Telescoping and Collapsible Seat Integrated Sanitary Fixture

Abstract

An adjustable toilet device that includes a base supporting a telescoping seat that adjusts vertically between extended and collapsed positions via a hydraulic system is disclosed. The hydraulic system operates with a cylinder filled with incompressible fluid, controlled by a user-operated button located on the water tank cover. The seat comprises multiple vertically stacked circular members, or concentric and non-circular members, that facilitate telescoping. In one embodiment, a wireless actuator connected to the water tank, operable via a remote device enables users to adjust the seat height remotely. The hydraulic system is installed within the base of the toilet seat platform and is adapted to push fluid into the cylinder to raise the seat when the control button is pressed.
