Abstract
A quick fitting toilet seat fixing includes a tight fitting expandable sleeve with a larger shaped top section to suite the toilet seat assembly, a tapered hole through the middle, that is pushed down into the holes at the back of the toilet bowl, and a tapered shaft with a threaded end that screw into the toilet seat assembly. The tapered shaft is then pushed inside the expandable sleeve so that the tapered sides of the expandable sleeve are placed under a lateral pressure resulting in a tight fixing. The bottom of the tapered shaft will protrude through the sleeve when it is fully fitted, this will allow the tapered shaft to be pushed vertically upward thus releasing the lateral pressure so the fixing can be removed.
