ABSTRACT:
An attachment for a toilet seat is provided which ensures that a toilet seat may not be left in the upright position. An arm attaches to one side of the toilet seat and projects downwardly outside the toilet bowl. The toilet seat is arranged so that it will always fall forward from any position due to the force of gravity on the seat and the leverage caused by the weight of the arm. An optional stop mechanism is provided to limit the rearward travel of the toilet seat to ensure that the seat will always fall forward. In use, the toilet seat is held in the upright position by resting the arm against the user's leg.
