Problems solved by technology

Other systems rely on relatively weak parts that have a higher chance of breaking down over time
Still other systems require relatively complex multi-part assemblies, which increase production costs and require a certain level of skill for the consumer to use
There are other components that require tools to disassemble for cleaning
Other components require consumers to touch contaminated parts of the component

Embodiment Construction

[0023] Referring first to FIG. 1 , a toilet assembly 10 includes a conventional toilet base 12 generally having a bowl portion 14 and a rear extension 20 . The bezel 16 and cover 18 are mounted to the extension 20 .

[0024] As shown in Figure 3, the bezel 16 and cover 18 have ears 22 and 23, both of which have horizontally oriented openings 24 (one of which is shown) for receiving rotatable hinge pins 26 and 27, respectively. The hinge pin pivotally mounts the seat 16 and the cover 18 so that they pivot along a horizontal axis parallel to the top surface of the toilet base 12 .

[0025] Referring now to FIGS. 1 , 2 and 4 , the rear extension 20 has a flat top surface 28 with two vertical through holes 30 and 31 . The through hole provides a location for attaching the toilet seat 16 and cover 18 to the toilet base 12 with the mounting assembly of the present invention, shown generally at 32 in FIG. 1 .

[0026] Referring now primarily to FIGS. 2-5 , the mounting assembly 32 ...

Abstract

A mounting assembly is disclosed for mounting a toilet seat and / or cover in a releasable fashion to the rear of a toilet bowl base. The assembly includes a fastener permanently affixed to the toilet base on which is mounted a cross shaped mount. The mount is engaged by deflectable arms extending from a hinge base. The arms flex outward slightly during mounting and dismounting, where mounting and dismounting can be achieved by a horizontal sliding motion. A hinged cap snaps onto the pair of arms to cover the fastener and prevent deflection of the arms and thus separation of the base member from the fastener.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to mounting a toilet seat and / or toilet lid to the top of a bedpan. More precisely, the present invention relates to an assembly that allows the majority of its parts to be easily disassembled from the toilet for easy cleaning. Background technique [0002] Typically, toilet seats and lids are sold pre-assembled with hinge assemblies. The assembly is then attached via a hinge post to the rear extension of the toilet base behind the potty. In such constructions, the hinge post is typically bolted to the rear extension by a bolt-like fastener that extends downwardly through the extension. A nut screwed onto the fastener from the underside of the extension clamps the assembly to the extension. [0003] These components are intended to be attached substantially permanently to the extension of the toilet base, particularly when assembly and disassembly require the use of tools on the underside of the extension. This creates...
