In its broadest context, the present invention includes a toilet seat which is pivotally secured to the remaining toilet bowl. To the rearward extent of the toilet seat a pair of opposing drive cylinders are secured. Each of the drive cylinders is further threadably interconnected to a drive shaft. Each of these drive shafts is further interconnected to a horizontal drive shaft via a beveled gear assembly. A transverse drive shaft serves to drive the entire assembly and is interconnected to both of the horizontal drive shafts. A motor is interconnected to the transverse drive shaft for use in powering the entire assembly.
