Abstract: A toilet having enhanced cleaning features includes a drain surface positioned behind a rear edge of a toilet bowl opening, which is sloped to direct the flow of liquid waste captured therein back into the toilet bowl. The toilet may also include a seat and lid having arms that are pivotably attached to the toilet, which are spaced so that they are laterally positioned to the outside of at least a portion of a deck surface when the seat and lid are resting thereupon. Additionally, the toilet seat and lid may pivot about an axis that is positioned behind the bowl opening and a proximate to a flushwater inlet of the toilet. Thus, such features of the toilet allow the seat and lid to be positioned so that the deck surface, as well as the drain surface, can be readily accessed and cleaned.

Abstract: A handle mechanism for lifting a toilet seat and its cover. The handle mechanism is affixed to the toilet seat cover, and selectively engages the toilet seat to lift the cover and the seat individually or together. Because the handle mechanism is affixed to the front of the cover, when the toilet is being used, with the seat up or down, the handle mechanism is well away from the toilet, such that the handle mechanism remains clean and sanitary.

Abstract: The toilet foot flushing apparatus quickly converts a hand-flushed toilet to a foot-flushed toilet, without the need of tools. The included lever of the apparatus replaces the existing toilet lever, by hand. The pedal is about 1 foot in length, thereby providing sufficient leverage to the lever via the cable. The lever is attached to flush mechanism on the exterior of an existing toilet reservoir. The spring-loaded pedal returns to a position slightly above the base when released, thereby releasing lever pressure. The geared pedal to base action provides sturdy long-lived flush function. The apparatus does not require any form of floor invasion, as the base need not be mounted to the floor. The cable retainer provides length adjustment for the cable so that a plurality of toilet reservoirs and flush mechanisms can be successfully converted to foot flush.

Abstract: The toilet seat lifting apparatus lifts a toilet seat with a user's foot. The apparatus is omnidirectional, so it can be easily reversed to operate on either side of a toilet. Almost any toilet is fitted, without modification. The base does not require mounting but instead is rested upon a surface adjacent to a toilet. The semicircular base importantly covers the pivot pedestal and the pivotally attached lever, so that splash is not a concern, yet the removable side cover allows maintenance, such as lubrication. As the hinge rod and seat arm are of relatively small diameter, and as both are adjacent to the back of the seat, less obtrusive appearance is a benefit, as is avoidance of urine stream incursion.

Abstract: A mechanism (100) for lifting and lowering a toilet seat (102) is activated by foot pressure pushing down on a pedal (104). The mechanism includes an off-floor pivot fixed in space for converting the pressure into a torque applied to hinge (113, 114) supporting the seat. The mechanism does not touch the floor. Instead a reaction arm which is one support for the fixed pivot presses against a wall (120) behind the toilet bowl. An element for retarding the speed of the seat as it falls is optionally included.

Abstract: An automatically flushing toilet in which an extension arm is attached to a horizontal bar to which the toilet seat is attached. When the toilet seat is raised, one end of the extension arm moves downward, causing a rod on the end of the inner tube of a telescoping member located primarily inside the tank compartment of the toilet to move so that it is positioned atop a pivoting member located inside a cut-out on the same end of the extension arm. When the toilet seat is then closed, the one end of the extension arm moves upward, pushing the pivoting member against the rod and causing the rod to force the inner tube of the telescoping member upward. The inner tube is pivotally connected to a trip lever, which causes the toilet to flush.

Abstract: An apparatus and method to assure that the lid of a toilet is always in the down position when the toilet is flushed. This will prevent the toilet lid being left in an open position. The apparatus comprises a mechanism for connecting the toilet lid to the flushing mechanism of a toilet so that the toilet lid must be in the down position for the toilet to be flushed.

Abstract: A toilet bowl has a front end, a rear end and sides. A toilet seat has a bore. The bore extends through the toilet seat from side to side. A base plate on the toilet bowl has a forward, rearward and a central bearing. An input shaft on the rearward bearing has a first gear, a second gear and an intermediate slip clutch. An output shaft on the forward bearing extends through the cylindrical bore. A third gear and a lifting arm are coupled to the toilet seat. An intermediate shaft on the central bearing has a fourth gear in contact with the second and third gears. A motor with a pinion is coupled to the first gear. A switch actuates the motor.

Abstract: The seat lifter is for lifting a toilet seat. The seat lifter includes a foot pedal, cables, pulleys, a base, spring hinge, lifting arm, cable blocks, and a counter weight. The hinge holds the base down on to the toilet with its mounting hardware. The whole mechanism is held to the toilet by the toilet seat mounting holes in the toilet bowl. The seat is always in the down position until the foot pedal is depressed. Once the foot pedal is depressed a cable is pulled against the cable block then a small diameter pulley is rotated on a shaft that is pinned to a larger diameter pulley (this pulley assembly is called a reduction spool because it takes a small movement of the foot pedal to make a large enough movement to raise the seat to the proper height). The larger pulley then pulls a longer cable, that pulls a cable block mounted to a lifting arm with a counter weight, which pulls the arm down, that in turn moves a spring hinge attached to the seat. The seat is now in the lifted position.
