Abstract
A toilet adapter easing access for the disabled comprised of a one-piece welded metal frame with a front side, a back side, a first side, and a second side, with each side welded at a 90° angle. The frame also includes a pair of supporting members welded at a 90° angle between the front side and the back side. A toilet seat assembly attaches to the metal frame, and a first leg assembly and a second leg assembly each attach to the frame using a piano hinge that rotates the leg assembly 90° inward from an extended position. The second leg assembly attaches to an extension so that it rotates to fit flush against the first leg assembly when rotated inward 90°.
