Abstract:
1. A toilet seat raising mechanism comprising; an input line for connection with a water supply line under pressure; a seat actuator adapted for moving a toilet seat between a lowered position and a raised position in response to changes in the pressure, wherein the seat actuator places the toilet seat in the lowered position when the pressure is at a first pressure level and the seat actuator places the toilet seat in the raised position when the pressure is at a second pressure level; a first control for causing a first change in the pressure in the seat actuator from a first pressure level to a second pressure level in response to a first activation input; a second control operating in response to a second input to selectively place the input line in communication with a drain and thereby causing a second change in the pressure from the second pressure level towards the first pressure level; and a flush actuator for flushing a toilet in response to an operation of the second control.
