ABSTRACT:
An operator-controlled, toilet-seat lifting device applies a constant bias force, for example, by means of a helical spring, to the seat in a direction tending to raise the seat. The weight of the seat is sufficient to overcome the constant bias force so that the seat normally assumes a horizontal or down position. To raise the seat the user increases the bias force, for example, by depressing a foot-operated pedal connected to the bias means, so as to overcome the weight of the seat and cause the seat to swing upwardly. As the seat is held in raised position solely by bias force, forcible manual lowering of the seat when in its raised position does not damage any of the components.
