Abstract

An automated toilet seat assembly includes a motorized actuation mechanism for raising and/or lowering a toilet seat. Independent spring arrangements are preferably deployed so as to independently counterbalance the seat and lid, thereby minimizing the load on the motor even when lifting both the seat and the lid together. Preferably, a clutch mechanism selectively disconnects the mechanism so as to allow manual lifting and lowering of the seat without rotation of the motor. One embodiment of the toilet seat assembly is preferably powered by batteries located in a housing in the lid of the assembly, thereby reducing the dimensions of the deployment mechanism associated with the seat.
