A compact powered lift toilet for assisting a person in rising from or being seated upon a toilet by duplicating the natural motions of the human body. The toilet set accomplishes three separate motions simultaneously: (1) vertical translation, (2) horizontal translation, and (3) rotation. A sun and planet gear mechanism lifts and moves forward the front of the toilet seat while a lever action on the rear of the toilet seat causes the rear of the seat to rise and tilt forward with respect to the front of the seat. Both the sun and planet gear and the rear lever action are effected by a single linear actuator.

Compact powered lift toilet seat

A powered toilet seat used in association with a toilet bowl or throw-away waste receptacle and which may be used to assist a person in being raised and lowered relative to the toilet bowl. The present invention provides separate sets of mechanical linkages in order to provide the optimum motion for raising and lowering of the seat and for raising and lowering of the armrest. While the seat is constrained to both lift and move forward slightly while it is being rotated forwardly, the armrests follow a circular arc in which the armrests initially move predominately in the upward direction and complete the motion by moving predominately in a forward direction. In addition, the armrests are maintained in a horizontal orientation at all time.
