Abstract:

A lock mechanism normally restraining manual raising movement of a toilet lid. A lid control shoe has an outer portion adapted for attachment to a lid upper surface and a shelf portion projecting toward a toilet apron surface. A lid control arm is mounted on a medially positioned shelf pivot and has a short portion extending toward the shoe outer portion and a long portion extending toward an area adjacent the apron surface. Tension elements and a stop element carried by the shoe shelf normally position the control arm long portion and a vertical flange thereon in proximity to the apron surface. Preferably, the lid control arm projects upwardly toward the toilet apron surface at an angle of substantially five degrees (5. degree. ).
