1. An apparatus for raising or lowering a toilet lid, said toilet lid having a weight, comprising:
a rotating mechanism comprising a motor; an axle, the axle rotated via the rotating mechanism; a bracket connected to the axle and contacting the toilet lid for interconnecting the axle with the toilet lid, the bracket pivoting on a pivot point via rotation of the axle thereby moving the toilet lid between a down position and an up position via rotation of the axle; a torsion spring interconnected with the axle, said torsion spring neutralizing the weight of the toilet lid so that the toilet lid may be placed in any position between an up position and a down position without movement due to gravity or bias caused by the torsion spring, said torsion spring further reducing the force required to pivot the bracket with the motor upwardly and downwardly when the bracket is attached to a toilet lid, said torsion spring adjustable to increase or decrease the tension of the torsion spring on the axle for neutralizing the weight of the toilet seat, no matter the weight of the toilet seat; and an elongated, flat base plate for mounting the apparatus to a toilet, the base plate further having apertures for receiving pivoting toilet lid mounts, the base plate positionable beneath the toilet lid, the toilet lid mounts mountable through the apertures.
