Abstract
A self-lowering toilet seat system includes a toilet bowl and a toilet seat. The system includes a hinge rotatably coupling the toilet seat and the toilet bowl. The hinge is configured so that the toilet seat is transitionable between a down position and an up position. A lowering device is configured to self-lower the toilet seat towards the down position. A fixedly sealed hinge housing has a delay device therein. The delay device is configured to cause a seat time delay before the lowering device causes the toilet seat to lower towards the down position. The delay device is engaged by applying a seat lifting force to raise the toilet seat towards the up position and removing the seat lifting force from the toilet seat. The delay device is configured to reset the seat time delay when the lifting force is reapplied before the delay device has expired.
