Abstract

A toilet seat elevator assembly includes a seat elevator and a bracket for removably connecting the seat elevator to a toilet bowl. The seat elevator has a support portion for resting on the toilet bowl and a mounting portion that extends rearwardly of the support portion. The mounting portion has at least one mounting projection that extends inwardly. The bracket includes a bottom wall that is adapted for securement to the toilet bowl and spaced bracket side walls extending upwardly from the bottom wall. Each bracket side wall has forward and rear edges that extend upwardly from the bottom wall and an elongate slot that extends within each bracket side wall between the forward and rear edges. Each elongate slot is adapted for slidably receiving the at least one mounting projection of the mounting portion to adjust the seat elevator between a retracted position and an extended position to accommodate various configurations of respective toilet bowls.
