Disposable toilet seat lift apparatus

Abstract

A toilet seat lift apparatus with sanitary features including removability and metal mixtures having high microbicidal activity either coated onto its surface or incorporated into the material from which it is fabricated. The handle attaches to the underside of a toilet seat and extends beyond the outer edge of the seat, thereby providing a means to lift the seat without direct manual contact with the seat. The gripping portion of the handle may include or ring or other gripping member to facilitate easy handling. The handle is attached to the underside of the toilet seat by hook-and-loop adhesive strips, thereby allowing the handle to be periodically removed, washed, and replaced, or simply discarded. The antimicrobial material incorporated into or coated onto the handle enhances sanitation between periodic washings.
