Title: Raised toilet seat apparatus

Abstract: A raised toilet seat apparatus includes anti-tipping structure which is compatible with a wide variety of conventional commodes. The anti-tipping structure comprises a pair of L-shaped brackets connected to the raised toilet seat and a locking bar held in position by the mounting bolts on the hinged toilet seat of the converted commode. A gap is formed between the locking bar and the surface of the commode by a pair of spacer washers. The locking brackets each include a horizontal foot section which is snuggly receivable in the gap. The entire apparatus may be easily installed by slipping the foot sections of the locking brackets under the locking bar. Conversely the entire apparatus may be easily removed. The locking brackets may be modified with spacers so as to accomodate institutional toilets having their mounting bolts set further back from the rim of the bowl. The locking bar may also take a variety of shapes including wire and washer forms.
