Abstract
An automatic toilet seat device which will cause a toilet seat to be either raised or lowered at the push of a single button and further, will automatically lower the toilet seat after the flush action of the toilet. A first switch associated with the device will, when activated, cause the toilet seat to be raised by an electric motor. Once the toilet user has flushed the toilet, a float switch associated with a tank of the toilet will cause the motor to lower the toilet seat. The control circuit controlling the automatic toilet seat device is microprocessor controlled and includes an over-current detection circuit. The over-current detection circuit will detect over-current in the motor when the seat is completely raised or lowered such that the microprocessor will stop the motor from turning.
