The actuating portion 10 extends beyond the rear ward edge of the toilet bowl when the toilet seat 4 is mounted for use The seat actuating portion 10 is arranged and configured to be coupled to actuating means 16 for applying a linear force so as to cause pivotal movement of the seat 4 relative to the toilet bowl. The toilet seat 4 has a lid portion 2 and an actuating portion 8 coupled to the lid portion 2. The actuating portion 8 also extends beyond the rear ward edge of the toilet bowl when mounted for use relative to the toilet bowl. The lid actuating portion 8 is arranged and configured to be coupled to actuating means 16 for applying a linear force so as to cause pivotal movement of the seat relative to the toilet bowl. The actuating means 16 is preferably a flexible elongate member channeled through a rigid hollow pipe 18 and may be wound around a rod. The rod may be connected to a motor that causes rotation of the rod which winds the flexible elongate member thus lifting the seat. The motor is preferably operated by switch 20. |
