  • Patent number: 5267357
    Abstract: A lid and seat locking apparatus for a toilet includes a mounting assembly, an elongated rod, and an actuating assembly. The mounting assembly is attachable to the flush tank at a location spaced above the bowl. The rod couples the seat and lid to the mounting assembly to undergo pivotal movement about a pivot axis between a lowered position in which the seat and lid cover a top opening of the bowl and a raised position in which the seat and lid uncover the bowl top opening. Hinge brackets on the seat and lid are pivotally attachable to the rod. The rod and actuating assembly are mounted to the mounting assembly for sliding movement relative thereto between locking and unlocking positions along the pivotal axis of the seat and lid. The rod has a pair of radial pins mounted thereon adjacent to selected ones of the seat and lid hinge brackets.
