WIPO Patent Application WO2004045352
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an elevated toilet seat assembly (10) having two major components, a seating ring (12) and a mounting bracket (14). The seating ring (12) has a riser (82) and first and second flanges or wings (90, 92) on either side of the seating ring (12). The flanges or wings (90,92) have receptacles (116) for an attachment of arm rests (110) and a central socket (118) for an attachment of an auxiliary basket (120). The seating ring (12) is removably attachable to the top land (24) of a toilet bowl (20) via the mounting bracket (14). The mounting bracket (14) has two first attachment elements (46). Each first attachment element (46) has a jaw (48) and a latch (50) which cooperate with the second attachment elements (98) on the riser (82) of the seating ring (12). Each second attachment element (98) includes a receptacle (100) and a pocket (102) which together define a bar or catch (104) between them. The catch (104) has a lip (106) on its underside for engaging a pawl (66) of the latch (50) such that movement of the latch (50) allows the second attachment elements (98) to engage the first attachment elements (46) in a snap fit.
