Abstract

Weight balancer for toilet seat is to be installed onto toilet seat to keep toilet seat open by the mechanism of seesaw to prevent it from being dirtied by urine. Toilet seat can be opened or closed by an implemental pusher instead of using hand to touch the bacteria contaminated toilet seat to open or close it.

Description

THE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A man has to lift the toilet seat to urinate to prevent toilet seat from being dirtied by urine. A Weight balancer for toilet seat can keep the toilet seat open in a upright position by an added a weight behind it through attached levers because of the mechanism of seesaw. Toilet seat can be closed or opened easily by an implemental pusher to keep hand from touching bacteria contaminated toilet seat.

THE BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The weigh balancer for toilet seat is an apparatus designed to provide balanced weigh before and after toilet seat hinge. Once the weigh before and after toilet seat hinge is balanced toilet seat can be opened to stay at upright position or closed to stay at closure position through the change of weight balance by adding the weight of an implemental pusher to place before or after the hinge of toilet seat.

THE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Referring now in detail to the drawings numeral 11 of FIG. 1 is a weight balancer for toilet seat. Numeral 12 of FIG. 2 is the U-shaped lever. Numeral 13 of FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 is the heavy front metal plate. Numeral 14 of FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 is the central hook of the heavy front metal plate 13. Numeral 15 of FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 is the middle fenestrated segment of U-shaped lever 12. Numeral 16 of FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 is elongated bolt slot. Numeral 17 of FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 is the rear threaded end of U-shaped lever 12. Numeral 18 of FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 is a nut. Numeral 19 of FIG. 2 is threaded canal of nut 18. Threaded canal 19 can screw onto rear threaded end 17. Numeral 20 of FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 is weigh. Numeral 21 of FIG. 2 is central threaded canal of weigh 20. Central threaded canal 21 can screw on to rear threaded end 17. Numeral 22 of FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 is narrow horizontal anchor plate. Numeral 23 of FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 is vertical rod. Numeral 24 of FIG. 2 is threaded canal of vertical rod 23. Numeral 25 of FIG. 2 is bolt. Bolt 25 of FIG. 2 can pass through easily the elongated bolt slot 16 of FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 to screw into threaded canal 24 to fasten narrow horizontal anchor plate 22 onto U-shaped lever 12. Numeral 26 of FIG. 3 is toilet seat. Numeral 27 of FIG. 3 is the rear portion of toilet seat 26. Numeral 28 of FIG. 3 is the hinge of toilet seat 26. Numeral 29 of Fig. 3 is the gap in between the hinge 28 and rear portion of toilet seat 27. Gap 29 can admit snuggly the narrow horizontal anchor plate 22 of FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3. The first step to install the weight balancer for toilet seat 11 onto toilet seat 26 is to hook to central hook 14 onto rear portion of toilet seat 27 as illustrated in FIG. 3. The second step is to place narrow horizontal anchor plate 22 into the gap 29 and to rest vertical rod 23 on the middle fenestrated segment 15. The third step is to insert bolt 25 through the elongated bolt slot 16 from below to screw into threaded canal 24 to fasten U-shaped lever 12 onto toilet seat 26. The fourth step is to screw weigh 20 onto rear threaded end 17. The fifth step is to rotate weigh 20 forward and backward on the threaded end 17 to find the balance point where toilet seat 26 can be opened to upright position. The sixth step is to screw nut 18 onto the rear threaded end 17 to fix weight 20 on U-shaped lever 12. When weight 20 is fixed at this balance point toilet seat 26 can stay at open upright position. But when toilet seat 26 is pushed down to rest on toilet the heavy front metal plate 13 becomes far away from hinge 28 and its horizontal leverage arm elongates to increase the leverage ratio to keep toilet seat 26 close. When toilet seat 26 is raised to open the heavy front metal plate 13 is also raised to be closer to hinge 28 and shortens its horizontal leverage arm, therefore its leverage ratio decrease to keep toilet seat 26 at upright position. Numeral 30 of FIG. 4 is an implemental pusher. Numeral 31 of FIG. 4 is the handle. Numeral 32 of FIG. 4 is stopper. Numeral 33 of FIG. 4 is point. Point 33 can insert easily and loosely into elongated bolt slot 16. One can use implemental pusher to insert point 33 into the elongated bolt slot 16 before vertical slot 23 to push it down to close toilet seat 26. One can also use implemental pusher to insert point 33 into the elongated bolt slot 16 after vertical rod 23 and behind toilet hinge 28 to push it down to open toilet seat 26. After the weight balancer is installed onto toilet seat it can keep toilet seat open at upright position once it is opened and at closure position once it is closed.
