Toilet seat with built-in lift apparatus
Toilet seat with built-in lift apparatus comprises a toilet seat that has built-in long pivot-rod whose each end has installed a small gear, a U-shaped lever whose each end has installed a large gear each and a reverse U-shaped plate fastener that has two side-wings. The U-shaped lever is fastened onto side-wings of U-shaped plate fastener. The toilet seat and the plate fastener are fastened onto toilet with a pair of bolts. Both small gears and large gears catch snugly each other. When large gears rotate clockwise small gears rotate counter clockwise and vice versa. Man steps downward the U-shaped lever to lift toilet seat and releases slowly U-shaped lever to lower toilet seat.
Man has to lift toilet seat with hand before urination to prevent toilet seat from wet. The present invented toilet seat with a built-in lift apparatus allows man to step on it to lift toilet seat with foot instead of hand. Man also can releases it slowly to lower the toilet seat.
