Abstract:
Toilet cover assembly comprising a seat (1) and a cover (2) which adjacent their respective rearmost edges are interconnected by means of two interspaced hinges (5) having horizontal axes, each hinge (5) comprising a seat hinge eye member (6) and an adjacent cover hinge eye member (7), a hinge bushing (9) having an outer bearing surface (8), on which the seat hinge eye member (6) and the cover hinge eye member (7) are rotatably arranged, and a first outer, radially extending projection (28) abutting an edge face (29) of the seat hinge eye member and/or of the cover hinge eye member, said toilet cover assembly further comprising a mounting member (11) provided with fastening means for fastening thereof on a toilet bowl (2) and a freely projecting hinge pin (10) having a circumferential recess (41) accommodating an inner, radially inwardly extending projection (34) on the bushing (9),characterised in that the bushing (9) is resilient in the portion at the inner projection (34) and that the radial dimension of the inner projection (34), the dimension of the bearing surface (8) at least in the portion at the inner projection (34) and the inner diameter of the hinge eye members (6,7) are adapted such in relation to one another that the inner projection may be brought into and out of engagement with the recess (41) of the hinge pin (10) by insertion of the pin (10) into the bushing (9) and removal of the pin (10) from the bushing (9), when the hinge eye members (6,7) are accommodated on the bearing face (8) of the bushing, and that the bushing (9) is resilient in the portion at the outer projection (28) such that this portion may be led through the eye members (6,7) when said eye members are to be received on the bearing face (8) before the hinge pin (10) is inserted into the bushing (9).
