For use with a toilet having a toilet bowl (12) and a lid (18) mounted to pivot between a closed position covering the bowl and an open position pivoted approximately 90 DEG from the bowl, an apparatus (10) for automatically closing the lid includes a control mechanism (52) engageable with the lid for locking the lid in the open position when the lid is pivoted to the open position and a timer mechanism (53) for actuating the control mechanism to release the lid from the open position after the passage of a predetermined time. Where the toilet includes a toilet seat (17) pivotally mounted to the toilet bowl between the bowl and the lid and is pivotable from a closed position resting atop the bowl, a timer suspension system (130) temporarily suspends operation of the timer mechanism while at least a predetermined weight is applied to the seat in the closed position. |
