  • Device for lowering toilet seats
    Patent number: 4839928
    Abstract: A first embodiment of a toilet seat lowering device is provided for coupling to the toilet handle of a toilet system to lower a vertically positioned toilet seat. The device consists of a tubular member which is positioned over the handle of the toilet system and a spaced wedge member for sliding between the toilet lid and seat. The sleeve and wedge member are connected together by a wire member.

In a second embodiment of the invention, the toilet lowering device consists of a pair of holding members for holding the toilet lid and a wedge for causing a vertically positioned toilet seat to be lowered when the toilet handle is operated. A plastic connector connects the toilet handle to the toilet lowering device.
