1. A toilet seat assembly having a user operated cleaning feature comprising:
a toilet seat defined by a body having a central opening formed therein, the body including a top surface; a toilet seat cover that is pivotally attached to the toilet seat and movable between open and closed positions, the toilet seat cover having a bottom surface that faces the toilet seat in the closed position and an opposing top surface; and a cleaning mechanism that is disposed within the toilet seat cover, the mechanism including:
a plurality of discharge ports formed within the toilet seat cover and being open along the bottom surface of the toilet seat cover;a manually operated actuator that is accessible along one surface of the toilet seat cover;a reservoir for containing a sanitizing agent, the actuator being operably coupled to the reservoir and operable to drive the sanitizing agent from the reservoir and out of the discharge ports so as to allow sanitizing agent to be delivered to the top surface of the toilet seat when the actuator is operated with the seat cover in the closed position;wherein the actuator comprises a hollow compressible member that includes an air inlet open to atmosphere, the actuator being disposed within an inlet conduit that opens into the reservoir, wherein the actuator is accessible along the top surface of the toilet seat cover such that a user can directly contact the hollow compressible member and apply a force to cause the compressible member to collapse; anda one way valve that is spaced from the compressible member and is disposed within the inlet conduit below the compressible member and upstream of the reservoir, the one way valve opening in a first direction towards the reservoir to permit air to flow through the inlet conduit into the reservoir. |
