ABSTRACT:
A toilet seat tilting device includes a base, a seat tilting member, a cam member, a first lever, a second lever and a connecting rod. The base includes a cam bracket and a lever bracket. The cam member is pivotally attached to the cam bracket and includes a first arm and a second arm. The first lever and the second lever are pivotally attached to the lever bracket and include a pedal and an actuating arm. The connecting rod connects the cam member and the seat tilting member. When the first pedal is pressed the first actuating arm pivots the first arm of the cam member upward and the seat is tilted upward until the seat is fully pivoted upward, and the seat remains fully pivoted upward. The second pedal similarly operates to tilt the seat downward.
