Abstract
An automatic toilet plunger for clearing a blockage in a toilet includes a pipe having a plunger head engaged to a bottom end thereof so that the plunger head is in fluidic communication with the pipe. A pair of arms is hingedly engaged to the pipe. The arms are selectively positionable in an extended configuration and a stowed configuration. In the extended configuration, the arms engage a seat of a toilet. The arms fold downwardly, toward the bottom end of the pipe, into the stowed configuration. A handle, which is engaged to a top end of the pipe and which extends bilaterally therefrom, is hollow and in fluidic communication with the pipe. An actuator is engaged to at least one of the handle and the pipe and positioned therein. The actuator is manipulated to cause the plunger head to clear a blockage in the toilet.
