Abstract:
1. A toilet seat system consisting of: (a) a lift arm housing, wherein the lift arm housing is triangular in shape consisting of a horizontal bottom panel, a vertical back panel, two side panels, and a curved hypotenuse panel, wherein a slot is disposed in the hypotenuse panel of the lift arm housing; (b) a rotation lever pivotally attached in an inner cavity of the lift arm housing; (c) a lift arm consisting of a first end and a second end, the first end of the lift arm is attached to the rotation lever and the second end of the lift arm extends outwardly from the slot of the lift arm housing, the lift arm is for securing to a bottom surface of a toilet seat; (d) a top mounting bracket and a bottom mounting bracket for together mounting the lift arm housing to either a first side or a second side of a toilet, wherein each mounting bracket consists of a first end for attaching to a side wall of the lift arm housing and a second end with an indentation adapted to snugly wrap around standard lid screws of the toilet; (e) a motor operatively connected to the rotation lever, the motor is adapted to pivot the rotation lever and lift arm together upwardly and downwardly between at least a horizontal position and a vertical position; (f) a power source operatively connected to at least the motor; (g) a microprocessor operatively connected to the motor; and (h) a sensor disposed on the lift arm housing operatively connected to the microprocessor, the sensor is activated only when an individual lifts the toilet seat and thus lifts the rotation lever and lift arm to the vertical position, wherein the microprocessor is configured to receive an input signal from the sensor when the sensor is activated whereupon the microprocessor generates an output command to cause the motor to move the rotation lever and lift arm to the horizontal position after a time delay.
