Description:

THE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001]Man has to lift toilet seat with hand before urinating to prevent toilet seat from being wet by urine. The present invented spring wire lift apparatus for toilet seat keeps toilet seat upright all the time therefore man does not have to lift toilet seat before urinating. People can push downward the toilet seat that has installed spring lift apparatus for toilet seat to sit on it. Once the external force of downward pushing is released spring wire lift apparatus for toilet seat will spring upward spontaneously to bring toilet seat back to upright position.

THE BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0002]Spring wire lift apparatus for toilet seat is made of spring. It is a simple device and it is easy to install it onto toilet seat. The toilet seat that has installed this device is at upright or near upright position all the time. This toilet seat can be pushed down by hand and it will spring back upward spontaneously to upright or near upright position once the external force of downward pushing is released.

THE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0003]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of part of spring wire lift apparatus for toilet seat.

[0004]FIG. 2 is a perspective view of spring wire lift apparatus for toilet seat installed on toilet.

[0005]FIG. 3 is a perspective view of spring wire lift apparatus for toilet seat and a dissection view of the enclosed section of toilet seat.

THE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0006]Referring now in detail to the drawings numeral 10 of FIG. 1 is a spring wire lift apparatus for toilet seat. Spring wire lift apparatus for toilet seat 10 is installed at the rear end 11 of toilet seat 12 as illustrated in FIG. 2. Numeral 13 of FIGS. 1 and 3 is spring coil of spring wire lift apparatus 10. Numeral 14 of FIGS. 1 and 2 is pivot rod. Numeral 15 of FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 is spring wire supporter that rests on top 16 of toilet 17. Numeral 18 of FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 is wire rack. Wire rack 18 encloses a section 19 at rear end 11 of toilet seat 12. Numeral 20 of FIG. 3 is a dissection view of toilet seat that is enclosed by wire rack 18. When people push down toilet seat 12 that has installed spring wire lift apparatus for toilet seat 10 spring coils 13 are wound tight, once the force of pushing down is released spring coils 13 spring back spontaneously to lift toilet seat 12 back to upright or near upright position.
