Dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat

Abstract

A toilet seat is easily soiled by urine of men and boys if they have not lifted the toilet seat before they urinate. The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat can solve this problem by one mode of automatically lifting toilet seat by the mechanism of a seesaw or another mode of manually stepping on footboard to lift the toilet seat with minimum effort by the mechanism of a seesaw. Dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat can be converted simply by changing the hanging position of weighted connectors on levers from the mode of automatically lifting apparatus to the mode of manually lifting apparatus by stepping on footboard and vice versa.

1 . A dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat comprising two grasping levers, two weighted connectors, and a weighted footboard wherein said apparatus lifts a toilet seat using a seesaw action. 
     
     
         2 . The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat of  claim 1 , wherein said grasping lever has a grasping clip to grasp the back of said toilet seat. 
     
     
         3 . The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat of  claim 1  wherein said grasping lever has one or more hooks to connect to said weighted connector. 
     
     
         4 . The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat of  claim 3 , wherein said hooks allow said weighted connector to connect to said grasping lever at different locations to change the amount of leverage on said grasping lever, whereby said apparatus can be changed from one that lifts said toilet seat automatically to one that requires said footboard to be stepped on to lift said toilet seat. 
     
     
         5 . The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat of  claim 1 , wherein said weighted connector connects said grasping lever and said weighted footboard. 
     
     
         6 . The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat of  claim 1 , wherein said footboard allows a person to step on said footboard to apply weight on said apparatus to lift said toilet seat. 
     
     
         7 . The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat of  claim 1 , wherein 
     
     
         8 . said weighted connectors and said weighted footboard have enough weight to lift or nearly lift said toilet seat by applying a downward force on one end of said grasping levers, whereby said apparatus can automatically lift said toilet seat or manually lift said toilet seat when a person steps on said footboard, respectively. 
     
     
         9 . A dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat comprising a grasping lever, a weighted connector and a weighted footboard. Wherein said apparatus lifts a toilet seat using a seesaw action. 
     
     
         10 . The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat of  claim 8 , wherein said gasping lever has a grasping clip to grasp the back edge of said toilet seat. 
     
     
         11 . The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat of  claim 8 , wherein said grasping lever has one or more hooks to connect to said weighted connector. 
     
     
         12 . The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat of  claim 10 , wherein said hooks allow said weighted connector to connect to said grasping lever at different locations to change the amount of leverage on said grasping lever, whereby said apparatus can be changed from one that lifts said toilet seat automatically to one that requires said footboard to be stepped on to lift said toilet seat. 
     
     
         13 . The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat of  claim 8 , wherein said weighted connector connects said grasping lever and said weighted footboard. 
     
     
         14 . The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat of  claim 1 , wherein said footboard allows a person to step on said footboard to apply weight on said apparatus to lift said toilet seat. 
     
     
         15 . The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat of  claim 8 , wherein said weighted connector and said weighted footboard have enough weight to lift or nearly lift said toilet seat by applying a downward force on one end of said grasping lever, whereby said apparatus can automatically lift said toilet seat or manually lift said toilet seat when a person steps on said footboard, respectively.
