Toilet cover apparatus

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a toilet cover lifting apparatus comprising a toilet covering equipped with an integrated receiving port. The apparatus is also configured with a removable handle configured to couple to the receiving port. The length of the handle of the present invention is sufficient to provide increased mechanical advantage to a user of decreased mobility.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A toilet cover lifting apparatus comprising:
 A toilet covering equipped with an integrated receiving port;   A removable handle configured to couple to the receiving port, wherein the length of the handle is sufficient to provide increased mechanical advantage.   
     
     
         2 . The toilet cover lifting apparatus of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the integrated receiving port is configured with magnetic elements and the removable handle is equipped with magnetic element of an opposing polarity.   
     
     
         3 . The toilet cover lifting apparatus of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the removable handle is configured to have an extendable length to increase the mechanical advantage.   
     
     
         4 . The toilet cover lifting apparatus of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the removable handle is configured with multiple coupling points each coupling port configured to provide a different level of mechanical advantage.   
     
     
         5 . The toilet cover lifting apparatus of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the integrated receiving port is configured to be positioned within the toilet covering, such that the profile of the toilet covering is not disrupted.   
     
     
         6 . The toilet cover lifting apparatus of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the integrated receiving port is hinged so as to be rotated from a engage position such that the integrated receiving port extends beyond a surface of the toilet covering, to a disengaged position such that the integrated receiving port stored between the toilet seat and a toilet device.   
     
     
         7 . A toilet cover lifting apparatus comprising:
 an apparatus configured to be selectively engaged to a toilet seat, the apparatus configured with a handle member, the handle member is coupled to a lifting member, the lifting member equipped with a plurality of recesses configured to accept the insertion of a portion of a toilet cover.   
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the handle is formed of a flexible material such that the handle is configured to bend in relation to the lifting member when a force is applied to the handle which is perpendicular to the degree of movement of the toilet cover. 
     
     
         9 . A toilet cover lifting apparatus comprising:
 A removable handle configured be optionally engaged with a toilet covering and used to raise or lower the toilet covering.   
       a method of raising or lowering a toilet covering using an optionally engaged handle, wherein the toilet covering is equipped with an integrated receiving port configured to accept a portion of the handle incorporating the steps of:
 inserting the handle into the integrated receiving port; 
 applying a vertical force to the handle to raise or lower the toilet covering 
 removing the handle from the integrated receiving port.
