Toilet seat with built-in lift apparatus
Abstract
Toilet seat with built-in lift apparatus comprises a toilet seat
that has built-in long pivot-rod whose each end has installed a
small gear, a U-shaped lever whose each end has installed a large
gear each and a reverse U-shaped plate fastener that has two
side-wings. The U-shaped lever is fastened onto side-wings of
U-shaped plate fastener. The toilet seat and the plate fastener are
fastened onto toilet with a pair of bolts. Both small gears and
large gears catch snugly each other. When large gears rotate
clockwise small gears rotate counter clockwise and vice versa. Man
steps downward the U-shaped lever to lift toilet seat and releases

Claims
1. Toilet seat with built-in lift apparatus comprising a toilet
seat, a pair of small gears, a pair of large gears, a reverse
U-shaped plate fastener, two bolt fasteners and a U-shaped
gear-lever.
2. The said toilet seat in claim 1 has a built-in long rod as pivot
that is installed at the rear end and the said a pair of small
gears in claim 1 that each gear is installed at the end of the said
built-in long rod. Wherein the said built-in long rod is as long as
the top of toilet where the pivot of toilet seat is located and is
fastened onto toilet by bolt-fastener.
3. The said reverse U-shaped plate fastener in claim 1 is a
U-shaped plate that is placed on top of toilet under the said
built-in long rod in claim 2 and has a top plate and two
side-wings. Wherein the said top plate is as long as the said
built-in rod in claims 2 and 3 and has two holes in the middle to
pass the said two bolt-fasteners in claim 1 that hooks the said
built-in long rod in claims 2 and 3. Wherein the said two
side-wings each has a central hole to catch the said U-shaped
gear-lever in claim 1.
4. The said U-shaped gear-lever in claims 1 and 3 is a U-shaped
lever whose each end has installed one of the said a pair of large
gears in claim 1. Wherein the said large gear each has a bolt
installed at the center of inner side to pass through the said
central hole of side-wings in claim 3 and has a nut to screw onto
it. Wherein the said large gears is preferably twice as large as
the said small gears in claims 1 and 2.
5. The said a pair of small gears in claims 1, 2 and 4 catch snugly
the said a pair of large gears in claims 1 and 5 and rotate in
reverse direction to the said a pair of large gears.
Description
THE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] Man has to lift toilet seat with hand before urination to
prevent toilet seat from wet. The present invented toilet seat with
a built-in lift apparatus allows man to step on it to lift toilet
seat with foot instead of hand. Man also can releases it slowly to
lower the toilet seat.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Toilet seat with built-in lift apparatus comprises a toilet
seat, two sets of built-in gears and an U-shaped lever. Its toilet
seat can be raised by stepping downward the U-shaped lever. And
toilet seat can be lowered by releasing stepping slowly.
THE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0003] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of toilet seat with built-in
lift apparatus.
[0004] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of parts of toilet seat with
built-in lift apparatus.
[0005] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of toilet seat with built-in
lift apparatus in closure status.
[0006] FIG. 4 is a perspective view of toilet seat with built-in
lift apparatus in open status.
[0007] FIG. 5 is a perspective view of toilet seat and plate
fastener.
THE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0008] Referring now in detail to the drawings numeral 10 is a
toilet seat with built-in lift apparatus. Numeral 11 of FIGS. 1, 2,
3, 4 and 5 is a toilet seat. Numeral 12 of FIGS. 1, 2 and 5 is a
built-in pivot rod of toilet seat 11. Numeral 13 of FIGS. 1, 2, 3 4
and 5 is built-in small gear of toilet seat and is installed at
both ends of pivot rod 12. Numeral 14 of FIGS. 1, 2 and 5 is
ring-bolt that hooks pivot rod 12. Numeral 16 of FIGS. 1, 2 and 5
is bolt-nut that screws onto ring-bolt 14 to fasten toilet seat 11
to toilet 15 as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4. Ring-bolt 14 fastens
toilet seat 11 onto toilet 15 as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4.
Numeral 17 of FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 4 is a U-shaped gear-lever that has
installed a large gear 18 of FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 4 at both ends 20.
Large gear 18 of FIG. 2 has a pivot bolt 21 at inner center.
Numeral 19 0f FIGS. 3 and 4 is water tank. Numeral 22 of FIG. 2 is
nut that screws onto pivot bolt 21 to fasten U-shaped gear-lever 17
to the reverse U-shaped plate fastener 23 of FIG. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Numeral 23 of FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 is reverse U-shaped plate
fastener that has a top plate 24 and two side-wings 25. Top plate
24 of FIGS. 1, 2 and 5 has two holes 27 to allow ring-bolt 14 to
pass to fasten it onto toilet 15 with bolt-nut 16. Toilet seat with
built-in lift apparatus 10 is fastened onto toilet 15 by ring-bolt
14 and bolt-nut 16. Each side-wing 25 of FIGS. 2 and 5 has a hole
26 to allow pivot-bolt 21 to pass. After pivot-bolt 21 passes
through hole 27 of side-wing 25 from outside in nut 22 screws onto
pivot-bolt 21 to fasten U-shaped gear-lever 17 onto reverse
U-shaped fastener 23. The small gear 13 of pivot-rod 12 catches
snugly large gear 18 of U-shaped gear-lever 17. Large gear 18 is
preferably twice as large as small gear 13, therefore when large
gear 18 turns 30 degrees small gear 13 will turn 60 degrees to lift
toilet seat 60 degrees open. User steps U-shaped gear-lever 17
downward to lift toilet seat and releases slowly U-shaped
gear-lever 17 to lower toilet seat.
