Description

BIDET OR TOILET, SEAT OR LID, HANDLE AND SPOTTER
The present invention relates to a new and useful improvement in handling and seeing the position of commode seats and
lids. By allowing one finger to move a toilet seat or lid
this invention improves on prior art, eliminating the need for
more than one finger to mover either part of the commode to the up or down position in which the seat or lid rests. Modern day viral transmissions being potentially lethal, the least amount skin contact with commode parts is especially apparent. This
invention being novel in the idea of seat or lid application,
also demonstrates novelty by incorporating a glow-in-the-dark
spotting capability by using proper structural material, (non)disposable
Figure 1 is a view of a commode equipped with present invention designated by numeral 1.
Figure 2 is a top view of present invention with shaded area representing open space.
Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of Figure 2.
A detailed description now refers to Figure 1 with numeral
1 designated as the device attached 1 means of self-adhesives to commode lid (2) and commode seat (3) Present invention having plastic or paperorclothqualities of construction with glow-in-dark material for ease of spotting in ill-lit areas.
