Abstract

There is provided a toilet seat hinge which allows different seats to be quickly replaced or substituted and which will adapt to different manufacturers' bowls. This is accomplished by providing removable hinge pins to secure the seat to the hinge, and adjustable connections from the hinge base to the toilet bowl. The base of the hinge may also be integral with the toilet bowl.
