Child-Proof Toilet Handle Lock

A toilet handle lock device for selectively preventing a handle of a toilet from moving in a flushing motion comprising:

• a housing including a front part and a rear part having a rear surface for attachment to a tank of the toilet, the rear part including a spring retainer,
• a biased lock member at least partially disposed within the housing between the front and rear parts, the biased lock member being biased by a spring in which one end thereof is received in the spring retainer and another end thereof is coupled to the biased lock member, the biased lock member being configured to slidingly travel within the housing in a linear direction between an extended locked position in which the biased lock member is positioned for blocking the handle of toilet and preventing the handle from undergoing a downward flushing motion and a retracted unlocked position in which the biased lock member is spaced from the handle of the toilet;
• and
• an actuator for releasing the biased lock member from the extended locked position and permitting the biased lock member to move to the retracted unlocked position resulting in compression of the spring which generates a return force such that when the actuator is released, the spring releases stored energy and automatically drive the biased lock member to the extended locked position.
