In an effort to avoid touching a toilet seat in a public restroom many men use their foot to raise the toilet seat. Many men do not even bother to lift the seat. This invariably results in the seat becoming wet, which is quite offensive for parties who must use the seat later. In the home it is desirable to have a toilet seat lifter available for use when company comes, and to maintain a high degree of cleanliness when the bathroom is used by both sexes. This is particularly true when there are children in the family. I have devised a readily operable toilet seat lifting device that can be elevated merely by stepping on a lever connected to the seat, and holding the lever in the depressed position during the time they are utilizing the facility. When the foot is released from the lever the seat returns to the horizontal position. When the device is in use both feet can be comfortably placed on the floor, and it is not necessary to have one foot elevated above the other. When the participant releases the foot pedal the seat lowers to the horizontal position, an air cylinder being provided to cushion the downward movement of the seat. If desired a linkage can be provided to close the toilet cover when the seat is lowered.
