Abstract: An automatic toilet seat having two electric drives functioning independently of one another is provided. One motor is connected to the seat and the other operates a paper gripper. Both motors are controlled by appropriate sensors and by an intelligent microprocessor control device. This particular technological model has the advantage that, due to the separate arrangement with one drive motor for the pivot drive of the seat and, independent of that, one drive motor for seizing the protective cover, it is possible to operate both drives completely separately from one another and thus to link the drives by an intelligent microprocessor control. With the intelligent microprocessor control unit, it is possible to adjust the two drives independently of one another and to adjust both of them to the site conditions (i.e., the location where the toilet seat is installed).
