A seat-lifting device (10) according to the present invention features a toilet seat (12), a motor (14), a drive mechanism (40) and seat lift linkage (30). The seat lift linkage (30) is operably interconnected to the motor (14) by the drive mechanism (40) and also is interconnected to the toilet seat (12). In this way, motion of the motor (14) in a first direction causes the seat lift linkage (30) to move the toilet seat (14) a seated position to an elevated position. Correspondingly, motion of the motor (14) in a reverse direction causes the toilet seat (12) to move from the second position to the first position. More particularly, the seat-lifting device includes a support frame (20), that supports each of the motor (14), toilet seat (12), drive mechanism (40) and seat lift linkage (30) and more specifically pivotably supports the toilet seat the motion of the motor in either direction causes the toilet seat to pivot or rotate about a portion of the support frame.
