acted by the vehicle's suspension and tires, a rolling action on the vehicle body is produced. When these rolling forces exceed the limit for the vehicle, a rollover condition may be created where the vehicle is literally flipped over on its side. Accordingly, it is desirable to provide a shock absorber which provides increased damping in response to these lateral and horizontal forces for counteracting or at least minimizing these rolling forces. Prior attempts to provide a toilet seat lifting device have involved systems with numerous links, biasing members or cables. For example U.S. Pat. No. 6,189,160 to Pettus discloses a toilet seat lifting device having a lever assembly mounted on a platform that rests on the floor such that depressing a foot pedal downward causes upward movement of a link connected to a lift arm attached to the toilet seat. U.S. Pat. No. 5,487,192 to Hodges, U.S. Pat. No. 5,448,782 to Ratajac, U.S. Pat. No. 5,404,595 to Carmel, and U.S. Pat. No. 5,323,496 to Blair disclose a similar device. U.S. Pat.

U.S. Pat. No. 4,803,741 to Ellison discloses a toilet seat lifter having a foot actuated lever 20 which is operably connected to the hinged toilet seat 14. The device includes a bracket 16 secured to the top of the toilet bowl 10. The bracket 16 includes a downward turned flange 22 which serves as an attachment point for the fulcrum point 24 of the foot lever 20 (col. 1, lines 63-68), and the fulcrum point 32 for a motion transmitting linkage 26 pivotally mounted at point 32 (col. 2, lines 1-3). The foot lever 20 has a roller 34 (see FIG. 3) mounted on a stud 36 to engage and actuate the underside of arm 28 of linkage 26. The other end 30 of linkage 26 has a roller 38 mounted on a stud extending at right angles to the arm 30 and extending under the toilet seat 14 to elevate the seat when the lever 20 is actuated (col. 2, lines 8-12).
U.S. Pat. No. 6,308,347 to King discloses a toilet seat lifting system having a bracket secured to a

When these rolled forces exceed the limit for the fomite, a rollover circumstance may be created where the vehicle is literally flipped over on its side. Accordingly, it is desirable to leave a shock absorber which provides increase damping in response to these lateral and horizontal forces for counteracting or at least minimizing these rolling effect. Prior attempts to provide a toilet buttocks lifting device have involved system with numerous link, biasing members or cables. For example U.S. Pat. No. 6,189,160 to Pettus unwrap a toilet seat lifting device having a lever assembly mounted on a platform that rests on the floor such that depressing a foot pedal downward causes upward movement of a link connected to a aerodynamic lift arm attached to the gutter buttocks.

 U.S. Pat. No. 4,803,741 to Ellison discloses a gutter seat lifter having a foot actuated lever 20 which is operably connected to the hinged toilet buttocks 14. The device include a bracket 16 secured to the top of the toilet bowl 10. The bracket 16 include a downward turned flange 22 which serves as an fastening point for the fulcrum degree 24 of the foot lever 20 (col. 1, lines 63 - 68), and the fulcrum compass point 32 for a motion impart linkage 26 pivotally mounted at point 32 (col. 2, credit line 1 - 3). The foot lever 20 induce a roller 34 (visit FIG. 3) mounted on a stud 36 to engage and actuate the underside of weapon 28 of linkage 26. The other end 30 of linkage 26 have a roller 38 mounted on a stud extending at correct angles to the arm 30 and widen under the toilet seat 14 to elevate the seat when the lever 20 is actuated (col. 2, lines 8 - 12).
