  • Patent number: 9701477
    Abstract: Described is a tool for lifting a toilet. The tool features a handle insertable into the toilet bowl in a position placing opposing ends of the handle beneath the toilet bowl rim at opposing sides of the toilet bowl, such that lifting of the handle acts to lift up the toilet via the toilet bowl rim. In some embodiments, the handle is longitudinally extendable and collapsible between an extended position and a collapsed position to aid in placement of the handle into the lifting position, and is spring-biased into the extended position to prevent inadvertent collapse of the handle while lifting or transporting the toilet. Other embodiments include a fixed-length disposable handle secured to the toilet by tie members engaged through toilet-seat mounting holes therein.
