Abstract

A toilet seat assembly comprises a toilet seat, lid and fittings such that, in use, the seat and lid may be removably attached to a toilet pan by means of a lockable base clamp. Preferably, the clamp is attached to the pan and incorporates a plurality of shoulders which mate with a plurality of cams on the seat and lid. Unlike the conventional arrangement, this assembly provides for easy removal of the seat and lid e.g. for cleaning.

Description

DESCRIPTION
Toilet seat hinge and fixings This Invention relates to an easily removable base clamp to hold a toilet seat and lid to the pan The difficulty in re-fitting toilet seats dissuades many people from removing them for sanitizing, with that and the hinges continually loosening and finally falling apart, the only option seems to buy a new seat complete.
According to the present Invention there is provided an easily removable base clamp to secure the seat and lid to the Toilet Pan.
The seat (fig 2) is securely held by several cams. These interlock with corresponding shoulders on the base plate clamp (fig3) The base plate clamp has two serrated slots with grooves above to lock the anchor bolts (fig 4) The anchor bolts (fig 4) have grooves under the rectangular heads to mate with the grooves in the base plate clamp (fig3) Base plate clamp has notches to receive a Cover (fig 5) for the anchor bolts (fig 4) and a recess either end for attachment of the Lid (fig6) The Lid (fig6) has fixing pins at rear corners so that when it is closed the fixings are hidden The seat underside (fig 2) has an inward chamfer to fit snugly on the pan.
Fig 1 shows the seat, clamp, lid and cover.
Fig 2 shows the cams and chamfer on seat.
