ABSTRACT:
A lock mechanism normally restraining manual raising movement of a toilet lid. A lid control shoe has an outer portion adapted for attachment to a lid upper surface and a shelf portion projecting toward a toilet apron surface. A lid control arm is mounted on a medially positioned shelf pivot and has a short portion extending toward the shoe outer portion and a long portion extending toward an area adjacent the apron surface. Tension elements and a stop element carried by the shoe shelf normally position the control arm long portion and a vertical flange thereon in proximity to the apron surface. Preferably, the lid control arm projects upwardly toward the toilet apron surface at an angle of substantially five degrees (5.degree.).
