Abstract
An apparatus to keep toilet seat at upright position consists of a toilet seat griper, a lever which is fastened onto toilet seat griper at right angle and a heavy weight which can turn forward or backward on lever. An apparatus to keep toilet seat at upright position can be installed onto a toilet seat to keep it at upright position by the mechanism of seesaw and the toilet seat can be pushed to horizontal position by hand. This apparatus to keep toilet seat at upright position can prevent toilet seat from getting wet by urine when man urinates.
Description
THE BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

Man has to raise toilet seat to urinate to prevent toilet seat from getting wet by urine. The apparatus to keep toilet seat at upright position keeps toilet seat at upright position all the time and toilet seat can be pushed down to horizontal position by hand.


THE BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Apparatus to keep toilet seat at upright position is a device of leverage to keep toilet seat at upright position by the mechanism of seesaw. It can be attached onto a toilet seat to convert it to an automatically upright lifted toilet seat.





THE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION


FIG. 1 is a perspective view of apparatus to keep toilet seat at upright position.



FIG. 2 is a perspective view of parts of apparatus to keep toilet seat at upright position.



FIG. 3 is a perspective view of apparatus to keep toilet seat at upright position which is attached onto a toilet seat and be pushed down to horizontal position.





Referring now in detail to the drawings numeral 10 is an apparatus to keep toilet seat at upright position. Numeral 11 of FIG.s 1, 2 and 3 is top grasp plate. Numeral 12 of FIG.s 1, 2 and 3 is ring of hinge. Numeral 13 of FIG. 2 is canal of ring of hinge 12 of FIG. 2. Numeral 14 of FIG. 2 is top canal for bolt. Numeral 15 of FIG.s 1, 2 and 3 is bottom grasp plate. Numeral 16 of FIG.s 1, 2 and 3 is ring of hinge. Numeral 17 of FIG. 2 is canal of ring of hinge 16 of FIG. 2. Numeral 18 of FIG. 2 is bottom canal for bolt. Numeral 19 of FIG.s 1, 2 and 3 is bolt. Bolt 19 of FIG.s 1, 2 and 3 can pass through top canal for bolt 14 and bottom canal for bolt 18 of FIG. 2. Numeral 20 of FIG.s 1, 2 and 3 is wing-shaped nut. Numeral 21 of FIG.s 1, 2 and 3 is nut. Numeral 22 of FIG.s 1, 2 and 3 is lever rod. Numeral 23 of FIG.s 1, 2 and 3 is front threaded end of lever rod 22. Numeral 24 of FIG.s 1, 2 and 3 is rear threaded end of lever rod 22. Numeral 25 of FIG.s 1, 2 and 3 is cylindrical weight. Numeral 26 of FIG. 2 is canal with central thread of cylindrical weight 25 of FIG. 2. Canal with central thread 26 of FIG. 2 can screw onto rear threaded end 24 of lever rod 22 of FIG. 2. Front threaded end 23 can pass through canal of ring of hinge 13 of FIG. 2 and canal of ring of hinge 17 of FIG. 2. Numeral 27 of FIG. 3 is toilet. Numeral 28 of FIG. 3 is toilet seat. Numeral 29 of FIG. 3 is rear portion of toilet seat 28. The steps to assemble apparatus to keep toilet at upright position are as follows. First step is to bring together top grasp plate 11 of FIG. 2 and bottom grasp plate 15 of FIGS. 2 and aligns canal of ring of hinge 13 with canal of ring of hinge 17. Second step is to insert front threaded end 23 of FIG. 2 to pass through canal of ring of hinge 17, canal of ring of hinge 13, canal of ring of hinge 17 and canal of ring of hinge 13 and then to screw nut 21 of FIG. 2 onto front threaded end 23 of FIG. 2 to fasten top grasp plate 11 and bottom grasp plate 15 onto lever rod 22 to make a griper. Third step is to insert bolt 19 from bottom up into bottom canal for bolt 18 and top canal for bolt 14 and then to screw wing-shaped nut 20 onto bolt 19. Fourth step is to screw cylindrical weight 25 of FIG. 2 onto rear threaded end 24 of FIG. 2 to complete assemblage. Top grasp plate 11 of FIG.s 1, 2 and 3 and bottom grasp plate 15 of FIG.s 1, 2 and 3 make a griper. The steps to install apparatus to keep toilet seat at upright position 10 of FIG. 1 onto toilet 27 of FIG. 3 are as follows. First step is to open griper which is made of top grasp plate 11 of FIG. 1 and bottom grasp plate 15 of FIG. 1 and to insert this griper onto rear portion 29 of toilet seat 28 of FIG. 3 to grip it. Second step is to screw tight wing-shaped nut 20 onto bolt 19 of FIG. 3 to fasten apparatus on toilet seat at upright position 10 onto rear portion 29 of toilet seat 28 of FIG. 3. Third step is to turn cylindrical weight 25 of FIG. 3 forward or backward on rear threaded end 24 of FIG. 3 to a place where the leverage weight of cylindrical weight 25 is a more than that of toilet seat 28 to raise toilet 28 to upright position.

Claims
