Abstract
A toilet seat elevator assembly includes a mounting bracket for connection to a toilet bowl and a seat elevator removably connected to the mounting bracket. The seat elevator has a generally ring-shaped portion for resting on the toilet bowl and a mounting portion with opposing mounting projections. The mounting bracket has a pair of opposing side panels and an elongate slot formed in each side panel. Each elongate slot is adapted for slidably and rotatably receiving the mounting projections of the mounting portion, so that the seat elevator may be slidably and rotatably mounted to the bracket to facilitate installation, adjustment and removal of the seat elevator with respect to the toilet bowl.
Claims23
A toilet seat elevator assembly comprising:
- a seat elevator having a generally ring-shaped portion for resting on a toilet bowl and a mounting portion extending rearwardly of the ring-shaped portion, the mounting portion having opposing mounting projections;
- and
- a bracket including a bottom wall adapted for securement to the toilet bowl and spaced side panels extending upwardly from the bottom wall, each said side panel having forward and rear edges extending upwardly from the bottom wall and an upper edge extending between the forward and rear edges, and an elongate slot extending within each said side panel between the forward and rear edges, whereby each said elongate slot is adapted for slidably and rotatably receiving the mounting projections of the mounting portion, to thereby facilitate adjustment and removal of the seat elevator with respect to the toilet bowl, the seat elevator being slidably and rotatably mounted to the bracket.
A toilet seat elevator assembly comprising:

- and
- a bracket including:
- a bottom wall adapted for securement to the toilet bowl;
- spaced side panels extending upwardly from the bottom wall, each side panel having forward and rear edges extending upwardly from the bottom wall and an upper edge extending between the forward and rear edges, each side panel including:
- an elongate slot extending from a first slot position proximal the upper and forward edges to a second slot position proximal the rear edge and bottom wall;
- a first slot segment extending from the upper edge to the elongate slot for receiving one of the mounting projections during installation of the mounting portion of the seat elevator on the bracket;
- and
- a second slot segment spaced rearwardly of the first slot segment, the second slot segment extending toward the upper edge from the elongate slot, each mounting projection being positioned in its respective second slot segment when the toilet seat elevator is in a lowered position on the toilet bowl to thereby secure the seat elevator against sliding movement along the elongate slot when in use.
