Embodiment Construction

[0067] first reference Figure 1a and Figure 1b , shows a retaining pin or engagement device 2 suitable for engaging a toilet seat / cover to a toilet base. The engagement device 2 is movable between a disengaged position and an engaged position relative to an aperture 4 defined in the toilet base 6 through which at least a portion of the device 2 is inserted.

[0068] The toilet base 6 has an upper surface 8 and a lower surface 10 between which the aperture 4 is defined.

[0069] The engagement device 2 includes a body section 12 having an extension 14 extending from a first or underside 16 of the body section 12; On the second or upper surface 20 .

[0070] In use, the extension 14 is inserted from the upper surface 8 of the toilet base 6 and through the aperture 4 such that the underside 16 of the main body section 12 rests on the upper surface 8 of the toilet base 6 . The width of the body section 12 is greater than the width of the hole 4 such that when in position the ...

Abstract

A retaining pin has a body section with an aperture therein and an actuation mechanism arranged at a first end of the body section. A pin is provided and connected at a first end to the actuation means and extending therefrom, through the aperture of the body section. An outer sleeve is arranged around the pin in contact therewith and the outer sleeve comprises an expandable section that, upon operation of the actuation means, can be expanded from a first dimension to a second dimension, wherein the second dimension is greater than the first dimension.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a joint device in the form of a retaining pin for connecting two or more objects, in particular for connecting a toilet seat to a toilet base, and a method of use thereof. Background technique [0002] Typically, the toilet seat and / or toilet lid are attached to the toilet base or toilet bowl by bolts that pass through holes in the toilet seat and pre-set holes in the toilet base. Bolts are inserted from the upper surface of the toilet base and held in place with nuts attached from below the toilet base. However, access to the underside of the toilet base is often difficult because access around and below the toilet base is often limited. Also, the installation process may require special tools to fit the nuts to the bolts, so once installed, the toilet seat usually stays in place for the life of the toilet base, or at least is replaced infrequently. This creates a potential sanitation problem, as the nut and bolt arr...
