Hygienic toilet seat operating device

Abstract

A device that is installed into a toilet seat coverlid that a operator can use to hygienically engage and disengage the toilet seat such that the coverlid and seat may swing together or separately into the desired positions. The device includes a knob or handle affixed to the coverlid, and connected to an engagement device that can engage or disengage the toilet seat. Due to the installation of the knob or lever on the coverlid, it is always elevated away from the urine stream and toilet water backsplash during use, and thus it maintains a cleaner contact point for the user to lift the toilet seat and/or coverlid assembly as needed for use.

1 . A device that is installed on a toilet coverlid that engages and elevates the toilet seat. 
     
     
         2 . A device as claimed in  claim 1 , which consists of a handle attached to an engagement apparatus, where said apparatus consists of a magnet that when in close proximity to a ferromagnetic piece, represents the engaged “ON” position, allowing for lifting of the toilet seat. 
     
     
         3 . A device as claimed in  claim 1 , which consists of a handle attached to an engagement apparatus, where said apparatus consists of a lever with bilateral arms that swing underneath the toilet seat, representing the engaged “ON” position, allowing for lifting of the toilet seat. 
     
     
         4 . A device as claimed in  claim 1 , which consists of a handle attached to an engagement apparatus, where said apparatus consists of an arm that slides through grooves or rails to engage the underside of the toilet seat, representing “ON” position, allowing for lifting the toilet seat. 
     
     
         5 . A device as claimed in  claim 1  in which the handle can be substituted by a lever, knob, or any other such device that functions to rotate the engagement apparatus for engagement and disengagement of the toilet seat.
