Abstract
A toilet aid is designed for use with a W.C. to assist disabled, elderly and infirm persons using the W.C. The aid is constructed for attachment to the W.C. pan using the normal seat-attachment bolt holes provided in the pan. An arm structure has side support arms which extend fowardly on either side of a user when seated on the toilet seat. The arms have inturned end portions to provide front support for the user, these portions being movable to the side to a front entry position which permits free entry and exit between the arms. When the arm portions are in this entry position the main side portions of the arms remain in their normal side support position, thus being positioned to assist the user when maneuvering into and out of the seated position. The aid can be used with all normal W.C. suites with a standard toilet seat.
