Abstract: A toilet seat and lid assembly includes a toilet lid. A toilet seat is pivotally carried by the toilet lid. A seat raising mechanism includes a lock housing rotatable between a lowered seat position and a raised seat position, a lock pin cavity in the lock housing, a spring-loaded lock pin disposed for displacement in the lock pin cavity between a locking position and an unlocking position, a seat bracket engaged for rotation by the lock housing and engaging the toilet seat and a torsion spring normally biasing the lock housing in the lowered seat position. A pin actuating rod is carried by the toilet lid. The pin actuating rod engages the lock pin for actuation of the lock pin from the locking position to the unlocking position. A seat actuation button is carried by the toilet lid and engages the pin actuating rod.
