Abstract
A protruding lever is releasably attached to a conventional flush-tank pivoted flush handle, extending toward a locus of the user's convenient arm flexure. The user is thereby enabled to actuate the flush lever without contortion from conventional seated position. The invention swings away from the user when inadvertently contacted, while retaining rigidity in the direction of flush actuation. An elbow-conformal recess facilitates confortable actuation by the user's elbow. The invention is releasably clamped to and wholly supported by the conventional flush handle.

A toilet aid for improved actuation of a conventional flush-tank pivoted flush handle, said flush handle having a handle actuation end downwardly actuable by rotation of said flush handle in a plane parallel a conventionally seated user's torso, said rotation about a pivot axis adjacent an arm of said conventionally seated user, said arm defining an uncontorted flexure locus, said toilet aid comprising:
- lever means extending from an attachment end adjacent said handle actuation end to a lever actuation end, said lever actuation end bounded by said uncontorted flexure locus;
- and
