Dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat
A toilet seat is easily soiled by urine of men and boys if they have not lifted the toilet seat before they urinate. The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat can solve this problem by one mode of automatically lifting toilet seat by the mechanism of a seesaw or another mode of manually stepping on footboard to lift the toilet seat with minimum effort by the mechanism of a seesaw. Dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat can be converted simply by changing the hanging position of weighted connectors on levers from the mode of automatically lifting apparatus to the mode of manually lifting apparatus by stepping on footboard and vice versa.
A toilet seat is often soiled by urine when men or boys urinate without lifting the toilet seat. The present invented dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat can solve this problem by lifting the toilet seat automatically or by stepping on a footboard to lift the toilet seat.
THE BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONA dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat consists of one or two levers which grasps the back of a toilet seat, a footboard which has an add-on weight and weighted connectors which connect the back portions of the levers to the rear end of the footboard. Dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat can a lift toilet seat automatically when the leverage of the sum of the weights of the connectors and footboard is greater than that of the weight of the toilet seat by the mechanism of a seesaw. When the leverage of the weight of the toilet seat is adjusted to be a little bit greater than that of the sum of weights of the connectors and footboard the toilet seats will lower and sits on the toilet and men or boys can step on the footboard to lift easily the toilet seat because of the minimum difference of weight.
Referring now to the drawings numeral 10 of
Claims
1. A dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat comprising two grasping levers, two weighted connectors, and a weighted footboard wherein said apparatus lifts a toilet seat using a seesaw action.
2. The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat of claim 1, wherein said grasping lever has a grasping clip to grasp the back of said toilet seat.
3. The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat of claim 1 wherein said grasping lever has one or more hooks to connect to said weighted connector.
4. The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat of claim 3, wherein said hooks allow said weighted connector to connect to said grasping lever at different locations to change the amount of leverage on said grasping lever, whereby said apparatus can be changed from one that lifts said toilet seat automatically to one that requires said footboard to be stepped on to lift said toilet seat.
5. The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat of claim 1, wherein said weighted connector connects said grasping lever and said weighted footboard.
6. The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat of claim 1, wherein said footboard allows a person to step on said footboard to apply weight on said apparatus to lift said toilet seat.
7. The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat of claim 1, wherein
8. said weighted connectors and said weighted footboard have enough weight to lift or nearly lift said toilet seat by applying a downward force on one end of said grasping levers, whereby said apparatus can automatically lift said toilet seat or manually lift said toilet seat when a person steps on said footboard, respectively.
9. A dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat comprising a grasping lever, a weighted connector and a weighted footboard. Wherein said apparatus lifts a toilet seat using a seesaw action.
10. The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat of claim 8, wherein said gasping lever has a grasping clip to grasp the back edge of said toilet seat.
11. The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat of claim 8, wherein said grasping lever has one or more hooks to connect to said weighted connector.
12. The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat of claim 10, wherein said hooks allow said weighted connector to connect to said grasping lever at different locations to change the amount of leverage on said grasping lever, whereby said apparatus can be changed from one that lifts said toilet seat automatically to one that requires said footboard to be stepped on to lift said toilet seat.
13. The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat of claim 8, wherein said weighted connector connects said grasping lever and said weighted footboard.
14. The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat of claim 1, wherein said footboard allows a person to step on said footboard to apply weight on said apparatus to lift said toilet seat.
15. The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat of claim 8, wherein said weighted connector and said weighted footboard have enough weight to lift or nearly lift said toilet seat by applying a downward force on one end of said grasping lever, whereby said apparatus can automatically lift said toilet seat or manually lift said toilet seat when a person steps on said footboard, respectively.
