and used to raise the toilet seat. A stop is built into the outer end of the flat plate attached to the seat to prevent the pivoted handle from rising above the plane of the seat surface. Provision may be made for latching the handle into position during actual use and the handle may be used as a receptacle for deodorant if desired.
