Title: Adjustable height closet seat assembly

Abstract: A water closet seat assembly with a closet seat for use in an elevated or a conventional position. The seat assembly includes support walls mounted on opposite sides of the water closet and provided with two vertical and opposed guideways. The closet seat has a central opening for access to the receptacle and guides which project into the guideways and are free to slide and pivot therein. Support protrusions project inwardly from the support walls to support the closet seat in the elevated position. As the closet seat guides are moved to the bottom of the guideways, an extended lip portion of the closet seat which rests on the support protrusion, moves rearwardly to clear the protrusions and permit the closet seat to be lowered to its conventional position adjacent the upper edge of the water closet receptacle. Arm rests may extend from the walls to provide support for the arms of the user.
