"Seat Valet" Closes Toilet Seat Automatically
"It works off pressure in the lines, which is typically about 40 psi," explains inventor Joseph Denys of St. Clair Shores, Mich. "A sensor mounts along the side of the toilet bowl and connects to a small hydraulic cylinder, with one end attached to an arm on the toilet seat. The sensor senses the drop in water pressure in the water inlet to the toilet tank when the toilet's flushed. This activates the cylinder's ram, which lowers the seat."
Denys, 68, has built several of the patented seat closers and sells them for $80. He's looking for a manufacturer and/or marketer to take over building and selling the devices.
