Abstract

Destiné à être utilisé avec des toilettes comportant une cuvette (12) et un couvercle (18) monté de manière à pivoter entre une position fermée de couverture de la cuvette et une position ouverte après pivotage de 90° approximativement par rapport à ladite cuvette, un appareil (10) de fermeture automatique du couvercle comprend un mécanisme de commande (52) qui s'emboîte dans le couvercle pour bloquer ce dernier en position d'ouverture lorsque ledit couvercle pivote vers la position d'ouverture et un mécanisme de minuterie (53) servant à actionner le mécanisme de commande de manière à permettre au couvercle de quitter la position d'ouverture après l'écoulement d'un laps de temps prédéterminé. Lorsque les toilettes comportent un siège (17) monté pivotant sur la cuvette, entre ladite cuvette et le couvercle, et qui peut pivoter depuis une position de fermeture à l'arrêt au-dessus de la cuvette, un système de suspension de la minuterie (130) suspend temporairement le fonctionnement de la minuterie pendant qu'au moins un poids prédéterminé fait pression sur le siège en position de fermeture.
