Abstract: An improvement for a toilet furniture that includes a seat and a cover hingedly mounted thereon. A latching mechanism housed within the underside of the cover and in cooperative alignment with the inner rim of the seat opening from its underside. A latch member engages the cover and seat assembly when both are in the horizontal position while releasing them when in the vertical position. The latch member includes a J-shape member that is cammingly pushed inwardly when the cover is brought to a substantially horizontal position. Once the end of the J-shape member clears the inner rim, it engages the toilet seat and the only way the cover can be raised is by bringing along the toilet seat.
