Toilet seat control system

Abstract

A toilet seat control system which includes a temperature controller that allows a user(s) to easily pre-set the temperature to keep the toilet seat comfortably warm no matter what the ambient temperature. An additional feature includes an adjustable timer which functions to automatically activate a seat lowering mechanism after a timed interval.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A toilet seat control system comprising: 
 a toilet bowl;    a toilet seat having an inner volume, a rear end and an outer surface;    said rear end of said toilet seat being hinged to said toilet bowel, whereby said toilet seat can be pivotally moved to a raised position and a lowered position and whereby said toilet seat abuts said toilet bowl in said lowered position;    first means for automatically lowering said toilet seat from said raised position after a pre-set time interval; and    second means for supplying an adjustable amount of heat to said inner volume of said toilet seat.    
     
     
         2 . A toilet seat control system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said first means includes an electronically activated lowering mechanism attached to said toilet seat at said rear end.  
     
     
         3 . A toilet seat control system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said first means includes an electronically activated lowering mechanism attached to said toilet seat at said rear end and a control unit for supplying electric power to activate said electronically operated lowering mechanism after said pre-set time interval has elapsed.  
     
     
         4 . A toilet seat control system as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said control unit includes an adjustable timer for determining said pre-set time interval.  
     
     
         5 . A toilet seat control system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said second means includes an array of electric heating coils disposed in said inner volume of said toilet seat.  
     
     
         6 . A toilet seat control system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said second means includes an array of electric heating coils disposed in said inner volume of said toilet seat and a control unit for supplying electric power to heat said heating coils.  
     
     
         7 . A toilet seat control system as recited in  claim 6 , wherein said control unit includes an adjustment member for varying the amount of electric power to said heating coils.  
     
     
         8 . A toilet seat control system comprising: 
 a toilet bowl;    a toilet seat having an inner volume, a rear end and an outer surface;    said rear end of said toilet seat being hinged to said toilet bowel, whereby said toilet seat can be pivotally moved to a raised position and a lowered position and whereby said toilet seat abuts said toilet bowl in said lowered position;    an electronically activated lowering mechanism attached to said toilet seat at said rear end;    a wall mounted control unit for supplying electric power to activate said electronically operated lowering mechanism;    an adjustable timer disposed on said control unit for determining a pre-set time interval before supplying electric power to activate said electronically operated lowering mechanism; and    means for supplying an adjustable amount of heat to said inner volume of said toilet seat.    
     
     
         9 . A toilet seat control system as recited in  claim 8 , wherein said means includes an array of electric heating coils disposed in said inner volume of said toilet seat.  
     
     
         10 . A toilet seat control system as recited in  claim 9 , wherein said control unit supplies electric power to heat said heating coils and includes; 
 an adjustment member disposed on said control unit for varying the amount of electric power to said heating coils.    
     
     
         11 . A toilet seat control system as recited in  claim 10 , wherein said toilet seat has an outer surface and wherein said outer surface is fabricated from electrically insulated material.
