Abstract
A lifting assembly for the lifting of both a lid and seat structure of conventional design normally placed in covering relation to the open mouth of a toilet bowl wherein utilization of the toilet assembly necessitates the lifting or positioning of at least the lid and preferably the seat portion in a non-covering relation to the open mouth of the toilet bowl. Two lifting assemblies are independently structured and mounted on the support frame for the independent and successive lifting of the lid and/or the seat structures and are each activated or operated by application of foot pressure thereby eliminating need to touch either of the lid or seat structure with the hand of the user.
