Abstract
A seat closure and retention system comprising a spring, a retention device, a seat, and a housing is disclosed herein. The system may include a tapered ramp surface configured such that as the anchoring device, such as a spring loaded device, approaches a notch and/or bowl shaped portion based on movement of the seat from a substantially horizontal portion to a substantially vertical position. Stated another way, in response to the pin and/or ball of anchoring device making contact with the tapered ramp surface a damper effect is achieved.
