  • Hydraulic toilet seat
    Patent number: 5063617
    Abstract: An hydraulic toilet seat assembly utilizes available household water pressure to lift, elevate and lower a toilet seat so as to facilitate mounting and dismounting by a person who is disabled or infirm. As the seat rises it assumes a forwardly pitched orientation to further facilitate use. A positive displacement fluid divider unit delivers to hydraulic motors appropriate volumes of water to drive motor pistons through different distances, so as to produce the desired seat inclination.
