The toilet seat that has installed this device is at upright position all the time and can be pushed down by hand and it will spring back upward spontaneously to upright position once the external force of downward pushing is released.

THE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0003]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of part of lift apparatus for toilet seat.

[0004]FIG. 2 is a perspective view of parts of lift apparatus for toilet seat.

[0005]FIG. 3 is a perspective view of lift apparatus for toilet seat installed on toilet.

[0006]FIG. 4 is a perspective view of lift apparatus for toilet seat and a dissection view of the enclosed section of toilet seat.

THE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007]Referring now in detail to the drawings numeral 10 of FIG. 1 is a lift apparatus for toilet seat. Lift apparatus for toilet seat 10 is installed at the rear end 11 of toilet seat 12 as illustrated in FIG. 3. Numeral 13 of FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 4 is a spring plate of lift apparatus 10. Spring plate 13 has a hook 14, a small plate supporter 15 and a plate stand 16. Hook 14 hooks on the rear end 11 of toilet seat 12. Small plate supporter 15 rests on the top 17 of toilet 18 to prevent toilet seat 12 from overturning backward. Plate stand 16 of lift apparatus 10 rests on the top 17 of toilet 18 to keep toilet seat 12 at upward position. Numeral 19 of FIGS. 1 and 2 is a block-fastener of lift apparatus 10. Spring plate 13 and block fastener 19 enclose the rear end 11 of toilet seat 12 as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4. Numeral 20 of FIG. 4 is the dissection view of the enclosed rear end 11 of toilet seat 12. Numeral 21 of FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 4 is a screw. Numeral 22 of FIG. 2 is hole to allow screw 21 to pass through. Numeral 23 is hole on block-fastener 19. Numeral 24 of FIGS. 1, 2 and 4 is side-wing of block-fastener 19. Screw 21 passes hole 22 and screws into hole 23 to fasten lift apparatus for toilet seat 10 onto rear end 11 of toilet seat 12. When toilet seat 12 is pushed downward the lift apparatus for toilet seat 10 bends at the middle portion 25 to let toilet seat 12 rest on top 17 of toilet 18. When the external force of downward pushing that applies to toilet seat 12 is released the middle portion 25 of lift apparatus for toilet seat 10 springs back upward spontaneously to lift toilet seat 12 to upright position.
