Systems and methods for providing a toilet seat lifting device

Abstract

This invention relates generally to mechanics, and more specifically, to systems and methods for providing a toilet seat lifting device. In one embodiment, the toilet seat lifting device includes a base; a lever, the lever rotatably coupled to the base; and a weight, the weight coupled to the lever, wherein the base is configurable to being mounted on a toilet having a toilet seat and wherein gravitational force applied to the weight results in biased rotation of the lever to lift the toilet seat.

1 . A toilet seat lifting device, the toilet seat lifting device comprising:
 a base;   a lever, the lever rotatably coupled to the base; and   a weight, the weight coupled to the lever,   
     wherein the base is configurable to being mounted on a toilet having a toilet seat and wherein gravitational force applied to the weight results in biased rotation of the lever to lift the toilet seat. 
   
   
       2 . The toilet seat lifting device of  claim 1 , wherein the weight is slidably mounted on the lever. 
   
   
       3 . The toilet seat lifting device of  claim 2  further comprising a device for locking the weight at a position along a length of the lever. 
   
   
       4 . The toilet seat lifting device of  claim 2 , wherein a position of the weight along a length of the lever is electromechanically controllable. 
   
   
       5 . The toilet seat lifting device of  claim 1 , wherein the weight is integrated with the lever. 
   
   
       6 . The toilet seat lifting device of  claim 1 , wherein an amount of the weight is adjustable. 
   
   
       7 . The toilet seat lifting device of  claim 1 , wherein in the base includes at least one orifice. 
   
   
       8 . The toilet seat lifting device of  claim 7 , wherein the at least one orifice is elongated. 
   
   
       9 . The toilet seat lifting device of  claim 1 , wherein the lever includes an arm that is configurable to being disposed at least partially under the toilet seat. 
   
   
       10 . The toilet seat lifting device of  claim 9 , wherein the arm is adjustably movable relative to the lever. 
   
   
       11 . The toilet seat lifting device of  claim 1 , wherein the lever is configurable to being coupled to the toilet seat. 
   
   
       12 . The toilet seat lifting device of  claim 1 , further comprising a device for locking the lever at a position relative to the toilet. 
   
   
       13 . A toilet, the toilet comprising:
 a toilet seat;   a lever, the lever rotatably coupled to the toilet; and   a weight, the weight coupled to the lever,   
     wherein gravitational force applied to the weight results in biased rotation of the lever to lift the toilet seat. 
   
   
       14 . The toilet of  claim 13 , wherein the weight is slidably mounted on the lever. 
   
   
       15 . The toilet of  claim 14  further comprising a device for locking the weight at a position along a length of the lever. 
   
   
       16 . The toilet of  claim 14 , wherein a position of the weight along a length of the lever is electromechanically controllable. 
   
   
       17 . The toilet of  claim 13 , wherein the weight is integrated with the lever. 
   
   
       18 . The toilet of  claim 13 , further comprising a device for locking the lever at a position relative to the toilet. 
   
   
       19 . The toilet of  claim 13 , wherein the lever includes an arm that is configurable to being disposed at least partially under the toilet seat. 
   
   
       20 . A toilet seat lifting device, the toilet seat lifting device comprising:
 a means for lifting a toilet seat; and   a means for biasing the means for lifting a toilet seat in an upright position through gravitational force.
