ABSTRACT:
A toilet seat lifting handle assembly having a sanitary cavity with a finger opening facing away from the toilet bowl. The handle assembly includes a bracket permanently mounted to the underside of the toilet seat and a handle removably attached to the bracket. Removable attachment does not require the use of tools. A dovetail engagement between bracket and handle enables the handle to slide out of the bracket for sanitization purposes, yet remain affixed thereto in the presence of typical toilet seat lifting or lowering forces. The handle also breaks away from the bracket without damage to the handle or bracket when the handle is exposed to a downwardly directed blow when the seat is in a substantially horizontal position.
