Abstract
An easily removable and replaceable toilet seat lid and hinge assembly. When it becomes necessary to clean the top of the toilet, toilet seat, and lid, the toilet seat and lid may be readily removed without having to remove the bolts which hold the seat on the toilet. Instead, male and female clip members hold the seat to the toilet and may be readily snapped in and out of attachment to remove or replace the toilet seat.
