Abstract
A lift-off toilet seat hinge comprising a hinge base member adapted to be mounted on a toilet bowl, a hinge support member adapted to pivotally support a toilet seat, a locking member supported for rotation between a locked position, where the support member is secured to the base member, and an unlocked position, and an indicator for indicating when the locking member is in the locked position. The base member and the locking member include corresponding arcuate projections which engage when the locking member is in the locked position. The indicator includes a pair of engagement surfaces which engage when the locking member is in the locked position. In one embodiment, the engagement surfaces are provided by a projection on the locking member and a first recess and a second recess in the support member, and the projection extends into the first recess when the locking member is in the locked position.
