Urinal Integrated Lid System
Abstract
A urinal integrated lid system is provided comprising a toilet seat, a lower lid and an upper lid, wherein one or more hinges couple the toilet seat, the lower lid and the upper lid together. The system further comprises a first coupling mechanism securing the lower lid to the upper lid and a second coupling mechanism secures the upper lid to a toilet water tank, wherein, after the second coupling mechanism secures the upper lid to the toilet water tank, a separation force separates the lower lid from the upper lid. After separation of the lower lid from the upper lid, the lower lid rotates via the one or more hinges through an angle range of 0 degrees to 75 degrees with respect to the upper lid.
